Click here to get a 40% off Michael’s coupon.  It’s good for 40% off one item.  I haven’t seen any problems with clicking on the site more than one to print additional coupons.  The coupon expires August 30, 2008.  Thanks to my friend Karen for the tip.

We’re Here! (An Update)

We arrived to our new home Saturday night.  My parents brought the kids to us Sunday afternoon.  We really missed them, but it was just impossible to get things done while taking care of them.  We’re in our new place and there are still boxes everywhere.  We haven’t been home long enough to unpack and […]

I Won a Bronze Metal

 Yesterday, Kaye from Mrs. Nespy’s World awarded me with a bronze metal for one of this week’s posts, Sometimes “Sorry” Isn’t Good Enough.
