February 22, 2010 By Cherie Lowe

Howwwdeeee Lords and Ladies!  I hope that you’re doing fine this fair Monday Morning.  The Queendom is a total wreck right now with suitcases from the weekend semi-unpacked, dirty dishes galore, and clean laundry being scattered on the floor by the Youngest Princess as I type (not to mention the fact that she thinks Cheerios make a GREAT accent for our carpet and that crunch under your feet feels grrrrreattt!).

Here’s what’s new in the Queendom (because having a messy house just isn’t new for me!).

  • We had a fantastic time in Liberty, IN where I feel like I learned just as much about couponing from 29 wonderful ladies as they did from me.  The King and I stayed at a fantastic B&B which was perfect (someday I’ll have to post on the cost effectiveness of staying at a B&B over a hotel).  And as we were leaving, we saw a man with a fox . . . on his head (not just the tail part but a hat where you could see the eyes).  I should have taken a picture.  It was simply awesome.
  • That being said, I’m having more Royal Coupon Classes fill my calendar these days.  The classes I’m scheduling right now are private classes but I’m hoping to add a Public one sometime soon, too.  I hear your cries Indianapolis area.  😉  It’s just a matter of finding a good location.
  • I’m hearing FABULOUS things about Swag Bucks‘ 2nd Birthday this week!  Stay tuned for more details but it will involve special Swag Codes for Queen of Free readers.  WOOHOO.
  • Speaking of Birthdays, the Youngest Princess’ 2nd Birthday is less than a month away and so I’m beginning to think about partying.  Wednesday and Thursdays’ tips will revolve around celebrating kids’ birthdays without overspending.
  • I’ve had a couple of print media interactions in the past couple of weeks and I’m hoping soon I can tell you about them.  And I ended up linked out on Hallmark’s Blog at the end of last week which is nifty.  🙂
  • Last but not least, I had a bit of a stomach bug over the weekend so if you thought I dropped off the grid, I did.  Luckily, my germs are not spread throughout the internet so you should be good.
Ok, I’m off to plan our meals for the week!  Plenty of great freebies coming your way this afternoon.
