Welcome to my blog!

For those of you that follow me on facebook, you know I have been slightly obsessed, ok, majorly obsessed, with posting about my deals, great finds & such. Well, I figured since everyone else has a blog, I might as well have one too! I plan on using this blog for many things. First, to update about us!!! And second, to update about my deals! Even if no one reads them, they will be here for me to refer to!

I hope you enjoy!
