    Who knew that Idaho was so beautiful. Great location, Love the view! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

  13. Sheree

    Suggestion: Next Giveaway —– trip to OLA…..Living in Texas you don’t see that kind of beauty very often. Small towns and diners are the BEST!!!! Does Mom have an extra room? Love the video!!! Thanks for sharing.

  17. Erin

    Ok so I totally live in a small town in Idaho!!! Love the video, you can’t get better then Idaho’s beautiful mountains, forests, deserts – we have it all!

  18. Nicole

    I thought it was going to be Wyoming, especially when you said in the middle of nowhere, but I wasn’t surprised when you said Idaho. Beautiful country and a well kept secret. Thanks for the video it was Great! I loved the Hula Hooping at the end.

  19. Mal

    Next time call your step dad your bouns Dad.. He will love it.

  20. Angie

    Awesome video! It’s great to be able to visit family when you don’t get to see them too often.

  21. Michelle

    ur too cute! Loved it. And i did save money cause I got quite a few free smiles! Enjoy the middle of nowhere!

  22. Julie

    Gee I was hoping you were in Utah, at least I was close. Have a great time!

  23. Brendadlr

    I can’t wait to see how many new porch swings we’ll see cropping up across this country! What a great, frugal idea! And the seats are definitely going to be made to be sturdy! What a GREAT idea! We had a couple of bench seats from an old van on our back porch for a while. We called them our “redneck couches”. Maybe those are “redneck swings?”

    Enjoy being with your family and (obviously) having a fun, fun time! Awesome!

  24. Alli H

    You are so cute Collin! I loved the view and I loved the car seat swings! 🙂

  25. Jo

    Loved it! Your mom is one smart cookie and I am so going to try to talk my husband into making one of the porch swings! The best part is I have the back seat of a van already just sitting out there because I don’t need it or want it in my van. So fun! What a beautiful view to wake up to every morning.

  26. Denise

    That was so stinkin’ cute!! Enjoy your family Collin!!!!

  27. MELISSA INMAN

    THAT WAS SO GREAT!! I was bored and you just made me smile

  28. Voahangy

  29. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I really miss the follow me videos…..I really looked forward to Monday to see a new one….are you going to start making them again in the fall?

  30. Donna W.

    Collin, Thanks for taking time out of your vacation to say hello to us 🙂 I love how you make couponing so much fun 🙂 Thanks again!
    BY THE WAY GIRLS>> those of you that have Petsmart near you…..Be on the LOOK OUT for 4.00 off ANY IAMS cat food/may have said dogfood too ?? anyway……they sell 2lb food for 4.49, so for .49c I got two pounds of IAMS cat food!

  31. Jamie

    Loved the video and hope your having a great time! I LOVED the porch “swings” what a creative way to re-use things that would otherwise have gone into the landfill – I’d love to see more things like that in your blog – it’s great to save on the things we need (and some things we want) but it’s the ultimate in frugal living to simply find another way to use what we already have. Enjoy the vacation!

  32. Serafina

    Loved it!

  33. Tracy

    I love watching your videos. Enjoy your vacation.

  34. annie

    Collin, you are flippin’ NUTS! But I LOVE it! You really need your own show on TV, hey if Elizabeth Hasselbeck (sp) parlayed a tv career out of Survivor, you can to!
