The temperatures started dropping in the last few weeks here in Chicagoland and it occurred to me that winter’s almost here. And for us, that not only means cold, cold weather but snow! While I love taking my toddler out in it, it does tend to keep me a little more homebound when I have to drive in it. 
So over the last few weeks, I’ve been focusing even more on my family. I’m trying to sneak in as many outside outings as I can. Lately, we went apple picking and on a full moon walk and are planning a trip to the pumpkin patch hopefully this weekend. I am getting so excited about my daughter’s first Halloween and that my parents will be able to share that with us this year.

But as I’ve taken more time for my family, I’ve fallen a little behind on the things that I need to do daily to keep up on blogging. So I just wanted to say Thank You for your patience as I s-l-o-w-l-y do my best to catch up on emails, deals sent and even some blog awards I’ve been awarded. (Thank you for that honor and I’ll post about those real soon!) I’m doing my best not to stress over catching up, as I hate to not get back to my readers quickly, but I know you all understand.
I’m hoping that while deal-finding, saving money and even blogging can be fun that you always keep your focus on what’s most important — family. Deals will come and go but you can never get back those precious moments with your little ones. My littlest is turning one next month and I keep asking myself–where did the time go?
Make sure to plan some time for some fun fall outings and make those memories that you will long remember over any great deal you might find.
