Good morning! It’s Sunday, so this is going to be short and sweet.
I just spent the last five days in Atlanta, Georgia for Savvy Blogging summit, an annual conference for all types of bloggers and a fantastic resource for both newbie bloggers and longtime veterans of the online world. If you noticed posts were slow and sporadic here on the blog – this would by why. Things should be back up and running more smoothly once I get settled back home.
Have you ever thought about starting a blog, if so, about what? Do you currently have a blog, if so leave a link in the comments below!
By the way, Atlanta was a great city to visit – the people were so sweet and I now understand what they mean about southern hospitality. While I was there I picked up your Atlanta Journal-Constitution and it has $249 in coupons inside and apparently that makes up nearly $9,000 in savings for the year! That’s a great return on your $2.50 investment each week! Have you been? What’s your favorite thing to see or do in Atlanta?

Tom says
I tried the QUEENBEE coupon code for 4 years of “Family Handyman”. It provided a $15.98 discount, taking the 4-year price down to $63.90. Any clues on what I might be doing wrong?
Heather says
Hi Tom, that code was only for October 7. 🙁 I’ll let you know when I see it on sale again – it’s usually at least 2x – 3x a month.
Dyron says
D: Heather’s been away!?! I couldn’t even tell, thanks for letting us know so late. haha Anyways, thanks again for the heads up on the deals. Today, I am going to spend the day clipping and sorting, I’m behind on my inserts. >w<"
Heather says
I’m super behing on clipping coupons. Sigh. So many ways to save – I can’t keep up!
Julia says
I am moving back to N. Atlanta from the Lacey area next month. The first thing I am going to do is eat some real BBQ. I love the Atlanta Underground “Mall” and L5P is fun. There are many sights to see in the more rural areas north of atlanta. Jasper and Helen are beautiful places to visit.
