Group Giveaway: $500 Winter Wonderland Cash *Ends 12/16*

Hi Jenny.  I'm coffee addicted, love to cook, read and write.  My son is obsessed with the Packers, so even though I don't like football at all, I get excited about the Packers, which usually surprises everyone around me.  Because I am mildly disabled (enough not to be able to work outside of the home or any regular hours), for the first time in my life (I am nearly 50!), I have to rely on someone else for income.  It so happens, that someone is my husband.  We are both in a second marriage and this business of the husband supporting the wife is normal to him.  But to me, it's bizarre!  So I'm always looking for ways to contibute to the family.  Some days I clip coupons and find freebies on the web and find things we can all do (my husband has three sons from his first marriage who visit us sometimes) that are interesting and inexpensive. For some reason, my husband is impressed by these things. So I get a kick out of doing them.I make a little of my own money editing and writing and with my small Pampered Chef business.  I'm pretty much way over-educated and I can bake pies, so I'm always coming up with schemes to build my multi-media, home based empire.  I talk my husband's ear off about my ideas to keep him alert while he's driving.  Then I need a nap.One of my degrees is in teaching and another one is in divinity.  So, while I have ideas and understand things, the money aspect often eludes me.
