2011 Ultimate Blog Party: Welcome!

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

Welcome to the 2011 Ultimate Blog Party!!

Who is The King's Court IV?
Well, my name is Cristi and I am a full-time working, wife, and mother of 2 (born in 2000 and 2008), who is trying to make a better life for my family.  Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, we love the Midwest!  I’m also slowly learning how to make a better use of my money while saving for a better future for my family. 

What is The King's Court IV?
I started my blog in December 2009 with a passion to share my money-saving attempts, some great recipes, as well as lots of other fun stuff!  I basically got fed up with my financial situation and wanted to take things to the next level.  I've found through couponing, meal planning, and better budgeting, I've been able to take great steps to achieving my family's goal!

*Check out my latest giveaways too...


I look forward to blogging/chatting with all of you!  Take care and have a great time at the party!!
