Finding harmony in family, finance & military life

Cleaning up the kitchen today Justice came running in dressed as Batman's sidekick Robin "Mom I am going to play super hero". So cute! I helped my little super hero finish putting on his costume. Then he was off not to fight crime but to read a book in his bed for quiet time. Later I got to read with him enjoying one of those rare one on one moments. It was so nice. Brent was promoted yesterday. He had the entire family get up on stage with him! We all got to punch him in the arm right on that new stripe. Even Kady gave him a good punch with that sweet baby fist. She had the Colonel cracking up as she danced across the stage holding my hand as we made our way to daddy's side. It was wonderful and I am so proud of him. I have been enjoying all of the hilarious faces Kadynce has been making. Her personality is really shining through and she is so much fun. Her favorite thing to say is "Your so funny!" Laughing as she says it. She is the silliest child we h...

I was introduced to the Couponizer by another shopper at the Commissary on base. She was easily flipping through it as she walked down the isle grabbing what she needed, checking it off her list and moving the coupon over to the check out spot with ease. I was trying my best to sort through an envelope full of loose coupons that kept dropping to the floor as I tried to find the right one since at that point I was leaving my other coupon sorter at home. I walked right up to her and asked her where she got it, I loved the size and the style was perfect. That was the beginning of my Couponizer journey and I have loved it ever since. It is an excellent tool for the busy coupon mom. Not only does it come with it's own handy little storage bag containing scissors and a organizer mat it also fits in my purse with no problem. I shop with small children so the size was very important to me. Trying to hold on to a big binder and my Houdini's trying to climb out of the cart was going to...
