New year, new blog

Let me start by saying this... For those that read Crazy Savers, that was an obsessive part of my life. (Maybe one day I'll be able to explain my tendency toward obsession, but today is not that day.) I love saving and earning money. I'm still a couponer, I still do online surveys, and of course I still enjoy getting things free. However, that's not all my life is about. That would not be healthy. Because of that, I've begun this new blog that will include more than just momentary obsessions. Here's to a new year and a fresh start.


This year has been off to an insane start. After not even a full week of classes, we were hit with a pretty fantastic snowstorm. This kept the kids out of school all week, and teachers in my district had delayed workdays Thursday and Friday. It was beautiful to say the least.

my snow angel on a bank beside Camelot... darn leaves...

our porch and the surrounding area, covered in powder... I love the snow-cone shapes on the trail lights by the porch

my feet got lost in all the snow.

our house and yard

hydrant

squintyfaced--it's so bright with all this white around

a house down the street has a palm tree... which, like everything else, was covered

just looked interesting under a sheet of ice

I love how our picnic table looks beneath snow.
