And what does this include

Here are a few websites I am currently pulling-up every few days, or subscribing to . . .
and it's got to be worth it's salt in time since I don't have all that much with two kiddos under two!

Money-Savers:
http://www.coupons.com/
all sorts of savings
ex: I found a coupon for $5 off any size/type Huggies diapers

http://www.homemakerbarbie.com/
great idea for cheap/quick meals, free magazine links, other mom interests that is far worth subscribing to email updates!
ex: a weeks worth of dinners, along with links to the recipes AND a grocery shopping list! I mean, come on now, that is fantastic!

http://www.costtodrive.com/
well, in a few weeks we are going to visit my in-laws for Easter and then hop over to the West Coast to see my folks . . . this website told me how much it will approxiamately cost, as well as the mileage based on the type of vehicle I own.
SIDE NOTE:
Okay, let's just get this out of the way now: I own a minivan. It's a 2009 Dodge Caravan & it's wonderful & the brakes kept us out of what would have been a BAD fender-bender. Besides, it looks more like a Crossover vehicle than the Dodge Caravan I took my drivers license test in at 16!
ex: should we just drive or would it be cheaper to fly?
how much should I budget in gas money for our trip?

Because we'll always describe ourselves as "mom" and ___(fill-in the blank)___

I could think of something unbelievably clever to title my blog, but I didn't.
I could call upon my education and the many texts I hailed sacred in college to do so, but I won't.
Maybe the truth is that I wish I could, but I just haven't the time.

This is simply because in my description of myself I would always say I am a mother and then something else, but always a mom. 'Mamma' because this is what my kiddos call me- pretty simple.

I hope to pass on anything that might aid my fellow mamma in the quest to be the best mom possible, which of course includes taking care of herself!

Let's raise our nearest object (i.e. cleaning tool, laptop, or young child) in the air and toast to our successes, those past & future!
