Perfecting Imperfection

So...last night I had to do some last minute running around for a little trip we are getting ready to take.  I know you aren't suppose to tell the internet when you are going away but the house isn't going to be unattended (I have great neighbors), we have an alarm system that will be armed and my FB page is private so...

If you have been reading the blog for a while, you probably remember the whole story about Danika needing breathing treatments back in April.  She had gone to the circus with my parents.  She rode a pony and then was having trouble breathing that night and the next morning.  We ended up at Children's Hospital all day on Sunday. Cute, huh? After a...

I have to admit that a lot of my "free" time - which there isn't much of to begin with - but a lot of my "free" time has been going to learning and researching more about coupons.  The good news is that I think I've found a routine that is going to work for me and I'm getting better at figuring things...

In other news, I have 3 kids with fevers and 1 puking...so this blog post isn't going to be a long one.  Actually, the boys are doing...

Actually ~ that's probably not entirely true. It started by flicking through the On-Demand TV shows and stumbling across Extreme Couponing.  My friend, Shannon, had mentioned the show to me months ago but I never was able to catch it when it was on and I never really thought it would be On-Demand.  When I saw it on there, I decided to watch...

I was thinking about the last blog post I wrote when I started my morning and remembered that it was way back on Saturday.  For some reason I also thought that today was Monday.  I guess that means I was having fun because time really did fly between then and now! I'm going to share some pictures of the weekend and a few...
