Living better, spending less.
I am really upset with myself for neglecting this blog. I know WHY it’s happening but I can’t quite figure out how to fix the problem. My daughter stopped napping, and it has thrown my schedule out the window. By the time she goes to bed, I have to do everything–including shopping preparation, paperwork, etc–that I used to do during nap time and I am usually tired by then. Also, my husband now has primary bedtime duty, which is fantastic, but it used to take me 30-60 minutes of sitting on the couch with her and the laptop before she would go to sleep. That was when I did all my deal blog reading and some of my shopping preparation. Anyway, it’s difficult. If anyone has thoughts on how to squeeze in extra time during the day I’m all ears. Two-year-olds keep you busy, it seems.
I know, everyone hates a blogger that apologizes for not blogging. :)
Another confession? I haven’t even been (coupon) shopping once this week. Terrible!
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
