Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are you doing today? Happy last-day-of-2014! I’ve been busy this last week spending time with family and haven’t been as good about Rise and Shine. I appreciate the break and want you to know that starting next week, when the kids are back in school and husband is back to work, that I’ll be back into the routine. 🙂
On Monday night, my husband and I headed down to Portland for a whirlwind 24 hours getaway, without kiddos. We stayed at the Benson Hotel thanks to a great deal on Jetsetter and we had a lot of fun wandering around the city – hitting up Powell’s books and enjoying a Happy Hour dinner at Oba restaurant.
Yesterday afternoon we spent cuddled up with the kids watching movies and then a marathon session of writing holiday thank you cards. Want to get those in the mail today. We have no plans for New Years tonight – just hanging out at home with the kids and welcoming 2015 in a low-key way.
Queen Bee plans for 2015 – I see a lot of blogs launching series for January 2015 – weight loss, budget, cleaning/organization – and well, I’m not sure I have a topic I want to focus on right out of the gate in 2015. I’m hoping to get some feedback from you – via a survey later this month, to see what you want more of – so that I can better serve you this year. More coupon deals? More meal planning? More chickens/garden? More online sales? More recipes? So many ways that I can spend my time – but I want it to be beneficial to you and I want my site to provide real-time benefits for you. You can leave a comment on this post if you have ideas of things you’d like to see!

I think frugal DIY crafts/home decorating ideas would be cool. Designing on a dime 😉
Happy New Year!!
