About
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me.
My name is Kristie and I have been happily married for 13 years to my best friend. We are the parents of a seventeen year old daughter and a thirteen year old son.
We are enjoying our adventures as a homeschooling family entering our eighth year homeschooling our kids.
And rounding out this crazy mix is our chocolate lab named Buddy.
I love the world of blogging. I have been blogging for a couple of years, but Saving Dollars and Sense has been my home since 2007.
This is my little spot on the web where I can voice my opinions on the things that matter to me. I am passionate about a couple of things. The Lord, my family, and learning to live on less. I do not claim to be an expert, but I have learned a few things on this journey and I enjoy being able to share these things with my readers.
On Saving Dollars and Sense I write about several things including money saving tips, recipes, menus, homeschooling, parenting, my faith, freebies, and deals to name a few.
You’ll also occasionally find reviews of the products I’ve used and want to share with my readers as well as some great giveaways too!
You can subscribe to Saving Dollars and Sense for FREE and never miss a single deal, contest, or freebie! It’s your choice, you can receive updates in your email inbox by signing up here, or you can read Saving Dollars and Sense in its entirety through a feed reader by signing up here.
Blogging has allowed me the opportunity to do some pretty interesting things like my trip to Wisconsin, our magical night with Disney, Riding around in a Little Debbie cupcake car, and joining the Ringling Brothers circus!
If you have any questions regarding This Side of Eternity, please feel free to contact me.

I can also be found on Twitter and Facebook. I can’t wait to hear from you!

6 days!! Can’t wait to see what God does at Relevant 10! Thanks for adding your about page to the link up today at 29lincolnavenue. How fun is it to see all those sweet faces! Praying you are able to have a great week planning for the conference in the days ahead!
Thanks for your sweet comment, and for putting together the linky!
This is my first visit to your site. It is magnificent. Thank you for following the call of your King! Beautiful
Thanks for your sweet encouraging words! I hope you’ll visit again soon!
I just found out you are in Mich! Where in Michigan are you blogging from?
Hey Melissa I’m from the metro Detroit area.
Hi Kristie,
I am new to your site and absolutley love it! I have been using coupons years before they were the popular thing to do and have saved so much money. I work FT so do not have the time to find all the great deals and freebies that you do. Thank you, thank you for shaing all of this with the rest of us.
God Bless,
kathy
It is my honor to share the deals and freebies I find with others!
Hi there, I have visited your site off & on over the last few months. I have recently gotten more involved in couponing & came back to your site again tonight. I am in Central CA & no one around here doubles coupons which is a bummer, but I do enjoy playing the drugstore game
Mostly stick with CVS though. I am really looking forward to your continuing series on how to coupon better. Thanks again for all your work! (couponing has made our budget easier to live on with me being a stay at home mom)
Yay, I love to hear couponing success stories!
Hi,
I, too, enjoy your website and want to thank you for taking your time to do it. I have a question though. I can easily find the CVS deals of the week but can’t find any deals from other stores. Where are they located at on your site?
Donna
I LOVE COUPONING BLOGS!! Especially Christian ones!! They always give God the glory for helping them find the best deals!!! Slava Domului!!!! Praise God in Romanian!!!!! I am Romanian!!! Proud to be a Romanian living in the US!
