. This Sunday there will be a Smartsource and a RedPlum insert in the newspaper. Check out Taylor Town Preview for a list of what coupons that you can expect. Please note that these may vary by region. *The most asked questions that I get are about local newspaper inserts so here are a few answers: How many papers should buy? I personally buy 4-6 every Sunday depending on the amount/quality of coupons. This allows me to stock up on items that I find FREE or at rock bottom. If you can't afford to buy more than one newspaper, ask your friends/family/neighbors if you can have theirs. Does The Advocate or Times Picayune have the best coupons? There's no easy answer here. The Times Picayune generally has more coupons and it sometimes has the Redplum inserts that The Advocate does not contain (the RedPlum insert comes in the mail with the weekly store ads in the Baton Rouge area). However, The Advocate does have the s

. I just adore pictures of my girls so when Kelli Annison of Photo Bella Photography contacted me to do a giveaway and offered to take pictures of my girls, it took me only 3 seconds to respond back with a big YES! When asked what I was looking for in pictures of my family, I told her that I liked candid images that show their personalities. Check out the amazing pictures that she took because I more than LOVE them and will have to refrain from ordering too many:) Baylee (age 14) Skylar (age 8) Isabella (age 2) Kelli's Inspiration Since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated with the art of photography and dabbled in it as a hobby but I never had the time to devote to really explore the art. Then when my daughter was born, suddenly I was so inspired. She was so beautiful to me and through her I found the beauty in everything. You truly see everything anew as a mother. I wanted to teach my daughter to follow her dreams and her passions. How could I
