Want to know what coupons are in this Sunday’s paper? Head on over to Sunday Coupon Preview. I’m busy. I’m tired. I have a chronic illness. I work outside our home. I work inside our home. My kids need help with homework. We need to eat dinner together as a family. I want to spend time talking with my husband. I want to spend time laughing with my kids. I really should be exercising. I have commitments at the church. I need to post to my blog. Just typing these things makes me want to curl up in bed and take a nap. However, I know that the most important thing I can do is to spend time in the Word of God.
Unfortunately, in my busyness, God’s Word doesn’t always take priority. That is why I have committed along with many other lovely bloggers to read through the Bible in 90 days. Beginning on January 1st and continuing through March 31st, I will be reading through the entire Bible. I am excited to make this commitment and to see how God will work during this time! I hope you will consider joining me. If you’re planning on participating, please leave me a comment or send me an email.

It’s Top Ten Tuesday over at OhAmanda (and if you don’t read her blog already, you really need to. And just a little FYI, she’s a Disney Mom, which I totally want to be when I grow up). Ok…now on to the important things (not that OhAmanda and being a Disney Mom aren’t important, but really, this is my blog and today I’ve decided to post about what I want).
I know it’s not even Christmas yet, but I’ve been thinking about my New Year’s Resolutions quite a bit lately and this is the year that I am going to accomplish them. I’ve tried to make these goals all SMART…Specific, Measurable Attainable, Realistic, and Timely, so here they are (in no particular order)
1. Lose weight (average at least one pound/week for the year)
2. Exercise at least 10,950 minutes
3. Stick to our budget…every single month!
4. Track all of our income and spending.
5. Read through the entire Bible. (I’ll actually be reading through the entire Bible in 90 Days!)
6. Take a trip with the kids to Disney World or Disney Land
7. Post at least 5 times/week on my blog
8. Try 2 new recipes per month
9. Read 1 book or listen to 1 audiobook each week.
10. Take a creative writing or public speaking class.
{BONUS} I’d like to get more organized too, but I don’t have a good plan for that yet…

It’s not too late to get some great magazine deals. Magazines are gifts that keep giving all year long.
Amazon has some of my favorite magazines on sale. You can get a one year subscription for as low as $5! You can’t beat that kind of gift.

You may have noticed that a few things have changed around here. In order to keep this giveaway fair, all comments must go through the original Simplified Saving site. After that, it's all going to be here!
I’m thrilled that my sponsor UPrinting is offering another great giveaway to readers of Simplified Saving! That’s right…one of you are going to receive 100 custom 4×6 postcards. These postcards will be printed on 14 pt Cardstock Gloss and can be printed in full color on both sides.
These don’t have to be your average post cards either. UPrinting postcards can be used as thank you cards or personal notecards. You can make a save the date card for a wedding or a birth announcement. You can even use them as Christmas cards (or for those of you who like me never got around to sending out Christmas cards, you can can use them as New Year’s cards). You can even use them as invitations to a party, shower, or special event like a family reunion!
Want to Win It? Leave me a comment telling me what you would do with the postcards if you were to win. This is required!
