Happy First Day of Spring!
My favorite thing about this time of year is the blooming azaleas. No matter how nasty the weather is outside, you can count on the azaleas to remind you spring is just around the corner!
I took these pictures last weekend during the cold, rainy weather.
My blackberries are blooming, too! A wonderful reminder of the warm days ahead.
Our berry tree has a lovely mix of blooms and berries.
Is spring blooming in your yard? Leave me a link or a comment. I’d love to see what’s growing!
This Sunday’s Coupon Insert
I said “Insert” this week because there will only be one insert in your Sunday paper. Common Sense with Money has listed what you will find in the Smart Source insert.
A few coupons stood out for me:

High Value Printable Coupons
There are a few really exciting coupons available at coupons.com right now!
First of all, the $5.00 and $3.00 Huggies coupons have been reset. I have experienced problems printing these on one computer, but they printed great on another. If it still says your print limit has been reached, try again later. These coupons are worth the effort.
$2.00 off Dry Idea deodorant. Use this at CVS this week and make a ‘profit’ on your purchase.
$1.00 off McCormick Gourmet Spice
Personally, I’m excited about the $.75 off Del Monte Gold Pineapple. You don’t see many produce coupons and we buy a lot of fresh pineapple at our house!

Saving on Electricity: Leave the Light on
Many people use compact flourescent lamps (CFLs) as a way to save on electricity. Did you know if you use a CFL in a light fixture that gets turned on and off for short periods of time, you will spend significantly more money? Turning a CFL on and off for periods of less than 15 minutes can shorten its lifespan to that of an incandescent bulb.
If you are leaving a room that uses CFL lighting and plan to return within 15 minutes, the Energy Star program actually recommends you leave the light on instead of using the energy it takes to turn the bulb off and back on again in a timespan of less than 15 minutes.
