Spring is in the Air

What a beautiful day to wake up to. The birds are chirping and the warm heat from the sun is bringing spring into blossom. The garden spot is cleaned up and now we are waiting on the tiller motor to arrive so we can till the ground. Trigger made it back for the summer, (our horse). We got 2 new additions of hampsters to watch exercise. Let me tell you what I never knew they could run so much but that wheel could run all night long. This could be a science project, maybe we could generate some electricity off that :) Instead of a windmill a hampster mill. Anyway just an update with a thought that the mushrooms have to be getting close.

WAHMOF6 back HOME

Wow I can't hardly believe it is true but this is the first whole weekend I am not actually driving to work. I am finally back home where I belong. A real wahm. Now I am ready to start a little shop of my own here at the house. I will keep you updated on that. Some ebay sales and couponing too. Every penny helps!

Surfing the net through War Driving

Well you would probably never guess but right now I am sitting at McDonalds surfing the internet. Yes it's a new thing that you can do if you don't have the internet and need to check your mail. Or maybe you just want to save money for the month you would be paying for service and you can get these connections different places in your town. Take a night out and give it a try. See how many free internet connections are available in your area.

Recap of 2011

It's the end of the year and Christmas is over again. We got some snow but it melted by the end of the day so I am still waiting on that blizzard to hit. With the new year getting ready to ring in we can all hope for a year of putting God first instead of ourselves. We had a rough year in 2011. It is a wonder I survived but I did. Here's to 2012 and getting ready to be self sufficient with the grace of God upon us.

Coupons that work

Ok I have been studying online about all this coupon stuff and trying to put it all together. I bought my sunday papers and started clipping. I bought me a book to keep my coupons in and a new pair of sissors. I went to the grocery with coupons in hand and my local store discount card. I spent over a hundred dollars and got sixty dollars off with my coupons and discounts. That is an extra sixty dollars to save! I am now hooked on this new hobby and can't wait for the next trip to save and stock up the pantry.

Coupons

So I have been talking with others about the great benefit of using coupons and thought why not give it a try. I am open for any helpful hints to get this going. There has got to be a way to save money with coupons and this is something I really want to get into. I remember when I was younger my mom got into it and saved us a lot of money. She also got into the rebates and was getting some real cool stuff too. Give me some ideas about it and let me know about your coupon adventures!
