Couponing – Do You Stockpile More During Spring?
I've been couponing since last June and I feel like I'm pretty successful at it now, but it took several months to really get a grasp on the game. For the first few months I felt like a complete failure, and then around September I started FINALLY seeing food coupons and that was when I saw more success. I later had people tell me that it wasn't my fault, that there are simply not a whole lot of food coupons during the summer, which makes it harder to coupon. Last summer, I remember getting Read more [...]
Ryan’s Birthday
Ryan's birthday was Wednesday. We didn't do anything too special. We've had a lot going on so he opted to just sit around the house and relax, but it was fun. I got him a hoodie he'd been wanting since last fall. We've been together for 5 of his birthdays now. I've always been a picky eater and I hate that I am, because I have such a hard time eating foods that taste poorly to me, that it's obvious to others that I don't like the food, even though I try my best to hide it. The first time Ryan had Read more [...]

Anyway, I've never got to try the food there but maybe someday. If you have one in your area, you can enter this giveaway to win 3 coupons for free kids Read more [...]
Noah’s Hands of Hope Last Minute Help Needed
For the last few years I've been following the blog Praying For Noah. Noah is now 5, loves volcanos, dragons and sea creatures. He has a mitrocondrial disorder. Of course, all of our cells contain mitochondria and because noah's don't work correctly, this means that various parts of his body will stop working correctly. His body never produces enough energy to keep all parts of his body functioning at the same time, so his body will put certain areas at a higher priority, and then the non-prioritized Read more [...]
