A Few Blessings of the Week

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

TGIF? It’s been a good week and I am very much pleased with that. I got a bit of art done, I upgraded my wardrobe ( it was much needed), I’ve been getting together baby things to swap at church, my husband got hired at his job… all in all a good week.

I’ll probably blog more later to let you know how my day goes but I wanted to get that little tidbit in before Melody wakes up this morning.

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

It’s that time again for the The Alzheimer’s Memory Walk and I’d like to encourage you to show your support.

One way you can show your support is by participating either by finding a local Memory Walk in you area which can easily be found by entering your zip code here: http://www.alz.org/memorywalk/. You can also support this cause by helping with fund raising by sponsoring a walker or by making a donation over at the Alzheimer’s Association website.

I know how this disease can touch a families life and effect it so greatly. That’s why it is so important to me that fundraisers like this one are available and give us all a chance to fight back to get funds for research that will help rid this disease for sure.

My dear husband wrote a story about Terry Pratchett and Alzheimer’s here that he asked me to share it.

Memory Walk is happening all across the country. If you want to find a Memory Walk event in your area, just go to http://www.alz.org/memorywalk/ and enter your zip code. If you are in my area the next memory walk will be held in Portland, Oregon September 28th at the Pioneer Courthouse Square.

GREAT NEWS

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

My husband is no longer a temp ( had been for 9 months)! He got hired where he works at today! Now no more worries! We will finally have the benefits of insurance and everything! It took a while but God answers prayer! We need to celebrate some how! Yay!

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Mark 11:24,25 NIV

Just Pennies!

I believe now more than ever before, that we need to be saving our money! Look how economy has gotten… just this year we’ve nearly had to pay $5.00 for a gallon of gas and the price of food has also gone up a bit! That’s why we need to be reevaluating our purchases and looking to see where we can even just save dollars if even not that pennies! Money is money and even if you are saving a little next to a lot that’s better than nothing!

I wish my family taught me how to handle money a lot better… don’t get me wrong, I haven’t been going around blowing it on things because I always knew it was better to have savings and not to blow it on useless stuff that’s just going to deteriorate over time. I just wish I knew the ends and outs better! I wish I knew how to create and stick to budget.

Well when my husband and I found out we were pregnant with my daughter we were a stick in the mud, so to speak! My husband was struggling to pay his bills and we had no health insurance! I was super stressed out but thanks to our church family, we were helped out in a big way and now we are back on track with little if any debt!

So, some of the ways we save money are as follows:

1. We use coupons when shopping off or online!
2. I wash laundry one a week instead of several times
3. I use sunlight instead of having our lights on to waste energy during the day
4. I turn off and unplug appliances and computers when not in use
5. We try not to make to many trips out of town if not needed…saves on gas!
6. Paying bills on time is a big one… we don’t need the extra fees!


So feel free to share some ideas of how you save money too! You can learn more about how to save and improving your financial stability http://www.bills.com/iq/ . It’s a great site for Debt help and
Debt consolidation. What are you waiting for, Consolidate debt and Debt relief is just a click away!
