It's impossible for me to not want to hug you right now! I love your reviews. Always have. Always will. Even when the meal fails to impress you or hold even the slightest chance of bringing you the treasure you sought in your dining experience, it always enthralls me to read the words you use to describe every ounce of your experience. I taste it all, see it all and feel just as if I'm dining with you when I read your streams of thought. And I deeply appreciate what you give me in those words. Thank you so much for writing. I mean that. It's a beautiful gift.

I have a confession to make. I am currently in a strong love affair with watching people who dare to "Love out loud". I am deeply and devotedly saturated in my love-fest. And I do not have any plans to leave this affair - ever. Yesterday, I spotted an adoring... Continue reading

Why we do Friday night..."Wine, Cocktail, Martini...water...whatevah!"
Image
We were deep in the middle of a financially difficult season, for our family. The whole year had been particularly taxing on our lives. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. It was tough to lift up my head and face the day, every day. Further complicating it, was harshness of our NY... Continue reading

(written while living in New York) It's mid-summer here in New York. Lately the days have been full of sunshine, deep blue skies, cool breezes and everything is bursting with emrald shades of color.

Marriage Letters: The way you come alive, takes my breath away

Dear Stephen, Our little trolley swayed, bobbed and lurched as it slid along the tracks and up the steep hill. It was nearly the end of our first date. Tired, you leaned against the outside railing and I leaned against the wall in front of you. And I watched you.... Continue reading

Ms. Stacie, great question. Whats probably happening for those folks is that they get coupons in their area for the gatorade and vitamin water. Not every area has the same coupons. Even when there are coupon previews up on the websites, there isnt really a guarantee that all the coupons will be in your coupon inserts. However, there are ways to get the coupons that others are getting..by using places like Coupons by Dede The only time that it may really pay off to use a site like that...is when you know that there are coupons in an insert that will get you freebies and deeeeeeeep discounts or you need just a set of coupons in particular...theyll have them in bulk. Otherwise, its better to just grab up a stack of newspapers on a Sunday for yourself. Also, keep your eyes peeled for store hang-tags and peelies. They are often found when you least expect them to be there. Im gonna assume that youre in a ShopRite area..based on the price you quoted for the $.88 - which is their most common discount price for a product..lol Some ShopRites are a boon for coupons in the aisles...so keep looking. Ive seen Gatorade coupons from time to time. Oh and I did a quick search on the coupon databases and right now it doesnt look like there are any coupons out there. But dont let that keep you from anything. Try writing the companies and telling them how much you love their product and ask them for coupons if they offer any. It can bring you great success at times! Hope that helps! And happy Couponing Ms. Stacie, Jennifer
