Feel thankful for the fall back.
The past few weeks have been a little rough. I won’t bore you with the details, but to summarize, there have been many, many nights when I haven’t felt like whipping up a delicious dinner or cutting coupons or hunting for the absolute best deal.
And that’s okay. There are times its okay, even better, to not put your focus on saving money, but on getting through. And that’s when it’s nice to have the budget to fall back on, and know that if you need to spend an extra few dollars on eating out or fresh flowers to cheer you up, it’s all good.
And with that said, I’m back in action. Delightful deals are on the way . . .

Our fav, restaurant.com, is having another sale. (In case you haven’t picked up on the trend, gift certificates start to go on sale about 10 days into every month, and the savings increase as the month continues.)
Now through April 13, you’ll get 60% off when you use the code “SEASON” at the checkout.
Anyone else feel like the site is becoming more and more popular? For two months in a row, the certificates I want to purchase are sold out before I can use any saving codes. But if that means that more of you are snagging up the great deals, I’m still a happy camper.

I am love, love, loving these fabulous ice cube trays. (Despite many desperate attempts, I cannot get an image to load. So run, don’t walk, to check out that link.)
Of course CB2 (Crate and Barrell’s brilliant brainchild) would offer something so inexpensive and so delightful.
At $6.95, this is an approved living large purchase.
I need help! In the past two weeks, I must have sent several hour deleting all the spam comments that keep showing up. Yuck.
Does anyone have a suggestion forĀ the best wordpress spam-protecting plug in?
