The Krazy Coupon Lady

My sister's sister in law is one of the Krazy Coupon ladies who wrote the book, "Pick Another Checkout Lane Honey". So I'm starting to learn all about coupons and trying it out. The whole concept is trying to stock up on items you use when they go on sale in the store but also using coupons to lower the price. I know of people getting paid to shop because they get most of the items free! I haven't done much with it lately, but I'm starting to print coupons and getting organized. I figure I can just focus on getting cheap diapers if anything! You can go to the website at http://thekrazycouponlady.com/ . It's really fun to see how easy it can be to save money. This is an invisable button from the website. It takes you to a jack pot of coupons you can print! Have fun!

Stuck in LIfe?

What do you do when you get stuck in life? This is what McKenzie did! She's able to scoot backward on hard wood floors and I left the room long enough for her to wiggle herself between the fridge and the pantry. Maybe she wanted to get the broom? But the face is priceless! I guess when you're a baby getting frustrated learning to crawl, getting stuck is all you need to ruin your day.

My Family at the Ranch

Grandma Bagley is my hero! I admire her so much for the way she treats others and for her ambitious character. I loved coming to her house when I was a kid. There are some things I hang on to from my childhood, and Grandma's ranch is a big part of it. So having pictures of my husband and daughter around the ranch are priceless. Thank you Sara for taking such great pictures while I was sleeping! This picture in particular tugs at my heart because I remember climbing that tree in the background, which we all called the Willow, and talking with my cousins about being a mom and what we would do with our lives. We have our names etched in there and I couldn't count the hours we spent playing in that old tree. I love thinking that I brought another generation to this wonderful place where they could see and experience the things I did that I believe helped shape my character for the better.
