Learning, sharing and scoring!

Welcome all to my new blog...

Since we all seem to agree that time goes by too fast, and we can't be everywhere and see everyone we want to, I'm going to meld a couple themes together here.

First, I'll be documenting Nate's life as he grows and accomplishes things, because I just can't help but share all of the fun (and not so fun, but-worth-it-anyway) moments. Along with those tales, I'll also be reviewing - and welcoming the opinions of others - on various gear, toys and other fun stuff that are part of children's and babies' lives.

I'd also like to take a page from MamaCheaps and the mass of other bloggers who have shown many of us how to score some great deals and freebies. I don't consider myself to be a super-couponer, but I'm definitely into looking for handy deals on stuff we all use.

I'll also be learning how to do and about things along the way... hopefully you can join me and we can teach each other some new lessons! I come from a family that does things themselves (my mom is a fabulous inspiration) and its time for me to acquire and/or hone some of those fun skills - cooking, painting, home maintenance, remodeling, sewing.. all that stuff which will help me keep to a (very lean) budget.

Reader comments, suggestions and even random thoughts are always welcome, just please keep them on topic and in good taste.
