I've become quite an avid coupon user (read: totally & completely hooked on it). Once you start to learn all the tips/tricks and find yourself some good resources, couponing can become a little bit of an OBSESSION! I think I've officially entered the "Crazy Coupon Lady" phase and I have the giant coupon binder to prove it! I seriously get so freakin' excited about saving big money and stockpiling items my family needs. Four months ago, when I … [Read more...]
Ok, here's the freebie I was talking about. I've seen wine bottle hang tags for sale on Etsy and wanted to take a stab at making one myself. This is my first, but I'm hoping to make more.

I stopped at that Tully’s coffee stand to get us some drinks because we were all parched and slightly irritable. For some … [Read more...]
[hidepost]I'm not one to retract a post after the fact, mostly because I believe stream of consciousness writing is cleansing for the soul. But I have to admit, I feel like a major JERK for hitting publish on that last post! Uh hello, thanks for attending my Pity Party! Hope you enjoyed your stay. Seriously, could I be anymore of a whiner? It's like "Waa! Waa! Look at me! I'm a Mom and it's so damn hard! Waa!". As if I'm the first SAHM to be … [Read more...]
