Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Well hello there. How are you doing this morning? Nothing too exciting happening around here. My alarm went off at 4:45 and I didn’t get out of bed until after 6 this morning – it’s just one of those days, I suppose.
I’m noticing online deals – especially through Amazon are picking up this last week, as compared to the last week of December and first week of January. I’m hoping this trend continues – because otherwise I get bored with no great deals to post!. 🙂
This upcoming weekend is a 3-day weekend for a lot of schools – anyone doing anything fun or traveling anywhere? I’d love to hear about it!!
I’m starting to think about my garden for this year! Last year I didn’t do much gardening – we were house shopping and I was thinking we were going to move and it just didn’t come to fruition (the garden or the move). This year – although we have some big changes in the works for this summer (more on this at some point) – I don’t want to miss the boat on growing something. I think I’ll get my starts going in the garage in a couple weeks – toward the end of January. Want to build raised beds? Check out our $35 raised bed tutorial here.
I realize I haven’t given you a chicken update in awhile, either. The chickens are doing super and hopefully, if we get a rain-free day in the near future, I can snap some new pictures and do a chicken update for y’all.

These dry sunny days have also got me excited and thinking about my garden. Then I see the weather in other parts of the country and it reminds me it’s still winter. I am ready for chicken updates, gardening planting time tables, list of farmers markets, recycling and reusing ideas, which are just some of the reasons I am a daily visitor to Queen Bee. I loved your Keebler cookie story-with that stories message in mind I am hopeful that now with the holidays over, the seemingly endless list of toy deals will come to an end or at least slow down. Thank you for all you and your team’s hard work. Your grocery store ad/coupon match up is a HUGE help. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!
