I have started using coupons in the last 6 months or so and it really has saved our family hundreds and probably thousands of dollars. I get excited when I get a good deal and coupons are the way to go to get a lot of them. The only thing better then a good deal […]

My visit to the Atlanta Community Food Bank
My three little ones snacked on juice and cookies while learning about helping others. I had the opportunity today to visit the Atlanta Community Food Bank along with my children. We were invited to witness the amazing donation by Kimberly-Clark of 200,000 Huggies diapers. Wow! Did you know 1 in 3 American mothers struggle to provide […]
Mocha Moms rocked Las Vegas
Last week I was in lovely Las Vegas enduring the 100+ degree temperatures (but it’s a “dry heat”…yeah right) to hang out at the Mocha Moms Inc national conference. Mocha Moms Inc is a national non-profit support organization for stay-at-home moms of color (though probably half of all members work for pay in some capacity). I’ve been […]

Monday night is “Under the sea” family night at Chick Fil A Vinings
I LOVE family night at Chick Fil A! The Vinings CFA is my favorite because they have a great playground and especially nice employees. All kids get a free kids meal and free ice cream. It’s especially great for families like mine who’s kids outnumber adults. Be sure to go early as it gets crowded. […]

Winnie the Pooh is a must see
Thanks to my “ranking” on Klout.com, I was invited to an advance screening of the Disney movie, Winnie the Pooh at Atlantic Station’s Regal Theater. My 4 and 2 year olds joined me and I’m so glad they did. Winnie the Pooh is the PERFECT movie for the younger set. It is only an hour […]
This is what my family will do for free Chick Fil A
Donning homemade cow costumes (Mickey Mouse ears look like cow ears, right?), my 3 little ones helped us get a nice night out at our favorite Chick Fil A in Vinings. I love discounts and coupons and a free Friday night dinner was not something I was going to pass up. Plus, the kids had […]
The Gaylord Palms Resort is a great family-friendly destination in Orlando
My family and I stayed at the Gaylord Palms resort in Orlando over Father’s Day weekend. It was so nice! We had connecting rooms which is more expensive of course but for a family of 5, it’s almost necessary now. We planned to do a lot of things around Orlando as well as visit family […]
Let’s do this thing
I’m a blogger, in case you didn’t notice. I have been writing for years but not really focusing or taking it seriously. But today that stops. I’ve seen the light and will move towards it. My fellow bloggers are doing amazing posts and they treat it like the job it has become for them. I […]
