Would you like to save $1000 this year?
What if I told you that in less than two weeks you could be well on your way to having saved $1000 this year? We could all use a bit of extra cash and with just a few simple steps you can easily attain this goal (even more!)
If you are a new follower then you may be surprised to learn that I have not always been a coupon using, deal finding, money saving mindset kind of gal. When I went on sudden leave while pregnant with my second child I went into research mode...if I suddenly wasn't making any money what could I do to save more? You can read more about how my journey has progressed here.
Last but not least I wanted to share what I had learned and set to work with a couple of "guinea pigs" to see if I could also set them on the road to saving $1000 just like I did in my first year! Now join me over the course of the next 2 weeks to learn how YOU can SAVE $1000 a year with some super easy steps, many of which you may already be doing. If you are already taking all of the steps that I am going to cover in the next couple of weeks then great! Know that you are on the right track and join along and share your own tips with us. Keep in mind that I am not a financial guru, results may vary depending on your current spending habits AND how dedicated you are in following each step. I hope that these will be useful tools in helping you to become a conscious shopper and to think about where your hard earned dollars are going.
Let the savings begin.......

FREE EVENT: Parents Night: Discipline & Other Parenting Dilemmas
If you have yet to attend a FREE PARENT'S NIGHT, hosted by Lisa of Kindermusik with Lisa, then you sure won't want to miss the next event being held Tuesday May 8th beginning at 7:30. You do not have to have a child enrolled in a Kindermusik class, the evening is open to all parent's to come learn and share!
Here's what up for the next parent's night: Rebecca
Kellett an Early Childhood Resource Consultant with Community Living
Kawartha Lakes will be talking with us about Discipline, and other
parenting strategies to help us face the challenges that raising
children can bring!! Beckie has extensive experience working with
children; She has over 10 years experience working in Early Childhood
Education. Beckie is well versed in child development, and is an
extremely creative problem solver!! This workshop will be filled with
creative, stressfree "tactics" we parents can use to assist in improving
how we handle some of the more challenging aspects of raising our
children, while enriching our lives & mainly improving our
relationships with our children!! The conversation will be geared
mainly towards children aged 0-6, but if there are parents with older
children who could use some advice, if we are aware ahead of time,
Beckie will certainly make sure that we cover those topics too!
Come on out for an evening of information, and meeting other parents! As always it is Free, and there will be coffee and light snacks! If you need any more information please feel free to send an email to lmccann3@cogeco.ca or visit Lisa's Kindermusik Facebook Page.
Hope to see you here!!

April Round Up
Wow what a busy month April was!
I had a fantastic time at the Mom to Mom sale and both sold and donated a ton of items. I have two boxes of clothes left that I have started to photograph and list online to sell. Also a big THANK YOU to all those who participated in my very first blog giveaway on Kawartha Bargains and a special thanks to Lovable Labels for their amazing prize! Watch for more giveaways in the near future as well as links to some other great giveaways. I don't always have a chance to share them on Kawartha Bargains blog so be sure to follow along on my Facebook Page where I try to post links to as many as I can.
On the scratch baking front...not so good...while I did bake from a box twice the only thing I managed to make from scratch were peanut butter cookies. I think in order to better pursue this point I need to sit down and figure out what the key ingredients for baking are that I should have on hand. Any suggestions?
Last but not least a special thanks to my "guinea pigs"! Starting next week don't miss out on my blog series "Want to save $1000 this year?"
Looking ahead to May:

Looking ahead to May:
- On my Looking Ahead to 2012 list May is WALK! Yes I know this makes sense and we do walk a fair amount but at least once a week I want to make it a point to walk somewhere that we would have normally driven. On my Mother's Day wishlist is a new wagon (with at least one seatbelt for my little escape artist). I actually walked downtown with the kids this past Sunday instead of driving (which I normally would have) so does that count as my one for this week?
- Join me for my blog series "Want to save $1000 this year?"
What are you looking forward to in the month ahead?
