Been Too Long….Free Berries

Well it has been a long time since my last post and to be perfectly honest I am struggling with which direction this blog should go.

I love making things, but I don’t get to do that everyday.

I love decorating my home, but I don’t get to do that everyday.

I love browsing the thrift stores for treasures, but I don’t get to do that everyday.

I love my money making adventures with ebay, Etsy, and Craigslist, but I don’t get to do that everyday.

I love couponing.

I love being a mommy and I get to do that everyday!!!

So I think that the direction of this blog is not so clear, but rather a blend of these many parts of my life. I don’t want to narrow it to only part of what I do and struggle to even write a post. I hope that you understand and believe that some of you may have even been through the same thing.

Summer is coming and we are going to be busy so I want this blogging to be fun and about the things that I love. So I can’t wait to share with you a variety of things I hope you will find interesting.

Today was a couponing (and mommying) day! I always take Bean to the store with me…..Bean is my little guy. We have called him Bean since I was pregnant and it still sticks to this day. Of course we use his name, but I think Bean will work for our purposes!…..

So we make our list of the sale items paired up with our coupons and off we go. I will continue to write more about how and what I do, but for now I just want to share a great holiday weekend/summer deal for you to enjoy the changing season.

Do you love berries?
