Well I haven't been really doing a good job keeping up with my blog so I guess I will just update my life away. Things have been going good I told myself the beginning of this year that I would really try new things this year and really try to master it.
1.Couponing-
This was something I really wanted to learn how to do and since no one was willing to help a sister out and teach me how. I went out and researched everything out for myself read blogs,looked at sites and even set up a instagram for my couponing. Yes it was that serious!!. I didn't really get started till late April but let me tell you I am so happy that I started. I started with 4 papers and then I went to 10 papers and now I sometimes coupon 20-30 papers which is a lot. I am amazed that I can keep up with it but I now know to only coupon things I need. It's very addicting but it's something I am so happy that I am finally mastering. I am excited that with my stockpile I am able to help my family and friends. I also drag my husband with me and our date nights have turned into coupon night I'm so bad.. I am finally finding balance in couponing I'm totally trying not to be hoarder but it's so hard lol. One thing I am so grateful for now is that I know the value of a $1 yes 1 dollar.
I would be the type of person to just buy stuff if it was on clearance just because it was cheap sometimes it was bad quality but now I am just amazed at how much I can buy with 1 dollar. If you have never couponed let me tell you.. You can get a lot for a $1 and most of the time FREE oh and sometimes they pay you to take things home yup **CASHING OUT**!!. Here are some of the pix of my couponing journey!!...
One of my first hauls lol.. I think I paid $7 lol never again!!

One of my more recent hauls... ALL FREE paid only tax
This was one of my favorite hauls we loaded on meats and all the things we needed and what we had coupons for and we paid $0.15 for everything in my cart and that was including tax :)
This is my most recent haul paid only tax had many items with overages that paid for other stuff in my cart. Yeah my hauls are starting to get bigger and bigger.. I told you I'm addicted!.
I don't have pix of everything I've couponed but some of my favorite things I coupon for is makeup and nail polish you just wouldn't know since I hardly wear it but it's one of the things I love about couponing. Also one of the reasons I started was to help my grandpa living in Tonga. I am getting ready to send his box soon. Then I will start again fresh just for myself again. It's seriously so nice that when I run out of something I can just grab more from my stockpile and that I am able to try different products that I would have never been able to try before couponing. I love couponing and It's something I probably will never stop doing. So that's my Coupon Journey!!
Well the 2nd thing I really need to hurry up and master is of course
2.
LOSING THIS UNWANTED FAT!.
Yes once again this is on my list. This is something I will be working hard on I know that the year is already almost done but it's never too late to get healthy. I have been couponing so much unhealthy things so that really isn't helping. So it's time to be serious about getting healthy again. I know I can do it I just need to be serious about it so hopefully I will have pix up of this new journey. I'm really thinking of getting a personal trainer to help me get started but I will figure that all out soon. I am excited :) I know this is do-able.. Just need to train my mind lol... Well 1 thing on my list of goals is already mastered just need to master this and I will for sure be WINNING!!
Well this is just the longest blog I've ever blogged... Life has been good Mosi and I will officially both be back in school starting next month starting a new program with BYU Idaho this will be his 2nd semester I am so proud of him and we really have been trying our best to practice provident living. We even took back my nice car for a bucket so we can save and fix up our credit. The interest rate on my Chrysler was crazy high because my credit was so bad. People may look at us and say dang they are taking a few steps back. But really I finally come to this realization
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ALL THINK" lol. Sometimes we all get wrapped up in worldly things that we forget what really is important. I really don't need much I am just happy when those that matter most to me are happy.
"We may not have it all together,but together we have it all."
So with that being said....
No matter what is going on in my life I am
"ENJOYING THE JOURNEY"
