I am one of those Krazy coupon ladies, trying to stretch a tight SSI budget, so I visit mutiple websites hunting for the deals. I came acrossed your website, and read about your decision to spend more time with family, and less time blogging.<br /> I am the mother of 3 wonderful grown children, and I have 5 grandchildren. My oldest daughter is 40, my son 33, and the baby of the family a girl is now 31. I myself am 59. I look back at how quickly life has passed. The last 30 years seems like a blink of an eye!! Your decision to spend more time with family is the right one. I love my children to pieces,and I love spending as much time with them as their busy lives will allow for, but those childhood years are so precious. You made the right choice to spend less time blogging and more time for family!! It's truly the investment that pays back more than a dollar saved on couponing!!! God bless you richly, Rev.
