I have been on a much-needed blog hiatus for the past several months, as our family life took a few twists and turns. Homeschooling, remodeling, trying to unpack boxes and organize, plus keeping everyone in clean socks and underwear has been a bit of a challenge. With sunny weather, my energy levels seem to have spiked and our schedule is slowly normalizing even though I seem to be juggling more than ever. I hope to keep this blog updated more regularly, and will be trying to post more practical lifestyle tips rather than just duplicating the DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO GET 10 FREE DEODORANTS TODAY deals that are already abundant on the web. I shop to live, not live to shop, so this blog will reflect my minimalist approach with regard to grocery store trips. Hope you are able to learn a few things, and please share your ideas as well.
