Work In Progress

You have now entered the construction zone known as my blog :)

I apologize for the lack of posts and pages - please keep checking back in as I'm working on getting all my pages published, and still finding deals! I promise it wont stay like this (kind of crazy) for much longer, about another day or so!

Thank you for being patient!

Welcome to Couponin' Mom!

Welcome to my blog, Couponin' Mom! 

I am a young, (mostly) stay at home mom of 2, a sweet baby girl (Little Miss) and rambunctious little boy (Monster Man). I work part time as a nanny for a wonderful family. I love to cook, be a mom, a friend and a wife. Nothing pleases me more than time with my family. I love to read, be outdoors, camp and eat (goes with the cooking :) ). I'm a Twilight Fan and an even bigger Vampire Academy fan. I love mystery books, cook books, romance novels, young adult books and reading Dr Seuss to Monster Man & Little Miss. I am addicted to cook books/magazines (LOVE Rachel Ray), cute clothes (and shoes!) & couponing. I'm also learning to live a simpler life - less possessions, more memories!

I have been couponing for a couple months following other blogs and have been getting more and more extreme (although I don't clear the shelves!) I'm working on my families stock pile and still buying our normal weekly groceries for $50/wk. We are a brand picky family, which means it can be hard to do the shopping, and some times we go with out. If its not on sale or I don't have a coupon for it, we no longer buy it - the exception to this is fresh fruits & veggies (and pet food but I'll get to that later). The more I save on groceries, the more fresh things I can buy, and with how I love to cook and how Monster Man likes to eat, fresh fruits and veggies are a necessity! 

I started this blog track my progress as a couponer, show how I'm saving my family of 7 (4 people and 3 pets!) money, to share deals and teach others how to stretch their budget! Join me on my money-saving, life simplifying journey!
