There is a sponsoerd link in this post. I used to love using coupons. That was when I was in college and I had a lot of time but little money. I would spend a couple of hours per week looking at coupon ad-match ups and finding the best deals at various stores. Sometimes I'd go to multiple stores to get the best deals at each. These days, I just enjoy using coupons less, so it doesn't feel as worthwhile to spend that time preparing. Instead, I look for easy ways to save money on groceries without Read more [...]

It's spring 2018 and the flowers and grass aren't the only thing growing around here! Baby number two is on the way - due November 5th, 2018. We are so excited to welcome a new little one to our family. We have prayed for this baby and are so excited to meet him or her! Quite possibly the most excited one is our two year old daughter.

For this review, we received the Circuit Builder 120 which is a kit that contains 46 parts that come with Read more [...]

I received product from CASIO to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. While I know everyone tends to carry a phone these days, there is just something about wearing a watch.  My husband has been watching lately and making comments on how it would be so nice to not have to dig his phone out every time he wants to know the time.  Or... every time one of the kids ask what time it is.  I asked him why he doesn't wear a watch and he said because they used to bother him as a kid and he Read more [...]
