New Coupon Site To Share!


I came across a coupon site that I thought was really good and figured I would pass on the information here for anyone interested. Shopping these days is tougher on everyone it seems, so checking for any good deals before spending those hard earned bucks is really becoming an important thing in our house.

It really just takes a few minutes to check for discount code deals and bargain shopping promotions for so many different stores on this coupon site, which I think I like the most about it. They have a list of stores available,and all you have to do is click on any one of them and see what deals/coupons are available.

There is also a search option where you can just type in what type of item or store you are looking for, and get a quick listing for stores offering deals and coupons. I tried the search for flowers, and found some great deals--like 15% off my order! Yea!

I am an impulse buyer, for sure. But I am trying hard to change my bad shopping ways, lol, and so lists and coupons are becoming my thing these days. From shopping for our pet supplies to toys for our kids birthdays, and their friends' birthdays, I am trying to be a more savvy shopper.

So I will be bookmarking this coupon site--just have to make sure I discipline myself to use it!

Check it out and see what you think!

I Should be Working, but sometimes shopping happens!


Yep. I have been shopping more than working lately. My bad. Next week I will do better. But the last day or two I have been distracted by my son's upcoming birthday. My baby is turning 4! Bah. Time just flies so fast with kids, and it really can pull on my heart strings (some days more than others) to see them grow and change. Independence is a good thing, I know, but it still makes me sigh when my almost 4 year old needs mommy time less and less. But the good thing here is that it does make those hugs and "I love you's" even more special when I do get them from my oh so grown up little guy!
Anyway, with his birthday coming up, I have been trying to decide what to get him. I had the idea redoing his bedroom--new bed, new furniture, wallpaper border, etc. And since his most favorite things right now are 'everything construction', that's the theme I've decided on.
So I have been browsing and shopping for furniture for his bedroom the last couple of days when I should be working. Ack. I am enjoying this "redo" though, I have to admit. And I think my little guy will love the end result.
My favorite site for doing shopping is by far Shopping.com. I can find so many choices all in one place online, compare prices and read reviews. It makes it so easy and fun to shop. I found a great bed I think I will order, and am checking out some toy boxes ( construction related, of course!) and maybe a small table and chair as well.
I am pretty sure his room will look cute when done, and my birthday boy will be delighted, hopefully, but I still miss the days when I was shopping for winnie the pooh items and his crib!

Holiday Jobs


Well, it's hard to ignore the fact that the Holiday season is upon us. And that means shopping. Which, of course, requires money. Now, I know my blog is all about working from home, but I decided that it would be ok to take exception just this time and post some information for holiday jobs outside of the home. Money is always tight around here, but no more so than at Christmas time! I have thought about getting a seasonal part time job to help out with Christmas shopping, and I figured others may be thinking about doing the same. So, I am posting a link to a jobsite that offers good tips for seasonal jobs and how to find them. Ho Ho Ho!! Snag a Job
