I love being able to print coupons to save money. I don’t always find coupons for the products my family uses in the newspaper – and finding deals online is a GREAT way to save a little extra money. Here is one source you might be able to use to find more coupons for your family,...

It is necessary to have the right equipment to do a job well, and for me, the right forms are a big part of my success.  I’m a “form” kind of girl – seriously I have more forms on file than a lot of people.  I like variety – I like change – and I like being able to customize my “chores” so having different forms from different sources is fun for me… As I’m learning how to really do...

I don’t know about you – but when I start something new – I tend to go ALL OUT with it.  If I can afford to purchase the “kit and caboodle” or invest in the “necessities” of getting the hobby off the ground running, I tend to do it.  I like to jump in with both feet, throwing caution to the wind, never mind having a plan of where to PUT all the stuff I get… So with my NEW HOBBY, because I have...

Do you plan menus, write out grocery lists and/or clip coupons to help stretch your budget?  Whether you do it out of necessity, out of the sheer love of being frugal, or have never even considered the idea, most people I know (and many people I don’t know) are finding more bargains at the store registers these days because they have become SMARTER & WISER CONSUMERS! Part of being & wife and mom, I believe, is being Manager of our...

Do any of you thrive in your favorite hobby?  Is it one of those things where you JUST have to do it – find a way to enjoy your hobby to its fullest – on a regular basis?  What is your favorite hobby? I’ve always had hobbies.  My mom was a really great teacher when it came to needlework and crafts, except for sewing which she does not enjoy much, and as a kid, I would get to sit alongside her and learn the newest thing: ...

Did you stand in line early to get into the store and snag up spectacular deals? Did you start early, but not too early, to get a few things on sale? Did you wait until later in the day to visit your favorite stores to grab a few Christmas presents you already intended to buy? Did you stay home and shop online? Did you say “Phooey” on Black Friday and spent the day eating leftovers from your big Thanksgiving dinner? How did YOU spend...

My mom is a Coupon Queen – she always has been. Although I’ve written about couponing, I’ve not been such an avid couponer until recently, and “avid” isn’t quite appropriate for me yet.  I’ve just been more conscientious lately about cutting coupons, looking at ads & sales, and being better with my grocery lists. But one day last week, after looking through the Kroger sales paper, clipping a few...

Do you “COUPON”? Do you spend time cutting coupons, filing them, and track your savings each week?  Do you consider yourself to be a “Coupon Queen” (or King)? My mom is a pretty amazing coupon shopper, but I’ll admit I’ve not invested myself quite deeply enough to see significant savings. Oh, I use coupons.  When I remember to bring my coupon filer.  Or when I remember that I HAVE a coupon for a particular...

Curly’s older cousin, Moe, gave her a Tshirt recently that is bright yellow with a hot pink graphic on the front that reads, “My Mom Rocks!” (I’d post a pic, but it’s in the dirty laundry at the moment…) I read it to her the first time she wore it, and now every time she puts it on, she says proudly “My Mom Rocks!” and does a little happy dance. I don’t even pay her to do that – somehow...
