Sent from reader, Lisa:

When I saw this, I immediately thought of all my friends at Hip2Save and I had to share it with you.

When I came home from work today, I found a note my 8-year-old son left me on the counter. It reads “I finish the coupons. I am happy I can help. Austin” On top of the note, he placed all the coupons he cut out that I had printed the day before. I have never asked him to cut the coupons for me because I never thought he was aware of all my couponing (he has disabilities). It just melted my heart he was “hape to help”, and of course it is for something I just love to do….Couponing!!!

Thank you for letting me share this with you! I thought this was the sweetest thing ever.

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

    So sweet! They are always watching us. Who we are and what we do always matters because kids notice.

  16. shannon

    Wow! How sweet is that. That will definitely be a keeper. Kids do what we do, not necessarily what we say. I love these rare moments where we know what we are doing is really making a difference!!!!
