I started this blog on New Years Day in 2014. Where did the time go?!?

This past year I have struggled with keeping up with this blog. Due to medical problems I wasn’t able to put my “all” into it. And falling on my face and breaking my elbow didn’t help any! I had decided it would probably be best to just delete it. Then I read a blog post that made me change my mind….you have got to love bloggers! You can be down, such as I was, and be swept up in their words and find yourself filled with hope again. So I have decided to hang in there and hopefully 2016 will be a much better year for me.

So…I am not going to dwell on what I didn’t get done but highlight the things I did get to accomplish in 2015….

In April I participated for the second year in the Blogging from A-Z April Challenge. This year I blogged about non-profit/charities.

I knew I wanted to do something to help out fellow bloggers. So in June I posted the first A Blog A Day ~ A Month Of Random (And Totally Awesome) Blogs To Check Out. It’s been a lot of fun sharing such great blogs!

In July I started a page and started collecting expired coupons to send to the military overseas. The total of donated expired coupons for 2015 was $8, 004.95. If you are interested in the Overseas Military Coupon Program you can read about it here:
