I'm reminded of the time my son Isaac, then 10 or 11, gave me a coupon book for Mother's Day as part of a school assignment. Later that week I flipped through the book, planning to cash in on one or two of them, and realized that, on each coupon, he'd written an expiration date. The day he'd given them to me. He gave me a book full of expired coupons.

I got a good laugh out of it and since he appreciated my appreciation of his humor, he wound up granting me a grace period. :)

She’s a better kid than I was. I’m pretty sure I own my parents a home cooked gourmet meal from 1992. I’ve cooked for them a million times since then, but never for the coupon.

I think you are good. No, I think you are GREAT! You've been making the meals, coupon or not! :-)

I loved this so much! Don’t know why but coupons have never made their way into our family gift ecosystem... yet! I’ve got all kinds of schemes to make it happen this year!

Yay! I definitely had leaky eyes Christmas morning. There was just so much kindness!

such fun! I've been on a mission at the local grocery store - using 2 levels of coupons (a pain but worth it if you can figure it out!) - I save $40-50 each time I grocery shop and even won a free Thanksgiving Turkey!! Brandon has gotten on board and enjoys the sport..... and while note coupons - we exchanged notes of love at New Year's Eve.... a lovely touching start to 2024 :)

xo - love seeing the striped scarf on Laurel :)
