I can't say enough good things about Game Time. Located on wheat Street in Covington (near I-20 at exit 93), Game Time is THE place for an afternoon of fun, a faboo birthday party, a corporate or church event PLUS they do softball and baseball training. What more could you ask for in one business, right? I have loved Game Time since I first went in on a rainy afternoon with a group of boisterous Littles and some mamas who wanted (needed!) to catch up with one another. The adults like the chance to talk. The kids LOVE to play. Okay, you got me. The adults love to play as well. Game Time is an awesome sauce inflatable playground with slides, obstacle courses and a super friendly staff. One of my all time favorite places to be is Game Time. Check it out if you haven't and congrats to the winner of the play pass. You're gonna LOVE it.
One Fabulous Mama's private consultations are da bomb yo. Seriously. You get one on one instruction in basic couponing and frugal living. It's all the content of the class with just you and just me. You can ask whatever you'd like and I can walk you through the whole couponing process and show you how One Fabulous Mama shops, stockpiles and makes it fabulous on $350 a month.

I swear 2011 is on some kind of super fast forward. This year is FLYING by and I can hardly keep up with everything. I got a ton of mail asking me for July and August menus. I just couldn't manage to get either month posted for y'all. I still fed my famly though, so you know, yay for being a good mama. This month is a really big transition for us. I'll be adding venison to my freezer because the season opens this month. I might also land a duck or two, so I'm open to those additions! Now, mind you, I'm no hunter, but I have friends who are and every season we're either given processed meat or asked to go in on processing a kill or two. I'm happy to oblige!
I'm also going in on processing another hog this month. I still have plenty of pork lion and chops, but we're in need of bacon and sausage. I might just see what Holyfield has to offer since they're local. I'll let you know what I find out. I shouldn't have to purchase anything but fresh fruits and veggies to add to this month's menu. I sure do like that feeling. Frugal living sure is mighty fine! Peace, B. If you're new to OFM or to the idea of menu planning, start here. This is a post I did all about how I menu plan for the month. I try to use as much as I can from kmy stockpile to save money and I also have everything I need with the exception of fresh fruits and veggies on hand for an entire month's worth of meals. 1 pizza night
