I’m pretty excited about this… talk about a special treat! Free mineral make-up at Ulta! We have one that is on the way to Wal-Mart– I’ve got to stop there to pick up a few things for the classroom tomorrow! Might as well stop by Ulta! If you live near one, you might want to [...]

Ikea savings!
This weekend, Ikea is serving breakfast for free! I also wanted to share that I found some great deals when getting stuff for my classroom!
They are currently selling their summer potpourri for just $.25!! I got some for parent volunteer gifts and such. They also gave me 3% back for using my debit card, which [...]

Super Savings Saturday!
In my earlier posts, I have talked about how the hubbie and I are working on cutting back on the budget… we are trying to pay for seminary in cash!
I originally cut back our $50/week budget to $40/wk. Secretly, meaning in my head, I have set a secret goal of $30-$35/wk. It’s certainly challenging, but [...]

Frugal Friday! I’m Back!
It’s nice to be back to my sweet little blog!
I took a long break as I was getting ready for the school year. I had my first ever open house and it went so well! I’m going to have a classroom full of rambunctious kiddos this year!
If you have read some of my earlier posts, [...]

I’m a little swamped…

It’s called [...]

The blessings getting even sweeter!
Today at church, they had a fun little giveaway. We are having a church BBQ next Wednesday, and as a promotion for it, they put little hot dog pictures in the bulletins. Only two bulletins had pictures of steak instead of hotdogs. Whoever had the steak pictures got steak! We got one of those bulletins! [...]

This site is fantastice because you can download the size that you need for your computer screen making it very easy to put them onto your desktop. I don’t know about you, but I get tired [...]

Its in the little things…
Yesterday I received an outpouring of encouragement from so many on this blog. I am so grateful for your prayers and encouragement as Nathan and I strive to pay for seminary without debt. We have received an abundance of small little blessings that have just added up to one big confirmation that we have made [...]

Having Faith…
I’m going to be a little brutally honest in this post.
Nathan and I had a long conversation last night about seminary. We really aren’t sure how the numbers are going to fall. I can plan and stretch all I want, but from what I can deduce, there is not enough cash to make it to [...]
