Lots to do

I have been an ebay'in fool. I realized that I have way too much clutter and way too many old baby clothes laying around the house. I also have begun the adventure of couping and obtaining as many free samples and other free things that I can via many websites and blogs from wonderful people who basically do all the work for me and find all the deals. It is actually very fun and a great challenge to see how much you can save or get for free.

I love checking my mail box every day in anticipation of what may be in there. It is a little like Christmas every day or a small birthday celebration every time I walk down there to check. My daughter also loves to find out what "fun stuff' we may have gotten. She alway asks me "did we get anything fun momma?"

I also feel it is my duty as a christian to be a good steward of all the many monetary blessings God has given our family. I am not good with creating a budget or figuring out stuff like that but finding ways to save money on food and other items is something that I am finding I have a knack for. I also really enjoy it so that makes it easier.

In this same regard, as we have been getting better at being good stewards and because of our regular tithing and gifts to the church and to friends and family less fortunate than, God has chosen to bless us with a very large insurance settlement from our homeowners insurance for a large amount of water damage we had back in December of 2009. We were not counting on nor expecting this money and it is a great blessing to be getting it. God is good all the time.

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
