Getting Started

I am finally getting started! I have been trying to find time to sit down and get this blog up and running and I have finally found it!

Here is an idea of who I am and why I have decided to write a blog, or at least why I think people might care to hear what I have to say...

I am happily married to the love of my life, Matt.  We have been together now for almost eight years... which is roughly a third of our lives!  CRAZY, right?!  We started dating our Junior year of high school and all of college, got married and had a beautiful baby nearly seven months ago, Conner.  He is the light of my life.  I never truly understood a mother's love, but it is truly amazing!!!

LIFE  Finances can be tight with a new baby, so I have been trying to find creative ways to save money wherever possible.  I have recently delved into the couponing world to discover the amazing benefits that it can bring.  I have saved our family hundreds and hundreds of dollars doing this, and I want to share my experiences in hopes that it will help someone else!

LOVE I have a passion for many things, all of which I can never find time to do anymore since Conner has graced my life.  Now that Conner is becoming more independent, I am going to start and finish more projects: cooking, organizing, crafting, gardening, and sewing... to name a few!  I want to share all of these things with you, which will hopefully inspire you to be creative!

BEING A MOM  I love my child more than anything in the world... but there are days when I want to pull my hair out.  And on those days, I try to reach back in my brain and pull out those sweet moments, like when his face lights up when he sees me coming in the door or when he is drifting off to sleep and he caresses my face, just to make sure I am still there.  Those are the moments that I want to share: the good, the bad, and the ugly!  As a mom, it is always reassuring to hear someone else's story... it can make you feel less CRAZY!

So that is it... I want to share all of my experiences of Life, Love and Being a Mom!!!
