Just Because It's Wednesday...

Often times we get comfortable with our love ones and without knowing it, we stop expressing our love and appreciation as much as we should. It's okay...we've all been guilty of this at some point.

Now that you've realized the issue, fix it ASAP.

You don't have to do anything drastic or expensive. After all, it's the little things that count and mean the most. One of my closest friends sent this to me a few years ago and it completely made my week!!

Here are some additional ideas:

• Make or purchase a card that shows your appreciation or simply tells them how much you love them
• Cook dinner. Listen intently to what happened in their day...that'll make a world of difference
• Purchase their favorite candy and place it where you know they'll find it. Be sure to include a cute note saying, "Since you make my day everyday, I'm hoping this will return the favor" or something to that affect
• Make a mixed CD with songs that describe how you feel. Put it in their car's CD player so that it'll begin playing when they get into the vehicle

Hopefully making someone else's day will help make yours :) Happy Hump Day!!

Extreme Couponing (The LC Edition)

Sooooo I know I'm not the only one who watched an episode of Extreme Couponing and thought the people on there had too much time on their hands. To constantly cut coupons, stalk weekly circulars for sales, and drive from store to store to find the best deals is as I say...."doing the most."

Guess what?!?! I found an easier way!! :)

There's a website called Southern Savers that does all the craziness for you! The website posts the latest and greatest deals for various stores. Under each post, there are printable coupons that corresponds to the item listed in the store's weekly circular.

In addition, Southern Savers posts deals offered by various online websites and businesses. It's a pretty neat tool if you don't have time to research money saving deals in your area. Happy saving :)

 

Free Breakfast!!

People who know me know I just LOVE A GOOD DEAL!! Whenever I come across great deals, I get the compulsion to share them with as many people as possible!! With that being said, I'll try my best to post money saving opportunities every chance I get.

Below are two links. The first one is for a free breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, and the second for Subway. You have to register and set up a scheduled time for both...Happy Tuesday! Enjoy!! :)

It's Monday!!!

Today is the first Monday of the new year! Chances are you didn't wake up excited this morning, because although it's the first Monday it's still the World Famous Oh So Dreaded Monday. You'll probably get to work, watch the clock, reminisce on how great this past weekend went, and wish it were the weekend again. No worries...I used to do the exact same thing. I lived for the weekends!!!

But then I started surrounding myself with amazing people who lived for everyday. We make it a point to make plans during the week that are fun enough to give us something to look forward to throughout the day. Being surrounded by loving, positive, optimistic people help make each day worth living. So I challenge you to do the same. Plan outings, dinner dates, game nights, etc. with the people you love to help you live for everyday...not just the weekend. It'll make your days that much brighter. After all, tomorrow isn't promised.

Happy Monday :)

It's 2012!!

It's 2012...if you're reading this get hype!! Congratulations!! Celebrate!! You made it through another year!! Now that you're done jumping up and down and throwing confetti, take a minute to reflect on the previous years...what made your "best year" the best?

Done thinking? Okay great! :)

Now I want you to set goals and come up with a legitimate plan that will help make 2012 your "best year ever!" It can be done...it's more than possible. You just have to have faith in Him, believe in yourself, and surround yourself with positive people. Don't let yourself get defeated. If something doesn't happen the way you planned it, take a different route. Never give up!!! After all...you have me in your corner, rooting for you. You can do it!!

Feel free to post the things you plan to accomplish below. Happy New Year!
