My Kingdom by Louisa May Alcott A little kingdom I possess, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find Of governing it well. For passion tempts and troubles me, A wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my words and deeds. How can I learn to rule myself, … Read more
One of the best ways that coupons save you money is using them on clearance items. I have had the most success with this method at Target. For example, one of Target’s coupons last week was $1 off 11-oz. or larger M&Ms candies. Target sold some pink and white M&Ms for Breast Cancer Awareness month … Read more
So far in my limited experience as a coupon clipper, I’ve found that online coupons offer great savings.

Last week my husband got us a nice leather office chair at a surplus sale for $2!! We’ve found tons of great stuff for practically nothing at college/university surplus sales. I think most schools have these sales to get rid of their outdated stuff, especially electronics and technology type items. We got a nice computer … Read more
This is one of my all-time favorites. I love how the pages have holes where the caterpillar has eaten through and also how the pages start out really narrow on Monday and get wider and wider the more the caterpillar eats. The illustrations are also excellent. I think this book should be in all home … Read more
I’ve tried to get more organized lately, a never-ending task. It is a slow process, for sure. One thing that I really want to do better at is keeping the house cleaner from day to day, a goal that I’m sure I share with many fellow mothers. In the past, I haven’t been so good … Read more
