Introduction.

My name is Kristina. I have a rather large family My husband and I have ben married for 10 years. We have four beautiful children. (I know I may be biased)We married right out of highschool and have had our ups and downs. In 2005 our son was having medical issues and I was pregnant with our third child. I was having to miss a lot of work and we were begining to realize that paying for our kids to be in day care a decent center was going to cost more then I was making in week. Which meant I would be quitting my job as soon as Corina was born. We continued to go through medical problems then after Corina came a whole new set of issues were put on our plate. I wondered how we would make it. Sometimes thought we did not stand a chance. We struggled with money often not having enough. Thats where couponing came in.Not only for groceries. Now everything we do has a budget. I try tp give my children all of the opportunities theior friends have without going into debt. I just have to do it a different way. I spend hours trying to find deals. Juggling money around trying to find free or inexpensive things to do with our kids. For awhile I thought I was failing at it but this Christmas my broyther in laws girlfrined gave me a memory frame whichmeant more to me then she could possibly know. Seeing my kids eyes light up at all the places we have gone in the past year was amazing. It inspired me to write this blog. A few of my close frineds have been asking me tips I figured this was the best way to do it.

IN this blog I will post amazing coupon deals,once a month cooking ideas,free/inexpensive family fun and other randomn money saving tips. There are a fewnew blogs I am going to be following to try and save for a vacation. More dteails to come later on that. I will post my progress though.
