Here Goes Nothing

After much encouragement from my friend Angie and several others, I have officially entered the world of blogging.  I have been an avid blog reader for about a year and a half now.  My blog addiction started out with Money Saving Mom and has just grown from there.  I have found it to be a really fun hobby and a way to save money for my family.  Now before you go stereotyping me as a "penny pincher," let me tell you about my outlook on bargain shopping and couponing.  If I can save money in the little areas, then I can spend it on the things that I really love in life (ex. traveling).  It makes staying at home with my kids even that much more financially doable.  I will try to share with you some of my money saving methods along the way.

Speaking of my love for traveling, here is a picture of Landry and Brynley on our recent trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. 

A great place to start with coupons is to just look online at A Full Cup and Coupons.  Even if you don't want to commit to being an avid couponer, you can easily make your grocery list and then search for coupons on these two sites.  I would highly recommend Money Saving Mom as a place to start just to get an idea of how I started and to learn about the coupon lingo.

Here is a random beauty tip for you.  At my last eye doctor appointment, my doctor recommended using Johnson's Baby Shampoo to remove eye makeup.  This may not be new to all of you, but it was new for me.  Since I seem to have an over abundant supply of this from baby showers, I decided to give it a try.  I was pleasantly surprised how well it removes eye makeup and lives up to it's "No More Tears" tag line.

Welcome to my journey of random blogging!
