Bargains...

Here's my first entro to my lovely new blog! I love blogging, I love shopping and another love...I love shopping for free!! All of my friends and family know that. I spend lots of time during the week trying to find the good bargains out there and they pay off big time.

I am also the mother to a 3 year, very active little boy. We're 90% potty trained. We have the #1 down, but #2 is a different story. Anyone have this problem? It's probably been our main focus for weeks now because we have no idea how to get him to poo on the potty. It's seriously driven me to drink! LOL We've tried bribery, celebrating all 3 times he's done it, taking things away, time out when he poops in his undies, making him sit on the potty for a long period of time....everything!! Finally we've come to the conclusion that he'll just do it in his own time, but WHEN!??!!? I've stepped in in, had a poop trail when he pooped in the living room, had him try to put it in the toilet from his undies...oh Lord any scenario you can think of...it's happened. Anyway...that's our current situation.

I've got a great family and great group of friends that I really don't think I could do without. They all help keep me from losing my marbles and most importantly, they are all frugal like me so we usually end up doing things that cost little to no money. We have a wonderful weekly card night that beats any club any day of the week! We have loads of fun and have a great time.

My husband of 10 years is a great father to our son. He spends a great deal of time with him, doesn't mind taking care of him when he's not working, and never tries to infringe on my much needed "ME" time. Currently we're taking a downturn due to this economy, but we're trying our hardest to make the best of a lousy situation. My life can be pretty stressful, but I am very thankful for all the good in our lives.
