"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. . . . We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith." -Margaret D. Nadauld
Teaching my children manners is a top priority to me. There are so many people out there who do not use them and I swore my family would not fit into this category. So after years of saying, "what to you say" and "because we need to be respectful" I think that at least one child is getting it now without having to be prompted!! Miss Michelle has really matured a lot lately. I am so proud of her and yet it makes me so sad to see just how fast she is growing up! She honestly has been the perfect child for about a week now and I am loving all of the tender moments! I think one of the cutest things she said was when I was tucking her in bed the other night. I told her that she was such a good girl that day and how happy that made me and her daddy. She said yeah, I want to be a good girl lots of days so I can go to kindergarten! Hey whatever motivation works! I love you my sweet beautiful Michelle!
Almost! I was looking through adds yesterday and Albertsons is having a sale on flour. Here's the deal it is Pillsburry Flour, the 5 pound bag for $1. This is crazy good! In fact when I went shopping yesterday the everyday low price at Wal Mart was $2.38. So to say that this is a good deal is an understatement! There also is an explanation on homework for shopping over here!
This photo describes exactly how our attempt at family photos went tonight! Thanks Amy for putting up with us!
and do you also have a GPS system? If so be careful. I guess that a new thing is happening where people will go to an event that you are at (say a football game) break into your car and check the GPS system for "home". They then will drive to your home and they have the garage door opener right there and will invade your home and steal your goods. And because they have an idea as to how long you will be at the football game they know how long they have, approximately, until you get home. So change your "home" address on your GPS to a nearby gas station or grocery store. That way when you need your GPS to get you home you will know how to get home from that location. Just be careful out there!
This is the last day for some amazing deals at Fry's. I just went and bought 6 types of items and spent $45.01 and saved $71.56. (Remember this is without any coupons. I know you can save even more but frankly I don't have the time for that.) I didn't need any off it. But man when they are giving it away might as well stock up!
Also if you can try to set aside some money for food storage as a lot of the "basics" (i.e. flour, sugars, baking goods) go on sale during the holidays and it is a great time to stock up!
