Tuesday: The Burning Question

Are you a coupon clipper?
Does the amount of the coupon entice you to get the product?
Will you switch products because of a good coupon?

Me: I am a coupon clipper.
I love to see the price go down as they put them
into the register at the grocery store. Cha-Ching

It's thrilling!

If I don't need the product I won't use the coupon to save money.
To me coupons are a great way to try something new/a different brand at a lower price.
If the product pales in comparison...at least I saved money.
There's nothing worse than trying
something new and it stinks, right.

Last question...
Do you have a blog you go to for coupon information? Do tell.

Thanks for stopping by and listening.

Île d'Orléans, Quebec City

Rain, rain go away...and only come back for one or two days. At a time that is. It's pretty much been raining for the last 2 weeks. No joke.

After 7 days I couldn't avoid it any longer. I decided to make the most of Mother Natures soggy renderings and meander to one of my favorite Quebec getaways. My destination being Île d'Orléans. Just 20 minutes from my home this lovely island stole my heart the first time Mr. and I drove around it.

With my faithful (borrowed) companion, Sam, by my side the journey began.

If your not fond of bridges strap on your boots of courage because
that's the main way to get there outside of a boat.

It's all worth it once you turn around and look back.
The island is inhabited with approximately 7000 people many of which relay on the islands rich soil. Île d'Orléans has earned the nickname "Garden of Quebec".
It's an afternoon escape for tourist and locals alike looking for haute cuisine.

Undeniably, each turn you take leads you to another beautiful site.
Rain on my shoulders and droplets on my head, despite the
darkness it was only the colorful leaves that yielded me.
A moment of autumns beauty right before me.
Pomme trees waved in the blowing wind, stopping
me in my departing tracks. The scent alone could pause time.
I filled my bag with the island delights while thoughts of apple everything consumed me .

As it will happen, the road began to lead me home. Sam, some Spartans and
Cortlands too road in silence as I watched the island grow smaller.

Simply- Bags

Are you the kind of person who really thinks about the gifts you give? I am for the most part. Honestly, kids are hard for me. I'm slowly loosing the cool factor. Sigh. I resorted to t.v. commercials on a kids channel only to be disappointed.

When my nieces birthday was looming over my wary mind I found myself reading reviews on blogs. I really do find them helpful. They have gotten me out of a bind or two. I knew that perfect item was out there and I was going to find it. That was when I received an email from Bob. Within minutes I had my question answered when he asked if I would like to do a review on one of his bags.

Simply Bags every shape and size of bag you could think of...
Animal Print, Beach, Bridal, Carpet, Collectible, College, Cosmetic, Damask, Diaper, Duffle, Kids, Laptop, Lunch, Patent Leather, Photo, Quilt, Sorority, Theme, Toile, Travel and Wine.

For my niece I choose the Beach Tote that retails for $27.99.

A stylish beach tote, perfect size to take to the pool or beach. Comfortably fits a towel, bottled water, sunscreen and magazines. Personalized beach bag is jute construction of environmentally friendly materials, inside wall pocket, and rope carry.

Lightweight jute beach tote bag measures 23"W x 14"H, seven inch bottom. Overall height 25". Includes one name line for embroidered personalization or three letter monogram.
Three letter monogram sequence First Initial, Last Initial, Middle Initial enter into text box in that order.

It was the perfect personalized gift for my niece. She loved it! Now she has a bag to take back and forth to the beach, the cottage, the local pool and to school.

Here are a few more that I really like...

Giraffe Lunch tote $19.99
