~Tip of the Week
Generics!  Aaron BUSTED his knee open and needed 5 stitches today!  I bought generic first aid supplies because they are EXACTLY the same as the name brand, but for about 30% of the price!
~How I Saved the Week
Spring cleaning! Got rid of some old stuff we didn't need AND found a bunch of stuff I DO need and thought I would have to buy, like notebooks and post-its for school! HOORAY!
~Worth It
Zombies, Run! iPhone app! $7.99 in the app store, so much fun! If you have an iPhone (or android soon) and you want to do some running, this is a great, interactive game to try!
Totally worth it!

Rain City Fiber Arts 80/20 merino/nylon sock yarn. $20 for 400 yds.  Color is beautiful and not rubbing off on my skin, feels really sturdy like it will hold up well and isn't splitty at all! I love it! Plus, I love the fact that all the colorways are named after PNW places and cities!
