NEVER pay full price again!



I did it!!

I haven't paid retail for clothes in at least 8 years! I always searched for the best deal.
Then these last few months I found Swagbucks. I use it as my search engine and earn points for just doing my regular online searches. I can then turn my points into giftcards to Target, Amazon and paypal and sooooo many more. In the last 3 months I have managed to earn $50 to amazon and have enough points for another $50 giftcard! and this is just casually searching. My goal is to have Christmas paid for by Swagbucks!! If you want to do this too- start here. Then use Swagbucks as your homepage instead of Google or Bing. Then to save money on shipping sign up for Amazon Mom- it is free 3 day shipping on your purchases from amazon PLUS you get an extra savings off of plenty of things like diapers (30%), and sooooo much more!!!!!! It saves soo much more money!!

The only thing missing was my grocery savings. Sure I used a coupon here and there, but ever since Grocery stores have started doubling coupons up to $.99 it has changed the way I shop.
My Know it all resource page is most certainly COUPON DIVA's. They take the work out of couponing for you. leaving just the clipping up to you. (There are so many sites that can help you with this- so if you want any more- let me know.) The Coupon Divas take almost every store you can think of and match up coupons to their weekly sales to get you the BEST buy on everything out there, and often times-things for FREE!!!

The picture above is a savings of $48.83 and that is a savings AFTER the already marked down SALE price!!

All of this is just too good to keep to myself, but I will warn you- Saving Money IS Addicting!!!!!

Happenin in Ohio

Okay, so winter is almost over and I cannot wait!! This last weekend we had 75 degree weather- so nice!

I pulled out the sandals and shorts, the kids are loving it. I am not convinced winter won't try to stick its two cents in again before the end of May, but I am hopeful to keep the trend going. It can still rain, just ease up on the cold. that's all I'm saying.

Things are finally getting better for us. We are still blessed with a job, a great house to live in, awesome friends and family, and eachother! I thank our Father in Heaven every day for our many blessings.

In just about a month, our baby will be turning 3. While they normally say the terrible 2's. My kids have always had the terrible 3's. Unfortunatley, she has started a little early with the tantrums and they are ALWAYS in public. Oh joy!
Its hard to believe that our beautiful youngest daughter is growing up so fast.

Here are some recent pictures to keep you busy ...........and it's been a while, so there are a lot. :)

Love you and Miss you All!!
