My name is Amy, and this blog will be a "domestic diary" of sorts. I am a stay at home mom to two sweet little boys and wife to an amazing (and patient) man (9 years this summer). I am four credits away from earning my masters degree (which is now on hold), and had a career for 10 years before choosing to stay home when my first baby was born in 2007. I want the domestic life, but I'm not that good at it. I would love nothing more than to be the "perfect wife" and the "perfect mother." However I am the furthest thing from that. I really do want to be a Martha Stewart, and would love to be the 2010 version of June Cleaver. I spend too much time on the computer, have a list of organization projects ten miles long, and the dinners I serve leave much to be desired. I have a lot of room for improvement. My goal is to have a good balance so I get to do the things I enjoy like digital scrapbooking, but things at home, like laundry do not get neglected. This blog is the documentation of my adventure in trying to be a better "domestic engineer."

Any good at "extreme couponing?"

I started "clipping" (or printing) coupons lately.  It is pretty fun to watch the savings stack up when the coupons are scanned into the register at the grocery store.  I don't save tons- only an average of $5 or $6 a shopping trip for me.  Coupon Kim is going to have an "extreme coupon 101 class" on her blog, and I think I'll follow along to see what her tips are.  If you'd like to check it out HERE is a link. I think I already have my "homework" done for this week.  I just need one more thing.
