About



As a stay at home mom to two little boys and a wife to a wonderful man, I am blessed with the freedom of couponing, cooking and watching my little guys grow up around me every day. My passions include creating tasty meals and treats, blogging and grocery shopping. (I love Kroger!)

Something else that has always been close to my heart is helping others. A few years ago, events in my life began to shift my focus from mental health to financial freedom. When faced with the choice of either putting my son in daycare and working full time or making the money we had go further, I chose the latter. Couponing has changed my family in ways I never thought were possible. We eat better on less and we are better stewards of the finances with which we have been blessed.

There is no denying the importance of a strong family presence in today's fast paced and burdening world. The rising cost of groceries should not be another source of stress. I hope that I can give you some pointers, coupon matchups and simple recipes that will enable and encourage your family to spend more time together at home. If you are new to couponing, I urge you to be patient. Think of it as learning a new skill – you didn't learn to ride a bike the first time you sat on the seat.

You will be confused.
You will be overwhelmed.
You will want to throw up your hands and give up.
Patience…
You CAN do this.

God has been so good to our family - I hope I can pass on some of His love to you! Let's fix dinner and save money- if we happen to have a ton of fun along the way then it's a win-win :)
