Welcome to my blog! I decided to start blogging after my pastor said we should all use whatever our special talents are to help people and glorify God. Since I have been a stay-at-home mom, I have learned a lot about saving money, and through my blog I would like to pass that knowledge on to you. This blog is going to be a hodgepodge of Bible passages, information on money saving such as coupons and sales, and information on free sample offers. I pray that my blog will offer help to many.
