Well its been a while since I blogged. Again I can't get off this idea that there is no interest in my blog unless I have pictures up. I guess that is one of the reasons why Facebook must be so popular- you can just drop one liners and that is completely acceptable.
Work is work- a wonderful place for me. And I know that at least 90% of adults working out there cannot say that about their workplace including my own husband.
Its been a little challenging recently because my husband has been working long, and sometimes odd hours. There was a time where literally I felt like I didn't see my husband all last week.
Although it has been a trial, I am however thankful that at least my husband gets compensated for his hard work.
With a little extra time to myself recently, I've picked up a new hobby: coupon deal shopping.
You are going to laugh but www.moneysavingmom.com and www.dealseekingmom.com has become two of my new favorite sites. I think I check up on these websites more than I do facebook now. Through these blogs I have been able to save around 60% of my normal toiletries and grocery shopping. Its pretty amazing actually- and I don't know why i didn't do this before.
I figured since my husband works so hard I really need to find new ways in order to be more frugal especially during these times, and surprisingly this process of seeking deals along with coupons has been fun. I think its the process of seeing your purchase of $40 something reduce to a mere $15 infront of your eyes is what makes it fun for me.
This way I get to use the saved money towards something that I really want- like fun activites and such.
I've also been painting and reading- and I've forgotten how much I missed those two activities. Somewhere between high school and after college I have forgotten about these two hobbies but now I relish at the idea of getting my chores done so I could concentrate on these more.
I do miss college, but I do like the idea of having more time to pursue my own interest and study. Next thing I really want to pick up is sewing. I've been meaning to since high school but with the cost of classes along with time restraint has been a challenge. Hopefully the next time I blog- it will be about that specific skill.
