Progress!

     I did it!  I finally posted my first recipe.  I hope you like it as much as we do.  Thanks to my sweet husband who drove on the messy roads, I have a new dryer.  All in all, it was a good day.

Murphy's Law

Well, it's been almost a week since I started into this adventure with good intentions and big plans.  It seems as though my plans have not worked out like I had hoped, however.  Between appointments, snow, changing appointments because of the snow, and my endless list of household responsibilities, I can't get a good block of time to give to my new blog.  Then, this evening, after my boys came in from playing in the snow, they put their wet clothes in the dryer.  About ten minutes into the cycle, my dryer died.  I've been through two dryers, and my very first dryer I ever owned finally quit after 16 years.  This is a major inconvenience when you do as much laundry as I do!  And since it's snowing down like crazy, i can't go get another one.  Ah, what can go wrong, will go wrong.  RIP my old friend.

Snow Day

                                                               Snow Day  At Home

Snow

They say we are to get three to six inches of snow tomorrow.  I'm waiting,  I'm in the mood for some snow this time.   I've not been feeling well and could use a good excuse to lie on the couch all day.  Snow is always a good reason to lie on the couch all day!  Tomorrow I'm going to post my first recipe.  Stay tuned!

My favorite website

I wanted to share my favorite website with you, it's called www.coupondivas.com.  She has some really great info on her website.  Today she has a post about where to find coupons (I'll post the link below).  Watch the video if you would like to know where they are available other than the Sunday paper.  She also has many other "how to" videos showing you how to work store deal and coupons.  She doesn't have a page for some of my local stores, like Weis or Martin's, so if you shop those stores like me, you can check my Deals section where I'll post any deals I find for those stores.
