Some of you may have noticed that we have been slowing down on posting lately. I've been trying to keep things updated, but since Willow's birth, it has been harder and harder to keep up.
Maybe its that I'm getting tired of typing with one hand while I'm nursing, or that my other two kids want my attention more when I'm not holding the baby. It could be that in addition to a new baby, I've also added running my son to and from school every day, or that I'm just too tired by the end of the day to work on coupon match ups and deal posting.
At any rate, Christina and I have been reevaluating where we are at right now, and have come to the conclusion that we need to take a break so that we don't feel stressed by the fact that we're not keeping up with this. Honestly, I'm not sure if this means that we are quitting the blog for good, but we do need the freedom to just slow things down for a while.
Christina and I both want to thank all of you who read and comment for all your support and understanding. Hopefully we have been able to help encourage you in your journey to spend less, set goals and enjoy more financial freedom.

Take your break and don't worry about us. There are other sites we can jump around to for the deals, and check back with you to see how you are doing. Some sites I frequently check out are...
-fabulously frugal
-hip2save
-frugal living nw
-save with Louise
-crazy coupon lady
-coupon project
Thanks for all you've been doing!
Now go take care of your family and don't worry about us. :)
I have so loved your emails/blogs. They really have helped me get moving with my couponing and saving money. I totally understand your desire to drop guilt :) I'm pregnant with baby four. So to you I say, good idea! Times and seasons! This season may be over and that's ok! You've done a great job :)
Enjoy your babies!

God bless you both and thank you. I did a blog myself and know how much work it is to put all the deals together.
While I've very much enjoyed all the deals you post, having extra time for yourself and kids sounds like a really good idea! Hopefully we can still occasionally here how things are going with you guys. Good luck with everything!
I'll miss you! It always seemed you had the good local deals that aren't always posted on the other sites! Especially when it comes to Safeway! You will be missed, but will watch for your return in the future!! Enjoy your family time, it goes so fast!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments and support. Baby#2 (Zoe) will be due in the next 2 weeks and I am really excited for her arrival.
Becca, I hope ur pregnancy is going well and you are getting excited too. If your like me you are probably trying to soak as much time with your son as I am with Ava :)
Blessings,
Christina
Christina, things are going well with the pregnancy. It's hard to imagine how things will be with 2 kids considering one child takes up all my time.
I can't believe you're two weeks from your due date! It seems to get to the end so suddenly. Hope everything goes well with the rest of your pregnancy, delivery and adjusting to life with 2 cute girls. Best of luck!
Becca
I'm really missing you guys! You were the only blog that told me when the $10 off $50 at Safeway came out in the paper so I could look for it.
You were the first couponing blog I found, your stockpile pics got me started on this road! Since then I keep up with six different web-sites and have turned my whole family into couponing maniacs. You were the only ones that got Safeway match-ups that others missed (atheno's feta cheese, that was great!)
Ladies - I have totally missed you both and appreciated all your local deals you posted especially for Safeway. I completely understand about priorities and spending time with your family. Enjoy your babies and maybe we will see you in the future :)
