I'm Back

Sorry for the long hiatus on blogging. Tyler and I made it back from our mission trip to NYC and it was amazing! I enjoyed the opportunity of serving alongside my church family in the Big Apple. It truly was an experience I will never forget!

I'll be blogging later on with pictures and more details about our trip.

I just have to say between working 40 hours a week, and all of the other stuff going on in my life, I have put couponing on the back burner these past couple of weeks. I'm trying to get back in the normal routine but its been difficult. And you know, I don't even have kids, so I don't know how all of you moms out there do it! Major props to you!


Hope everyone had a great Monday! God bless!

Until the Whole World Hears.....

Its been 4 years since Tyler and I have been on a mission trip. For those of you that don't know our story-Tyler and I got to know each other during a mission trip to Alaska with our college ministry. Who would've thought that we would go thousands of miles away to meet the one God had intended for us to spend the rest of our lives with? I think God has a great sense of humor!

Anyways, we have so many great memories from that mission trip. We formed so many new relationships and had an awesome time serving the Lord. Alaska truly is a beautiful country.

I encourage all of you to take a vacation there!

This time, we will be going on a mission trip with our church, The Station Church to NYC! We are so excited to see what God has planned for us on this trip. I ask that you pray for safety during our travels and throughout the week, and that God would do amazing things.

Buying Healthy Foods with Sales and Coupons

I've heard some people say, you can't buy healthy foods with coupons, and that's just not true! There are plenty of coupons out there for healthy stuff such as eggs, cereals, bread, beverages, etc. I mean, even Whole Foods has coupons and they are known for their healthy, organic foods.

For instance, Nutella is on sale this week at Publix. I have never tried Nutella, but one taste and I was in love! Now, I'm not gonna eat it all the time because its 200 calories per serving, but it could be a part of a well balanced breakfast.

Publix also has:

Blueberries- 1 pint $1.99

Fresh Express Salads- BOGO

Yoplait Yoplus Yogurt- BOGO

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest or Garden Delights Pasta- BOGO

And there are many more great deals each week. Its up to you what you purchase at the grocery store!
