Want to see what I have been doing instead of writing posts here? Let me show you my little experiment. And please know that I am an official ‘hack’ at gardening. Google is my best friend! This is from the side of the garage. Three rose bushes framed with white and purple petunias, [...]
My Life as a Bear
May 10th, 2012 
Amy Dunbar Do you ever feel like an animal? Perhaps you feel like a lion or a tiger, an eagle or a turtle. Whatever it is, there is some characteristic about the animal that resonates with who are at at that particular moment. We all have our ups and downs, our moments of joy and moments [...]
Warm Tears
April 17th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Driving to pick up my kids today I started crying. The tears, warm and heavy, streamed down my face as I focused on the road in front of me. Thankfully it wasn’t the sob-sob kind of cry that makes me a snotty mess, but rather a still, peaceful kind of cry. Being alone, [...]
It Doubles up to $1.00
April 5th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Do you have a store that doubles coupons up to $1.00. I don’t, but apparently there are some who do. I must say I am a little jealous. Well on of my readers asked that I edit a spreadsheet just for those super cool stores that round your coupon up to $1.00. So I made [...]
Abiding in the Vine
April 3rd, 2012 Amy Dunbar The worship leader at my church asked several people to write what the ‘vine’ means to them. The lesson for the week was ‘Jesus is the vine.’ (John 15: 1-11) I spent some time in prayer and study about this and wrote something – very journal-like – which was read Sunday morning. A couple people [...]

Looking at the book of Joshua and the move from [...]
Budget Momma: Getting Things Moving at Walgreens
March 18th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Yesterday I went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription and on my way to the pharmacy I walked by the clearance shelves just to see what they had. I didn’t have my coupons with me, so it was more of a look-and-see kind of thing. Surprisingly, they had Dulcolax Balance which is regularly [...]
Budget Momma: Organic Savings at Kroger
March 16th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Just when I thought I wasn’t motivated to do much couponing anymore, Kroger brightened my coupon heart with a super sweet Mega Event. Add to that some great Kroger eCoupons on items we really like and some organic printables, and I am one happy momma. Plus, I went shopping all by myself when my [...]
Spring Break Week = No Break for Mommas
March 16th, 2012 Amy Dunbar If you don’t have kids or if your kids don’t go to school, then you will probably not relate to this post at all. For the rest of you moms out there, though, who have kids in school, what do you think of spring break? It seems like most people love it or [...]
Where You Go . . .
March 10th, 2012 Amy Dunbar One of my favorite songs is the Chris Tomlin song ‘I will Follow You.” It’s just one of those songs that sticks in my heart and the subtle quake of its truth readily shocks through my system. The first part of the lyrics are Where You go, I’ll go Where You stay, I’ll stay When [...]
