LET’S SAVE – Coupons and Deals

Do I like to save money?
I consider myself money conscious more than frugal. I am a money manager. I think twice before making a purchase, asking myself if the item’s price is worth it, do I have the money and do I love it. I save money so my family can spend it on things we love and to have money for a rainy day. A budget is key to our money management success. I try to think of a budget as not burdensome but instead it gives my family the ability to stay in control of our finances.

What about coupons? Do I really use coupons?
The spring of 2009 is when my journey to couponing began. I never realized how much money I could save. Seriously. I can’t believe I never did it before. I was always good at just saving our income. I feel like the money I save on groceries and household items is how I contribute financially to my family.

How can I help you?
You’ll find the latest printable coupons, online deals and freebies such as free eBooks posted on a daily basis.

LET’S CREATE - DIY Projects and Cooking

Do I post about other things besides coupons and deals?
Yes. I love being creative. Do-it-yourself projects make me happy and I love to share my projects with you. My home décor and craft projects are things I actually display and use. The projects I share are meant to inspire and not discourage. A few projects are time consuming but most are simple. I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed. I don’t want you to feel like that here.

Do I like cooking?
I used to be intimidated by cooking. Well, sometimes I still am. I love the feeling of providing a home cooked meal to my family. My cooking skills are a work in progress. I’m not perfect but I want to get better. There’s nothing gourmet, difficult or fancy about the recipes and treats on this blog. Most “In the Kitchen” posts are simple and doable. If a reluctant cook like myself can do it, then you can, too. Read about my freezer cooking adventures, my love for baking and other easy ideas HERE.

LET’S LIVE – Home Tips and Personal Growth

Do I have an organized and clean home?
I’m working on having a more organized home. I believe cleaning out the physical clutter helps to clear your mind for other important tasks. Here you’ll find household and organizations tips I do myself and some ideas I find around the internet to share with you.

Please join me and together we can…

Save. Create. Live. Be Happy.
