A New Year has Begun!

Before the day was over, I wanted to stop in and wish everyone a happy new year!  I am personally really excited about this year and I expect it to be great and the start of many new adventures!  Although I am not usually one for New Years Resolutions, this year I decided to make one - to be more organized (specifically when it comes to the material objects in my home).  This is the year I hope to finally jump in feet first and organize everything the way it should be so that clutter no longer consumes my everyday thoughts.  I figure a clutter free life must be a tad more relaxing! 

Other than organizing my material possessions, I'm really hoping to start organizing my meals better.  I have recently started making a few freezer meals here and there.  I'd like to expand that to preparing even more ahead of time in order to reduce the stress around meal times, which often leads to consuming unhealthy options that are loaded with fat and preservatives!

That leads me to my other wish for 2010.  To get healthy, fit, and lose some weight along the way.  I know many people make this a new years resolution but I've learned in the past that, that often doesn't work very well (at least for me).  That is why this is more of a personal goal for myself which will be ongoing - 2010 and beyond!

I figured I'd keep my goals simple and I'll go from there.  I'm sure throughout the year, I'll add a few more into the mix once I've started to accomplish these.  When it comes to accomplishing goals, I've found that baby steps always works best for me!


I'd love to hear from all of you!  What are your new years resolutions?  Do you have any goals or dreams for 2010?  How do you think 2010 will be compared to 2009?



Once again, I'd like to wish all of you the best in new year!  May all your hopes and dreams become a reality!

Happy 2010!

Canadian Coupon Insert Schedule for 2010

I was just reading through Dealcetera and noticed that couponlady posted a list of the coupon insert dates for both Smart Source and Shop & Save (Red Plum).  These coupon inserts are generally found in your local major paper.  For me, I can find them in my Saturday Winnipeg Free Press.  Once in awhile, I'll get the coupon inserts in with my flyers on Wednesday or Thursdays.
