Hi! Thank you for stopping by my place for your first Ultimate Blog Party – I hope you are having a great time with it all.
Okay, you teach classes on couponing? Ummm when and how? I am trying to do more couponing – trying to save money where I can when I can… make a real effort in being better about it. Being a family of 7 – you can imagine the help shopping better or smarter would mean to me. Please find me at LiveLaughLoveCj at gmail dot com I’ll become a student 🙂
In the meantime, I’ll be following you for sure 🙂
Enjoy UBP10 – 🙂
Thanks for visiting my little blog. I was looking at your monthly totals. Impressive. Those are totals I aspire to. I will be adding you to my favorites. Oh and I love Starbucks.
Hopping through from the Ultimate Blog Party! You have a great looking blog for “just starting out”! Keep up the great work! I love your 5 item tithe idea too. Forgot to send out donation with Hubbie to church today… erk…
Take care!
