Well I am finally sitting down to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! We celebrated my Dad’s 60th birthday last night (which kept us out far too late) and I jumped out of bed this morning to race to a marathon 90 minute Zumba class.
New Year’s is one of my favorite holidays because I just love the idea of a fresh start. I am a little bit of a resolution person because I love of idea of trying to sit down and decide what you can do to become a better version of yourself.
So anyway, I always have a very long list of things I want to do and priorities I want to focus on for the New Year. I wanted to share what some of my ideas are for the blog as well.
We will start the year getting back on track with coupons. Now that we won’t have all the holiday shopping madness this should be a time we can also refocus again on stretching those budgets.
If you are new to My Frugal Adventures, there is a wealth of information available for you to read and learn all about how to get started using coupons.
I try to make the focus of this site as diverse as possible for all sorts of lifestyles but the one thing you will find here is a real emphasis on maximizing your time as well as your budget. I hope to offer you solutions to stretch your dollars as well as keep your sanity. I always seem to have a full schedule and I know a lot of you have tons of obligations to juggle and I hope to be a valuable resource to maximize the time you do have.
So once again, thank you for sharing your lives with me and continuing to support My Frugal Adventures. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Happy new year to you too, Charlene. And thanks for all your great work!
Thanks for your awesome blog, Charlene! Happy New Year to you as well!
‘Happy New Year’ wishes to you and your family!
Thank you Charlene for everything you do! You rock! Happy new year!
Happy 2012, and I appreciate the “stretch your dollars but keep your sanity” theme you mentioned. In 2011, I learned (from you) that i didn’t NEED to do every single deal & clutter my home with 20 deodorants! I found balance in 2011. Thanks!
Happy new Year to you too, Charlene! Thanks a ton for all your work and efforts in saving us $’s hope 2012 is the best year yet.
