On June 6, 2010 we welcomed our 4th child our first son Steven William Hawkins! he keeps me busy but not as busy as his older sisters! my kids are my entire motivation for doing what I do, I was upset as I made a trip to target yesterday with few coupons and no gifcards and ended up spending $113 on things that I normally have coupons for and giftcards to offset the costs BOY was I upset!
