Good morning! So today I will be giving some tips to save money during this crazy Christmas season! I also want to remind you all that I will be having some giveaways coming up soon!!!! Make sure you check my blog...You never know when the giveaways will start! Here are the rules:

You have a few different opportunities to enter.

1. You are a subscriber via email to my blog

So for each of these ways you can enter you can post a comment under my GIVEAWAY tab and let me know which one you did! Remember a different comment for each one you do!
