A few of my favorite things!

I was recently at a Target in line and the lady in front of me's grocery bill game to $48.00, she gave the check out guy a stack of coupons and brought her total down to $21.00! I said something to her like. . . wow, i need to use coupons! and she told me about this website. Utahdealdiva.com. I especially love the grocerysmarts link that shows you all the ads for the week and what is actually a good deal. I never know if a sale is a good deal so this really helps me out! I am really awful at grocery shopping but am hoping to get better at it!
The TONY Ikea Shelf! We recently painted our office one of my favorite paint colors - Benjamine Moore Lead Gray and we have been slowly adding these awesome shelves from Ikea to our wall! I just love the chrome brackets!
MINT.COM
Clay and I recently were told about mint.com and what a cool program it is!!!! We love mint and have all of our bank accounts set up through this website which allows us to set budgets and track every single thing we buy! Balancing your checkbook never was so easy!
I rediscovered my love for this Christmas Album that came out last Christmas by the Hotel Cafe. My favorite Song still remains "Winter Song" by Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareillas (sorry about the spelling!)
I actually haven't read her book, but I love her website and blog. It is all about green living and eating organics and fresh foods. Clay and I recently were in a discussion at his house over Sunday dinner and decided to try and eat much less processed foods. We then watched the documentary "Food Inc." and we are defiantly sold on the idea of non processed foods.
Tinyprints.com is such a fun graphics website and they have some way fun Christmas Tags. Sometimes I just go here for inspiration for making my own things.
