You know they say that the love of a parent is the deepest love of all.  The events of my life, in the past few years, had led me to wonder about that.  I doubted if it was possible to love your children as you SAY you do.  I wondered how it is that our [...]

Yes, Ky is now sporting a bit of a pixie look.  I was honestly ready to cut her hair anyhow but she hastened the process when she took two huge CHUNKS out of it herself with the surgical scissors from her bedroom drawer…  Why? One might ask, does one keep surgical scissors in a 3 [...]

Yes…. the first snow of the season!!!  It came EARLY this year!  Normally, its well into January before we see any kind of accumulation.  The kids were, of course, elated and DYING to go outside.  We obliged since it was 30 something (thus their poorly dressed status!)….

Yes, right up there with toothpaste and shampoo for me is Magazines.  I had NEVER had the luxury of having magazines around the house except the free ones the companies give you when you are pregnant, UNTIL I started couponing!  NOW…. my bathroom racks overflow!  I can remember my friend Ali, saying “You PAY for [...]

Yes, it took a little, shall we say, debate, but Santa Claus WAS able to attend Owen’s school Christmas (I mean… “HOLIDAY”) party!!!  Owen was so excited he could have peed himself.  I don’t think he was as surprised as he was EXCITED..

My mother is the queen of Thrift shops!  Her new motto- why shop anywhere else?!!  Since she has the time, she frequents several of these and MOST of our Christmas gifts came from there.  MOST of those gifts were NEW IN THEIR PACKAGES.  She even got me a massaging chair pad for my computer chair [...]

Today, the first Sunday of January is the single biggest coupon edition of the paper that will occur in the year 2010!!!  You do NOT want to miss it!  I assure you!  Now, for those of you in Lexington, the big hitch here is that the Lexington Herald Leader notriously SUCKS for coupons.  We always [...]
