2010 Blogging Goals...

I've decided to join Savvy Blogging and share my blogging goals for 2010. As I am just restarting this site, I feel that it is important to start strong and have clearly defined goals. I heard it said once, "if you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time." How true!
1. Post at least 4 times per week. Hopefully it will be more, but I know how crazy school gets for me in the spring.
2. Get 25 "Followers".
3. Get more immersed in the blogging community. What a GREAT group of women (and I'm sure some guys too!!) looking to help others!
4. Write a Series.

So, that's that.
Head on over to Savvy Blogging to join in to share your goals.

SUPER Personalized Stationary Deal...

Here's an awesome deal from Expressionary. They have a great Clearance section with mostly Christmas stuff...however, there is some super cute every day stuff too! From now until January 12, 2010, you can use the code "MADNESS" to get an additional 70% off your order! They are also not charging shipping right now, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Here's what I got:

ORDER SUMMARY Items may ship separately and arrive on separate days.
			Item: Holiday Decor Address Labels Qty/Price: 1 Set (144 labels) Shipping: Non-Trackable (10-12 business days) $0.00
			Item: Chester Sweet Pea Small Memo Pads Qty/Price: 1 set of 2 pads Shipping: Trackable (8-10 business days) $0.00
			Item: Chester Everlasting Square Labels Qty/Price: 1 Set of 80 Shipping: Non-Trackable (10-12 business days) $0.00
			Item: AKH Holiday Icons Square Labels Qty/Price: 1 Set of 80 Shipping: Non-Trackable (10-12 business days) $0.00
Subtotal: $15.96 Postage: $0.00 Shipping: $0.00 Sales Tax: $1.12 (Taxes are calculated based on delivery address of items.) TOTAL: $17.08

That's 144 Address Labels, 2-100 page notepats, one set of 80 Christmas labels, and one set of 80 everyday labels. ALL PERSONALIZED!!!! I used the everyday labels for some "From the Kitchen of" labels.

It's really worth it even if you only order return address labels for this year's Christmas cards...I know, I know...who is already thinking about Christmas cards??!!

Thanks to Moms By Heart for this great find!!

Rumor has it...

Updated:
My Target was only 75% off today. Oh well! I will say that they had NOTHING left. Oh well!!

Original Post:
...that Target's Christmas items will go on 90% today. The boys and I will be going after Sunday School, so I can't know for sure until then. Just wanted to give you the "heads up."

Also, I'll be hooking you up on an AWESOME stationary deal later this afternoon, but for now, I've gotta go get myself and 2 little boys ready for church. :)

I'm Back in 2010!!

Well, here we go again! I have decided to revamp this site for 2010. Here's the first fabulous nugget I've found for this year...it's a free savings spreadsheet. It's super user friendly to help you track your yearly grocery savings. Thanks so much to The Coupon Project for this little gem!

Freebies by mail...

Yes, I'm still here!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been so caught up in playing with my boys while we're out of school for the summer! Here's something to show all of my favorite bargain lovers...I got all of this stuff free in the mail last week!! How fun is that!!! You gotta love freebies!!!! (And yes, you do see a free condom there...you do what ya gotta do!!!)

School's almost out...

Please accept my apologies for the lack of blogging!! There are only 2 more weeks of school, and then you will see the blogging dramatically increase...it's just too much for my brain right now!! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here and bargaining things up. I also wanted to remind you about Revolution Money Exchange. You only have 8 more days to sign up and get $25 free!! If you choose to sign up, please use the button on the right side of my page. You will definitely want to have an account this summer, because I'll be opening a "Blog Shop," and it will accept payments through Revolution Money Exchange. I can't give you any more details about my shop, you'll just have to wait and see!!!
