"Extreme couponing. What every first-timer should know."


It’s easy to see the appeal of extreme couponing. Saving money is something we all strive for each and every day. Strategically comparing sales ads and combining coupons can potentially keep your household in groceries, personal care items, baby items, and even pet food for a small amount of money. Because the couponing process can seem a bit overwhelming at first, here’s what you should know as a first-timer.   Strategically comparing sales ads and combining coupons can potentially keep your household in groceries, personal care items, baby items, and even pet food for a small amount of money.

"Kids gone? Convert your kid-friendly garden to an adult-oriented retreat."


When you have small children, the backyard and garden are essential space for them to be free to run around and play. The lawn can get torn up from all those soccer games and ride-on toys. The plants have been squashed and all things thorny (beautiful as they can be) removed for safety. All those summers with the trampoline or pool out there resulted in having no space to enjoy the things you enjoy doing in the garden.   The lawn can get torn up from all those soccer games and ride-on toys.

5 ways to find out more about your ancestors.


You would think, since we live in a digital age, we would be more in touch with exactly who we are and where our families came from.
