Tam Talks Coupons
True Story Last week I bought 53 items for less than $100 from Harris Teeter! How did I make that happen? By shopping on sale, using coupons, and using rebates. Let me start by saying, there is more than one way to make couponing work for you, I am just sharing my experience with you […]
Moms Need Consideration!
Mother’s Day happens every year in May, and it never ceases to amaze me how many people still wait to the last minute to shop for the most important women in their lives. I’m speaking about myself as well. So if you, like me, are out there waiting until the last minute to get the […]
Women Are BADASS!
As soon as I logged on to FB this morning, the first post I read was one from one of my girlfriends stating how she was already epically failing at doing the day. My first thought was whoa, hold up! She’s the mother of two boys, a teacher, and a loving wife… how could she fail at […]

Some have referred to her book as the “decluttering bible”, so with a review like that, I knew that I needed it in my life. Since […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I am unaware of all the parables in the Bible, and today I learned a new one. When I went to church this morning, Pastor spoke on the subject of being able to start again, as I am sure many ministers did on the first Sunday of the […]
Vision.Purpose.Faith.
Happy New Year! It’s 2016, and everyone is all abuzz with plans of resolutions, change, and growth. And while all of these notions appeal to me, I have decided that I will not be making a list of resolutions this year. Now, we all know that a lot can happen in a year. Some things […]
