I'm new here!

Hi! My name is Traci. I am happily a SAHM of 3 kiddos. I have two 10 year old boys (more on that to come!), and a 2 year old daughter. My husband and I have been married for 16 years. Sometimes it feels like we just got married yesterday, and other times it feels like "forever-ago", KWIM? We have moved several times because of job changes/transfers, and right now we live in a small, conservative, south central Kansas town. We have no idea if the Lord will have us here 10 years or 2 years, but I'd kinda like to keep my feet on the ground for awhile, Lord willing.

This is my first ever attempt at a blog. I may be new to blogging, but I have been going down the frugal road for about 25 years. I am only 38, and yes, that means I have been scouting out the deals since I was 13!! (seriously!!!)
I am one of those crazy people that love to search out the best deal. I have been a coupon shopper since before I was married. Long before the days of the internet I was combing through couponing and refunding magazines and newsletters looking to trade my upc's or my scavanged ciggy miles for envelopes of coupons from my wish list. I hope that through this blog you can catch some of my excitement and enthusiasm for the simple, frugal lifestyle that I live by choice.

I'm off to learn more about blogging.....see ya in a day or so!

Hi Traci! I'm happy to see that you have started a blog (I saw it over at FV). I'm guessing I can learn a lot from you!
