What's in a name

For those of you following my blog you may have noticed some big changes. As time has gone on I have begun to realize the importance in a name in a blog. The name is the first thing people see, your first impression. Sometimes it is humor based and other times sometimes just matter of fact. Either way it brings a sense of clarification for the reader.
So what does this mean for my blog. Well clarity and focus for start, going to a more focus goal of sharing my love for cooking to help inspire, especially for those that struggle when it comes to cooking. I want to bring my readers along in the journey of creative budgeting to help make it so simple that it becomes second nature. Because once it becomes second nature we no longer have to focus and worrying about it, and instead can devote our time to creating mouthwatering delights to share.

Every Penny Counts

As my husband and I embark on this adventure called life the one thing that we struggle with, like so many people, is money. Trying to pay off debts and save up money can be such a struggle, so I am constantly trying to come up with ways to save us money. One of those changes I have talked about before is with our food budget. I have worked really hard to keep our costs down every month and I have no problem cutting out coupons to do that, but I have never really found a good resource for coupons. Finally today I happened upon a site that I am very excited about. And while I normally try to wait to talk about a new product, recipe or service until after I have experimented with it for a while I wanted to share this one right away. www.afullcup.com is not just a place to find coupons it is a community of people who are just like you, trying to save every penny they can. It is full of tips and advice on how and where to go to save money. It has a fantastic forum and a very informative blog about where to go to get the best deals of the week. Trust me there is no better feeling then seeing your debt go down and your savings account go up and by introducing things like www.afullcup.com into your daily routine you can start to see that happen. It takes many small steps to change your financial situation but one thing is true if you do nothing at all then nothing will change. Don't just wish for financial freedom take steps to change bad habits and create good ones.
