Wow, can you believe it is already time to shop for Christmas!! It is absolutely crazy how the shops have been decorated since October! I am one that does not like to be caught up in the crowded malls rushing around for the perfect gift. So, I actually make my list throughout the year and every time one of my children mentions something they would like or just can’t live without.

I love sharing good news and wanted to share the latest with you. In the next couple of days I will be launching my new site called Dr. Mommy Says. If you go there now you will see my Pre-launch message along with the opportunity to sign up for my newsletter.
I am very excited because I will be incorporating all my sites into this one and will be sharing organizing tips, homeschooling tips, recipes and so much more. But the best part is the Celebration that is coming with the new launch!
I had to share with you my first CVS adventure. Now, I’ve been to CVS in the past but never on a mission like I was today. Today I was determined to use my coupons wisely and accumulate Extra Bucks!
My first task was determining what I wanted to purchase and if I truly needed it. I didn’t want to just purchase it because I had a coupon, I truly wanted to either stockpile or use it now. So, I pulled out my CVS circular from the Sunday paper and went to work. After several hours, I realized I needed help. I logged into my account on The Grocery Game, which is fantastic! If you are not aware of The Grocery Game, you must check it out. It is a great way to save money and she actually supplies a list with items to purchase with coupons and savings. It is a definite time saver.
Many of you may know that I home school my children and one of the most important lessons that they are learning is how to save money. With today’s economy it is wise to save money and it can be done several ways. One of the ways I have taught my children is by clipping coupons. We love getting the Sunday paper and sit in my office together and clip coupons. I have taught them how to categorize them too.
