Love your life.....now!

Recently while reading another blog I had somewhat of an awaking...it talked about enjoying the now and not always trying to base your happiness in terms of the future. I will be happy when I find my dream house, dream guy, finish my degree or land that dream job! I have to admit that I have been guilty of this. I think I kind of lived with this mindset, constantly focusing on future goals and thinking that happiness will be found within these goals. Going through divorce, nearly losing my son when he got really sick, moving, changing career paths, my other son being diagnosed with Autism and going back to school have all been eventa in my life that have occured in the past year. I realized that life is short and not everyday is a guarantee so I have made a the choice to live in the now and be happy and content today, not tomorrow because we have no idea what that day will bring, but just appreciate the moment. I feel like I have gone through hell and back so just having some calmness, spending time with my kids, writing, working on my shop, my blog and website have all brought me so much joy. Happiness can't be bought or sold, it comes from being content amd happy where you are right now and making time to do the things you enjoy. For me it's writing, creating and helping orhers. With Thanksgiving coming up I am trying to focus on what I love, not on what I've lost. Hope you can find a way everyday to find some peace, calm and contentment. Make time to take a step back and enjoy the little things. Just having a cup of coffee and reading a magazine or listening to my boys play bring me happiness and peace. Try to embrace these little moments.

Extreme Couponing: Secrets

For those of you who watch the show Extreme Couponing you may be left with many questions. This show really is an extreme version of couponing. Just like reality T.V a lot of it is simply for the "wow" factor. You can coupon in this way but it's not without a cost. Let me explain. Remember Desiree? She said she spends 60 hours a week on couponing. This really isn't realistic for most of us to dedicate that much time to couponing. My advice is start small. Like for example, what does your household use the most of? Do you go through tons of laundry soap? Make that your focus at first. Start by finding laundry soap coupons and matching them with sales. I like to wait for BOGO sales @ stores where you can use (2) coupons for BOGO transactions. Here's an example... This week @ CVS Wisk laundry soap is on sale BOGO. I'm not sure the normal retail price @ CVS but let's say it's $5.99. I have (2) $2.00 off coupons that I use on (2) BOGO sale 2/$5.99= $5
