Change of Plans!!!

To all of the people that have wondered how long it was going to take me to get this started.......I've had a slight change in plans!

Originally I wanted to start a couponing class to teach others how to coupon and save at least 50 percent on their grocery bill, but now it's a little deeper than that! I STILL want to do that because so many of my friends, family, and co-workers have asked me, but you see.....


My husband has Crohn's Disease. I've for a very long time wished that I could take that burden from him and I've prayed everyday that there would be a cure sooner than later. Most people do not even know what Crohn's Disease is. Even having gone to college to start my nursing degree and everything else, I knew very little about it! Crohn's is an inflammatory bowel disease that currently doctors know very limited about. There are a few treatments but each Crohn's patient is different, and each flare can be very different, proving it to be very difficult to treat. Without going into a lot of detail (this can come at a later date), I've decided that I want to raise awareness about Crohn's. Something like "Couponing for Crohn's." There are a lot of diseases that have come to light and have gotten a lot of research attention because of a celebrity or because of the spike in cases. Unfortunately, I am not a celebrity and most Crohn's patients prefer that people do not know about their disease.

So I guess this is my attempt to spread the word about Crohn's by way of today's "frugal lifestyle."  I cannot wait to meet each and every person at my classes and share my knowledge and passion for couponing, I want to teach each of you how to save thousands on groceries each year. With the money from classes, I will be using it to pay our very recent debt from my husband's hospital stay and the abundance of doctor's bills. It is my dream that one day this idea for my classes will spread and Crohn's will get the attention that it deserves!

That being said, please stay tuned for layout changes, and other information about Couponing and Crohn's!

Thank you again for everyone's support!!!
