Couponing is not for old people!

I have been couponing for about a year now and I love it.  I have had a couple friends ask me how I do it and where I get my coupons.  I normally go to www.coupons.com and print manufacturer coupons.  Manufacturer coupons are either online or inserts in the Sunday newspaper.  I prefer clipping the inserts.  You can also find a couple of the inserts (Red Plum and Smart Source) online if you do not have access to a newspaper.

www.couponmom.com has awesome couponing tips and coupon match-ups for that week at most grocery stores in the country :)

Steps  How I coupon:

 

• Get the weekly ad from your grocery store of choice.  I like Winn Dixie and Kroger because Winn Dixie has a lot of BOGO sales and fuel perks.  Kroger has a "digital coupon" option where you can go to www.kroger.com and load coupons onto your Kroger Plus card straight from their website.  Love it!
• Next you need to get your manufacturer coupons and match up with what is on sale at the store
• After you get all of your manufacture coupons, flip through the weekly ad and the store's website to see if there are any store coupons.  You can always put a store coupon with a manufacture coupon (this is called "stacking").
• Always Always ALWAYS make a list before going to the store.  Now you have your weekly ad, coupons, and list.  Go in the store and save money! I always save at least half of my grocery bill by couponing.

My cousin is engaged!

I just wanted to say congrats to my beautiful cousin, Mandy, for getting engaged! Mandy and her fiance, Justin, got engaged at Jekyll Island a couple weeks ago (how romantic). Here are some pictures of Mandy and I :)

This is Mandy and I on the left when she was 10 and I was (I think) 1 month old.  The picture on the right was taken a few months ago :)

Can't wait for your wedding Mandy!

What I'm Loving About Summer

So, its finally SUMMER! Since I am a grown up now (well, sort of) I still have to work.  However, I will not let work keep me from living it up this summer.  I am writing this blog to show a few trends I am loving right now.

OPI Polish will forever be my favorite nail polish.  Right now I am wearing "Thanks A Windmillion".  This color is the perfect spring/summer color.  This picture is of Lauren Conrad's nails.  She is the person I look up to for fashion and I saw this on her site ;)

I LOVE JEWELRY! Summer jewelry is my favorite because you can mix and match so many colors and make any outfit pop.

This is something I have not tried yet.  The "fishtail" braid.  I love this! Its so fresh and simple, perfect for summertime :)

Enter my favorite shoe.  Wedges.  Even though I am 5'8, I still wear them! Besides cowgirl boots, these are definitely one of my favorite shoes :)

I hope everyone has an amazing summer!  Xoxo

Another weekend on the road!

This weekend was another fun weekend full of shows! Friday night Cole's band played in Tifton, Georgia at a place called The Gin.  Saturday we went to Starkville, Mississippi and Cole's band performed at a place called Cowbells. 

This picture (above) was taken Friday night at The Gin.

Cole chewing on a straw, tweeting, and driving.  Yeah we are safe....

My mom was my date to The Gin <3

This is Tyler (Cole's guitarist).  We stopped at a gas station and got ice cream :) Yep mine is the Spongebob one.

Hello Mr. Sanders ;)

I have a weird obsession with fancy water.  Seriously I get so excited over Evian and Fiji.

 

 Stole a pic with the singer before the show ;)  I love my man so much!

Best. Popsicle. Ever.

 

 Pretending I am on the Titanic outside of Hungry Howies.  You gotta have fun everywhere :)

 

 Humor on the road can be found on a popsicle stick.

Old school.

These are just random shots from my crazy weekend! I love shows so much.  I sell merchandise for Cole so I get to meet and tell people about his music :) 

Toadlick Music Festival

Right now I'm laying in a bunk on a tour bus in Dothan Alabama. Cole just put on a great show and Rhett Akins joined him on stage! Rhett is probably my favorite writer ever :) he sings my favorite song "That Ain't My Truck" love him! Goodnight y'all.

My weekend

This weekend has been extremely busy! On Friday Cole played an acoustic show at a bar called Floyd's in Americus, GA. I went and had a blast listening to my boyfriend and having a few drinks with friends. Saturday Cole had a show for an organization in downtown Albany at the Hilton Garden Inn which was fun! Oh and we got out in time to see one of Cole's friends at the State Theatre, Corey Smith (I'm a big fan) perform! He's awesome! Sunday we got up and went to my church, Life Christian, and heard a great message. After church I went with Cole to his band practice. Tuesday we are leaving for Nashville and I cannot wait!

Just another musician's girlfriend type of weekend!

If this blog is formatted funny, it is the first one I wrote on my iPhone ;)

What I do 40 hours a week

On the J-O-B

Last May I completed my Paralegal Degree. I work at a small law firm in Leesburg and I love every minute of it! Determined by the case, the paralegal job description can vary: doing paper work, helping attorneys, dealing with marriages, mortgages, wills, trusts and divorces. I work for a Civil Litigation attorney so we deal with the basic family law, Wills, Trusts, Estates, and Real Estate.

You must love coffee to deal with this demanding job!

My view is pretty nice throughout the day ;)


I encourage anyone to get into the Paralegal profession.


XOXO,

Lacy
