First Post!

I had this blog since 2009. It is now 2012 and I am making my first post!! Hopefully I can keep up with it!

A little about me:
I am a mother of 2, Sam 10 and Maddy 6. I have been married for 8 years and my husband works out of town 5-6 days a week. This really stinks and we miss him a lot! He is great provider and makes it so I am able to be home with the kids and go to school. I am a full time student at Binghamton University. I hope to graduate with my BA in Biology in May of this year. It is the worlds longest Bachelors degree as I started when Sam was 18 months old. With a few breaks in between I have finally almost made it!! The next accomplishment will be to get a job...

I Love, Love, Love couponing!! It is so fun and relaxing for me. I love the feeling when you walk out of the store after you have saved a ton of money! It is the best natural high!! I started about 2 years ago in order to save money for my family and now it pays about the same as a once or twice a week part time job. I save $40-50 a week on our groceries with coupons. Very Exciting.

I do enjoy cooking and providing yummy things for my family!! I am so busy that I am usually only in the kitchen out of necessity but when I get to cook for fun I really enjoy it!

We have a few pets to add to our madness and they are Maggie Mae our 6 year old English Mastiff. Speedy Gonzalez our mostly out door cat, she is very independent. Gonzo our 7 year old Bearded Dragon that we hand raised. Lastly 2 huge New Zealand white Rabbits named Cadbury and Snow White that we are unable to tell apart. They look identical in every way!

So welcome to the McConnell Madness I hope to fill you in regularly!
