October 2009

FALL is here. This is my favorite time of year. Coloring changing on the trees, warm nights by the fire, football games. What else could you ask for.

I am going to really try and learn this blog thing, so I can post on it reguarly. I can not seem to figure it out and I am pretty computer literate.

On another note, please pray for our family as we are praying for some direction in some life changing situations.

God Bless!

AUGUST ALREADY!!!!!

It is hard to believe that we are 2 weeks away from school starting. The summer has gone so fast. We did spend 10 days at Virginia Beach, which was AWESOME. This weekend is my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary and we are having a party at my house on Saturday. Next weekend my whole family is going to Gatlinburg, TN for 4 days to celebrate with my parents. I can not wait to go and bring back all of the good memories that we have from there.

Continue to pray for Stellan, who has had a wonderful week of no SVT. Also, pray for Lori who is patiently waiting for her TA to go get her daughter in China.

Is it really July??

Is it really July? Here I go again saying, where does the time go. I cannot believe we have been out of school for 6 weeks. Before you know it, it will be time to go back. Wal-Mart already has there school supplies out.

The 4th of July is a wonderful time of year. I LOVE this holiday. It is just a time of reflection for me. A time to be thankful for this nation and all of the men and women serving our country. I love the fireworks, parades, cookouts and just spending time hanging out with my family.

Please remember to pray for DW and Linn over at A Place Called Simplicity. They are wonderful people who have been tried over and over again this year to be defeated by Satan. Right now, DW has an illness and needs prayers. They are a wonderful family who walks with the Lord each day in everything they do.

Meijer Grocery Sales

If you have a Meijer in your area they have great sales this weeks. Many $1.00 items and alot of them have coupons to go with them. Meijer doubles coupons up to .99 also. They also have there Lysol cleaning supplies on sale for 1/2 price this week. There has been .50 coupons in the paper the last few weeks. Meijer will double those, which means you will get cleaning supplies for .09 and .39 What a deal!!


Happy Shopping!!!!!

Being Frugal

I was reading Lori's post this morning at Joy Unspeakable about being frugal. I thought that each day I will try to share a tip or a savings that I have come across during the week. I love coupons and great deals at the store. Walgreen's is a great place to save money and get many things for free. We have enough shampoo, toothpaste, cleaning supplies to last a life time that I have gotten for .25 or Free. I love to go to the grocery store and save half of the cost of my bill with coupons and weekly sales. I can almost do it everytime.

To start this off, everyone needs to go to www.thethriftymama.com
This website is constantly updating all day long with great offers and deals. I love it. You can also print many coupons from it on your home computer that work great at any store that will take coupons.

Enjoy the beginning of SAVING A TON!
