how to make tie dye shirts

Earlier today we were out and about and stopped by to see a friend of ours.  It was a beautiful afternoon and we spotted Jen outside hanging clothes.  We walked to the back yard and took a seat on the picnic table as she finished hanging the laundry.  Upon closer inspection I noticed there was a copious amount of tie-dye clothing including kids tee-shirts, a few toddler dresses, onesies and girls jersey shorts.

Extreme Couponing 101 With Jennifer

I spend quite a bit of time scoping the internet for people who have a knack for saving money and aren’t afraid to brag about it.  I gravitate towards those who take an interest in couponing.  Although I’ve been a savvy bargain shopper my entire life, I’ve never fully entered the land of couponing.  I truly admire those that do.  I’ve watched the extreme couponing shows and I’ve heard stories that land my mouth to the floor.
