TTAH Tuesday – Shopping for Bargains

OK, readers, if you haven’t ever done it…
go shopping at a Salvation Army, Goodwill, or Volunteers of America.
If you’re seriously into saving some money, then you seriously need to go bargain shopping at one of these places.
I know, I know.  It takes some time to get used to the idea of wearing someone else’s clothes [...]

A little bible study, anyone?

Our MOPS theme this year is called the Adventures of Mothering, and the theme verse is Ephesians 3:18.
Our first MOPS meeting is a week from today, and in preparation God has laid it on my heart to read and meditate on this verse every day this week. 
Ephesians 3:14-21
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from [...]

TTAH Tuesday – Daily Prayer

Sorry I kept you waiting so long for this post that I promised you last week! 
I am discovering that daily prayer is vital to my emotional and spiritual health.  And I don’t mean the “Lord, help me”, 2-second variety (although that’s certainly better than nothing.)
I’m talking about having a set time where I sit [...]

I’m a bundle of quirks…

So my friend Pamela commented on my last post and let me know that she meme’d me.  I’ll be honest with you and let you know that I had absolutely no idea what that meant (hey, cut me some slack, I’m new to this blogging thing!)
After some investigation I discovered that all I had to [...]

on my mind…

Just a few thoughts for this morning…

I really hate it when politicians use scripture, but don’t actually admit that it comes from the Bible.  I saw an ad recently for a local politician who said his grandfather told him to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.”  This is obviously from Micah 6:8 “He has [...]

feeling old

For many years now, I have continued to think of myself as just out of college and starting out in life.  Well, I turned 35 this year and I’ve realized now that I’m just kidding myself.
Here’s 5 things that have been making me feel older recently:

We went to a wedding a month or so ago.  This was the [...]

TTAH Tuesday – Ready for school?

Is getting your child ready for school on time going to make you pull all your hair out before Columbus Day??  Then this tip is for you…
During my oldest child’s kindergarten year (after the excitement wore off), getting her ready for school felt like a battle.  Every.  Single.  Day.  I felt like I was nagging [...]

The Cold, Hard Truth

A couple of weeks ago my childhood friend, Melanie, came over to visit.  It’s great to see her and we should definitely do it more often!! 
Anyways, she made a comment to me (I’m paraphrasing) about how I’m the kind of parent she thought I’d be – no yelling or anything. 
I almost laughed because it’s so [...]

TTAH Tuesday – Big Savings

Happy Tuesday!
Today is the first day of school, and because I’m enjoying my time alone with my littlest one, I’m going to make this short!
I found this website over the weekend and thought I’d pass it along to you.  It has great links to free stuff, online coupon codes, and links to printable coupons as [...]
