Welcome

I have been mulling the idea of this for quite some time. My original thought was to put it in book form, and maybe eventually I will, but for now, this will be the medium of choice.
I am happily married...more happily now than 13 years ago when we first said "I do." I've learned a lot over the past decade, and enjoy sharing what I've learned with others. We have four children, two girls and two boys each of which are less than 2 years apart. You will probably become rather familiar with them if you follow this blog regularly.
The "Red Flags" portion of the title refers to watching for warning signs while dating to make sure you are not about to make a costly mistake. The "Green Grass" portion moves past the wedding to being married and having children and learning to love your life and not long for something different (the idea of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence). Green Grass will include my musings over the everyday "ruts" that I have learned to appreciate and love. The "Blue Plate Specials" will probably be what most of this blog will be about. In this section I will post frugal recipes and fun, inexpensive things to do with your children.
Your suggestions and questions are welcome...
