Today I am joining in a blog carnival called Friday Flip Offs.  I have had a few frustrating things happening lately and thought it just might feel good to vent. My first flip off is to Dick’s Sporting Goods.  My husband had dropped off a few kids at the mall to hang out for bit.  [...]

This is just a reminder of what I do and how I do it.  Lately when I have been seen out shopping,  people see me with my coupons and they ask me how I do it.  This is for you.  Plus it just a good reminder for those of us that have lost focused. I [...]

This tip is directly from my daughter.  She didn’t share it with me, I actually saw that she had done it and I thought it was so clever. She goes through the Q-tips like crazy (that helped with this idea).  She takes the back cardboard off and is left with the clear front.  She puts [...]

Want to know what I was doing last night?  I couldn’t have said it better myself, so head on over to Insipred2cook and read all about it. I hope you are all blessed with friends that you can laugh with, eat with and share life with.

You know me the foodie, that can’t get enough of the Portland food.  The other day I said to my husband “I am craving Noho’s“  and what do you know, today’s Groupon is for Noho’s. This is a great Hawaiian Cafe that serves not only great food, but serves it in very large portions.  All [...]
