How did you start blogging?

I stumbled upon blogging last summer when I got very involved in coupon clipping and saving money. We were just looking for more ways to shave the budget and I found a lot of useful blogs. Then I found so many other fun blogs that mine has really turned into a variety blog instead of just great deals.

Tell us about your parenting philosophy:

My parenting philosophy is to give my children unconditional love and the tools to make good choices throughout their lives. I want them to have morals and values and it is our job to teach them that.

You will never find me without......my lip product supply (gloss, lip protectant, etc.) and my glass of ice water.

Day job:

I am first and foremost a mom. On the side however, I enjoy taking photographs and editing photos in photoshop and I also sell Mary Kay (mainly because I LOVE the product and don't want to pay full price!!!! :o) )

Favorite Stuff:

Music: a huge variety of music; lately I enjoy anything with a fast pace to it so I can listen to it while I am working out.

Food: Unfortunately I enjoy way too many foods (hence working out more is needed) I have to have my coffee with creamer every day. I also enjoy pizza, anything italian really, chocolate.....man, I could go on and on.

Tv/movies: I am a huge reality show junkie.....Real Housewives of OC, American Idol, Biggest Loser, etc.

Reading: I am not a huge reader just b/c I don't seem to have the time but I do enjoy Danielle Steel's books

If you had to wear a T-shirt with your favorite saying what would it say?

Lately, my t-shirt would say: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!!!

Favorite spots to shop?

I love to shop at Target and Old Navy. I love to shop period....but those are my favorite stores.
