{Bubby’s Birthday}

Our sweet little man turned three yesterday!  I had every intention of sitting down to write up a post then, but with everything else going on at our house, that just didn’t happen.  Prepping for a birthday party is hard work!  Haha!! So, yesterday morning I sat down to read this post and could hardly […]

{saving money on “the basics”}

If you follow my page on Facebook, chances are you saw this picture pop up last week.  Make no mistake about it….I totally danced a jig in front of the refrigerated section at Kroger when I came across these gallons of milk for a whopping $0.99 each!!! I’m often asked by those who know me […]

{drowning in my home}

So, one might think that because I’ve taken an extended blogging break that our lives must be pretty ho-hum these days. Quite the contrary.  We’ve actually been just as busy as usual….if not more so. My problem is that with all of the life going on around here I feel like I just sometimes don’t […]

{a peek into our week ~ 01/12/2013 }

This week was pretty uneventful as far as weeks go around here.  We followed pretty much the same old routine as usual.  The most exciting thing about our week (in the girls’ minds) is that they finally go to start piano lessons.  I’ll admit that I’m pretty excited about them learning to play piano, too.  […]

{ 01/06/2013 ~ Shopping Results }

It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted results from one of my shopping trips.  The main reason being that I took several months off from couponing.  But I knew that I was really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things once the holidays were past us.f Today I went to […]

{how i saved $25 without using a single coupon}

I’ll be honest with you.  I really can’t stand shopping at Walmart and I try to avoid it at all costs.  There are certain things that really are less expensive there if you just have to purchase something immediately and can’t wait for a sale elsewhere.  But one way to save money at Walmart is […]

{a look at what’s to come}

Originally when I started this blog, my intention was to share money saving tips, frugal living ideas, and organizational tidbits.  Because quite frankly, that’s what I know.  So, I thought it might be appropriate to share a rough schedule of what to expect here on the blog.  Mondays will more than likely be my cooking […]

{ring in the year 2013}

It seems almost unbelievable to me that I’m sitting here writing ANOTHER New Year’s Eve post!  I feel like this year has gone by so quickly, I must have surely slept through some days.  As a child, I never understood why adults always lamented over the fact that “time flies by”.  Back then, I WISHED […]

{the little things}

Tonight’s conversation at bedtime: Bubba:  “Mommy, you (pats bed beside him).” Mommy: “Bubba, Mommy needs to go clean the kitchen.” Bubba: “No, Mommy, you (again pats bed beside him).” ********I thought I might also mention that although my son is two and a half years old, he has a speech delay and so a lot of […]

{Merry Christmas…..or Bah Humbug?}

For at least a full solid month I’ve been planning.  Planning the dinner, planning the gifts, planning the traditions and the memories to be “made”.  With all of that planning, things were sure to go smoothly, right?? Wrong. I planned to make my husband’s favorite Christmas meal of prime rib.  Nevermind the fact that I’ve […]
