General Information

Many of you have expressed interest in learning more about me and my family so I've decided to have the occasional Behind the Scenes at Koupon Karen to share something about me, something we've done or whatever comes to mind.  I was very excited that so many readers wanted to learn more about me, thanks!!! 😉 I mentioned on facebook that I had minor foot surgery about a week and a half ago.  I had a small cyst removed from my left foot.  Thankfully it was my left foot so I've been able to drive once I completed the pain meds. But my foot has been wrapped up tightly for 2 weeks and it hasn't been fun.  I had no idea how much of an inconvenience it would be but with it getting warmer and...

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Monte Carlo. All opinions are 100% mine. I am so happy that I have two daughters because we can do fun 'mother and daughter' things together, things my husband is not really interested in doing like pedicures, shopping and going to the movies!  I've to a few movies with my oldest but we also watch many DVD's together.  She even likes some of mommy's chick flicks! So I'm excited about the new movie hitting theaters this Friday, Monte Carlo which stars Selena Gomez.   Holly loves her in Wizards and I enjoy watching it with her as well.  She's been asking me ever since she saw the previews to go see it.  I do...

Ok, this is not your normal post from me.  And I wasn't going to do it but my friends convinced me that I really should so here it is!   I want to win a Secret Style session makeover at Blogher 11 in San Diego this August. In order to enter I need to write a blog post about why I should win.  They will be picking 12 winners, 10 of them based on their posts and 2 random.  I figure I have a chance at being one of the 2 random winners since I'm sure my post isn't going to be as creative as others! 😉 I am a mom, as you all know.  And some of you may know that I joined Weight Watchers 11 weeks ago as I shared it a few times on the blog.  I'm still following the program and really loving the...

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunbelt Software for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I'm on my computer all day (well I jump on and off all day long) and there are a few things that I try to avoid; a slow computer and catching viruses.  That's why I was happy to learn about VIPRE Antivirus software.  It's designed to optimize overall performance of my PC by giving me antivirus and antispyware all in one product but at the same time offering me a high performance software that won't slow down my computer and protects it all at the same time. Sounds good, right?  It also comes with FREE U.S based technical support so you'll actually get help from someone you can...

If your like me, your scrambling this week to fill those Easter Baskets.  I'm also preparing for a birthday party with an egg hunt as well!  So I was super excited when I received a bucket full of great Easter Basket ideas from Hasbro.  It's hard for me to spend a lot of time walking the aisles to see what's available so it's nice to get ideas online and I hope this is helpful for you as well. A few items they sent me... Play-Doh Bunny & Chick Stampers - These are super cute!  They are a mix between an animal and an egg.. does that make sense?  Inside there is some play-doh and they each have a stamp under their feet.  When you press down it stamps out some play-doh into a shape.   The...

I love giving gifts but sometimes it's very hard finding a gift for that hard to buy for person or the person who has everything.  And then there are those parties that you are invited to and they say "no gifts" but you know you want to bring something anyways.  That's when a fun gift comes in handy.  But lets face it, we aren't finding gifts for any of these people at CVS or Walgreen's.   That's where a store like Spencer's comes in handy for the gift ideas that need to be special.  And boy do they have a variety of special gifts, I'm sure you could find something for EVERYONE you know there! I remember walking around Specers at the mall when I was a kid, but I haven't been in one for a...
