Coats For Kids Drive in Long Island NY

  Did you step outside today? If you live in New York you would have felt a significant drop in temperature.  It was about 16 degrees. Brr! Yes, it is blistering cold.  I am complaining about the weather, too. But for me it is temporary, soon enough I will be in a warm car or house.  I am thankful that I have a roof over my head in all weather conditions.  Read more >

Valentine's Day Deals

My partner and I spent Saturday morning cutting coupons like the "coupon mom." Our goals: to become more aware, focused and cut our grocery spending in HALF. We started out with a bang until supermarket psychology foiled our plans, once again! Distracted by packaging and placement of products, we rounded out the week in last place with a whopping $300 total! What went wrong? First, we went hungry. Second, we didn't buy around the store sales circular. Last, we threw out our list and kept picking up item after item.  Read more >

Report Cards and Listening Skills

A cup of tea (non-sweetened due to my South Beach Diet) poured into a clay creation created by one of the kids revived the circuits.  I stretched pushing the joints into high gear.

About Me: 

I began the blog process personally in 2007.  I had stepped into a life battle between my ex and our child.  I wanted to heal and feel connection from others.  Blogging fit a purpose in my life AND helped me find direction. I discovered that blogging works if you work it! I met an admirer of my writing who also shared a similar life journey AND who lives in my old hometown. What are the odds? She gave me valuable advice and gave me directions to my present lawyer. 

Things happen for a reason. I won! Maybe I did not get everything, I would have prefered full custody. However, I gained more quality hours with my son.

Now I am here to promote my job: yourLI.com! I am blogging "money matters and family budgeting" for yourLI.com, which is a local Long Island website with thousands of local coupons and deals. Plus yourLI.com has an event calendar from concerts to family and sporting events. Check out our contest page, there are great prizes if you enter to win.
