Well, this is not Liza posting this – this is her husband (or as you ladies call us, “hubby”). Above is my stab at this week’s Publix Photo Show & Tell, because they don’t exactly have any Publix’s where Liza is right now. If you’ve followed this blog at any length, you know that Liza and I have been in the adoption process for almost 2 1/2 years now, and she left earlier this week to be with our son, Baby T, in Ethiopia, a mere 7000 miles away from me and the dogs (and don’t forget the cat).
Hopefully you’ve noticed that Addicted to Saving has carried on as normal. I help her out with the site behind the scenes so I’m pretty knowledgeable of the couponing world, but doing a Show & Tell on my own has got me a little queasy, I’m not gonna lie. But I think it turned out okay.
More importantly, I thought you all would appreciate a pic from momma and son, who, although very tired, are doing well. Thanks for all the well-wishes and prayers that you have given us in this journey. It’s been fun to see people we don’t even know that well rally behind us, and we have been super encouraged because of it. Here’s momma and Baby T, forever united:

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Hubby you did a GREAT job!
Thanks Valerie! I appreciate the kind words!
Excellent Job Hubby!! and congratulations new parents, God bless you
Yanet, may God bless you too – thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you for keeping up all the info I have come to rely on-you are doing an excellent job. Hope all the requirements for your adoption of Baby T are soon fulfilled so your whole family will be together in the USA.
Jeanne – me too! We are waiting for the finder of our son to come to the US Embassy and give his testimony at this point. We appreciate your well-wishes!
Great job on the Show & Tell “hubby”! I’m glad you added a picture of Liza and Baby T though! That was the best part of your post! 😉 I hope you are all reunited very, very soon!
Thanks Rose! I agree – the pic was definitely the best part. 😉
I came to the site specifically to see if there was an update on taking Baby T out of the orphanage. I didn’t see anything, so I checked out your Photo show & tell. I am so glad that I did! She even looks like she has the new mom glow! So happy for you all. Can’t wait until Liza can bring him home. Great job on the show & tell also!
Thank you Connie! We are hoping for a quick process but so much of it is out of our control. We’re in that “hurry up and wait” stage. 🙂
Excellent job on the show and tell, as well as the site. You’re doing great! So glad to see Baby T and Liza together too!! Please keep us updated!!
Thank you Erin! I’m doing my best! 😉
Great job and thanks for sharing the adorable picture.
Awesome job on the shop, you did great. Congratulations on your son, I was adopted 50 years ago so adoptions hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you Debbie. We’ve received so much support in this process so your words are very encouraging!
