Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • Squee!  Adorable!

  • I wanted to give out good prizes at Shannon G’s baby shower while staying on a budget.  Most baby shower planning sites said just go to the Dollar Store and grab some things and throw them in a bag.  I don’t want stuff from the Dollar Store (unless I need something specific) so why would…

  • Catalogs are starting to appear in my mail box selling gorgeous outdoor furniture collections.  Pricey, upholstered furniture.  I don’t understand this.  I don’t know where you have to live to be able to use this furniture.  Where I live, in North Carolina, we have things like : rain, pollen, dirt, bugs, and the fading powers…

  • Our 10th anniversary is in just a couple weeks.  The other night I was trying to get to sleep and was unsuccessful.  So I thought I’d go online via my iPhone and see if IKEA had any new products in stock.  My eyes were finally starting to droop when I spotted the coolest gift for…

  • Being on a budget is no fun.  So to get my shopping fix without actually spending any money, I shop online at places full of wonderful things I have no business buying.  I place these items in my cart and when I’m satisfied I close the window.  One of my favorite places to window shop…

  • Last night I attended a focus group.  I love focus groups.  You go for a couple hours and chat it up about what you do or don’t like about a product or products and they give you swag and some cash!  Win win!  Last night’s focus group was for a local paper products company called…

  • So, you know those Valentine’s I told you about for 10 cents each?  Well, while CSP helped me wrangle the pugs (green beans for treats helped!) we had a little Valentine’s photo shoot.  Then I chose the best shot, uploaded it to See Here and ordered my free cards.  I chose the 2 day shipping…

  • Saw this deal on my Couponing to Disney email.  Went to the original blog and checked it out.  SUPER CUTE.  Then had a Valentine photo session of my own with the pugs.  They don’t have fists and we don’t send candy out with our Valentines but I think ours turned out just as cute.  And…

  • I recently signed up to receive email updates from Couponing to Disney.  I don’t coupon but I like a lot of her tips and freebies.  CSP isn’t big on coupons (and he’s a grocery store manager!) and we do the bulk of our shopping at Aldi where everything is private label so they don’t take…
