I have decided to give up french fries for Lent. I am a french fry addict. I admit it. So this is going to be very tough for me. I will eat fries over anything else. I especially love them dipped in a Wendy's Frostie. Mmmmmm...
Hopefully, the next 40 days will help with my addiction. I have needed to break this ugly addiction for a long time, so this is the best way to help keep me accountable. Wish me luck!!!

Clipping Coupons
Growing up, we never used coupons. My mom thought it was a waste of time. I would pour over the coupons telling Mom to get this and that. Even back then, I wanted to get a deal. To this day, my mom still won't use coupons. Amazing...
Well, a friend turned me onto The Grocery Game (thanks Marisa) and I am hooked. I signed up for the $1 trial period on February 8th and I have saved $89.97 (to be exact) so far. Imagine what my total will be at the one year mark... Now I know clipping coupons isn't for everyone, but I can tell you it is sooooo worth it. The Grocery Game makes it much easier. We now have plenty of food on hand at all times and more money in our wallets.
I highly recommend The Grocery Game to everyone. Especially in this economy.

Valentine's Day memory
When Abby and I were younger, our mom would send us HUGE balloon bouquets to school with candy. We were the envy of our classes. This went on for years and it was always a great surprise. I wonder if there are any photos floating around of one of those balloon bouquets.
Now, I just don't think that I have to buy my husband a gift or that he has to send me flowers just because it is Valentine's Day. It isn't worth the money. Plus, if I want anything I will wait until the day after and get it at 50% off. If it is meant to be, what I wanted will be in the bargain bin.
I know that when we have our own children, Valentine's Day will be just like it was when I was little. A sweet reminder of the love our family has for each other. Until then, Hallmark can keep their holiday.
