New endevors

So we all need to save money right? We all know about coupons, but really, how many of us think to use them. I have been grocery shopping for years, and never used a coupon.

After seeing some of the savings that others are getting, I have to admit, I am actually jealous.
So I will be going to a class to prepare myself for my Adventures in Couponing. Duston says "Why do you need a class to tell you how to use coupons?" Well my dear, If I knew how to use them don't you think I would be saving us our hard earned money? MEN!

Then on another note. I have started Menu Planning. I hear it goes hand in hand with couponing, but how much menu can you plan when he doesn't eat seafood, doesn't want chicken more than a couple of times a week, and could eat steak w/ rice and gravy everyday.

I'll let you know how it goes.

In the beginning

So, this is it. A start to the blogging world. A place to share life happenings with everyone.

I am first of all a mother to a wonderful little boy, Andre', who'll be 2 in December. I think sometimes that crossing the 2 year old mark will be harder than 1 was. He'll no longer be a "baby". Growing by the minute, he never ceases to amaze me.
I am also a wife to Duston. we have been together more than 6 years now, and learn more everyday. Most importanly, he loves our little boy like I never knew he could. It melts my heart when I see them together. My two boys.

I am hoping to venture out on a new outlook on life. I have always been the one to take care of others. While I will still take care of the people that dapend on me everyday, I also need to take care of myself. So I'm saying to you, this is it. A starting point for a new me.

More to come. See you soon
