All About Me

2009-10-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

Ok, well I know the post title says "all about me", but really I would be here forever!! LOL

Let's start with the basics that you probably already know... My name is Corie, I am a 25 year old SAHM mom to 2 boys...My oldest is 7 years old, my youngest is 8 months old... I LOVE to enter giveaways & contests (I really love when I win something!;)..I love to use coupons whenever I can, I always shop around for a good deal (I hate spending more $ on something when you can find it cheaper elsewhere!) and I enjoy sending away for "freebies & samples"... You can get some really good things that way, or test products out before you buy it..or not LOL...

Which leads me to what I also really love to do..Product Reviews(PR)..Why?? Well because I love to try stuff out, then spread the word on what I think about it. I am always trying the newest things and telling anyone that will listen about how good..or bad(hey, you gotta be honest!) the product is. I am really looking forward to making this blog a place where you the reader can come and read my reviews & opinions and a wide variety of items.. and perhaps throw a giveaway every now and again :) **If any of you are a mommy(or daddy) with a product(s) you would like for me to review please feel free to contact me! Likewise if you are a company with any products you would like me to test out & review**

I am willing to review anything for Women, Men, Children(boys & girls)... If I personally can't test it out(i.e-product is for a child/man), I will be able to provide the product to someone in my immediate family & I will still be able to give you my honest opinion on it.

That's about it for me! :) If you'd like to know anything else, contact me!

A Quarter Of A Century?! - thoughts about my big day, my life -

2009-10-02T08:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, so this post is totally not related to anything my blog is about, but I felt I would share that today is my Quarter Of A Century Day...My 25th birthday!! :)

It's crazy to think of all the years that have come and gone in my life, and to sit here now, knowing all of the things I know that I didn't years ago... You learn SO much in your day-to-day life, and you grow more and more as each day passes..

I am SO blessed & SO grateful to have the life I do have, the family and friends that I do, and the time that I have had and still have here on this Earth...

I never would have imagined my life 10 years ago to be what it is today, but I couldn't be any happier than I have been this past year... I never would have thought at the age of 25, I'd be a "Mommy" to 2 amazing sons, a "step-mom" to a very smart and beautiful daughter, and a "wife" (been together long enough lol) to the man of my dreams, someone who started out as a good friend who became someone I can't imagine living my life without...someone who is always by my side.. I have my very own family. and I couldn't be any happier about it. We are a blended family, but a healthy, happy & beautiful one :)

As for friends, I've got all sorts of friends and I love them all, and they love me too :)

I am so happy and thankful for the past 25 years I have been given and I look forward to many, many, many more years! :D

Hi, my name is Corie and I am a "Frug-A-Holic" ...

2009-09-17T11:24:00.001-07:00

The title says it all...When I got pregnant with my second son, the computer and internet quickly became my BFF. I started entering contests/giveaways, and was finding free stuff too...Nowadays I am constantly on the search for the best deals and finds out there, entering lots and lots of contests, getting sent a bunch of "freebies" and have also become a couponista too! LOL I can't even walk in a grocery store without yanking at coupons on nearby shelves...even if I don't need the coupons! :)

I am addicted to living my life as frugal as I possibly can...and I know I am not the only one out there that is a frug-a-holic!! (maybe you are too?! we should be friends!:)

This blog will be a great place for my fellow "frugz" (my slang for other frugal people) to find links to giveaways, freebies, and other fabulous finds I may come across!
