I would so love to win this, I am so totally trying to get organized.

Striving to be the what I am called to be

I feel like the Lord is calling me and showing me what he wants me to be . I feel like all I have ever went through in my life was for a purpose, in fact I know it was. It all lead me to where I am today. I have a wonderful life! Some may say I would never want to be her but that is okay with me. I am proud of who I am. The Lord has brought me so far. Sometimes I forget who I am suppose to be but when I look in my little bitty baby's face and she smiles at me I know exactly who I am. I am a mother of 7 beautiful children who the Lord blessed me with to raise as arrows for His glory. I am a wife to the most wonderful man in the world. I love my life and if that is all anyone sees me as I am fine with that. I love my life and I totally belive that is what God made me to be. And I am coming to the place that I am so fine with that.

A wonderful post!!!

Breakfast varies for us. We have all different things from cereal to whole meals. Just depends.
Lunches we will start having ramen noodles, different types of sandwhiches, tuna, those kinds of things. We are cutting our budget tons to do Dave Ramsey's plan so our meals need to be frugal. any ideas??? Send me a message.

Changing

I feel like I am changing from the inside out. I think I am changing for the better, I am working hard to be the mother and wife God wants me to be. I want my family to be mostly self reliant so we are working toward that goal. We are starting the Dave Ramsey baby step program. Hopefully besides our house we will be debt free in less than 2 years. And have a good bit of savings also. I am also will doing all this budgeting and trying to be frugal writing a book. Wish me luck on that. I am almost done getting my book on the computer and I told the publisher people I would have my book sent to them for review this week. I have always wanted to write a book but not enough self esteem to think I was good enough to write one. My sweet dh has encouraged me over and over again to try it. so here I am. Pray it works out. I love this time in my life. It gets better ever day. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful,hardworking husband and 7 beautiful kids. WOW!! Just looking at the number 7 is amazing to me. The Lord works on my heart daily and I am so glad he has never given up on me. Pray for us as we go through the debt free journey, pray we can work together to do so. We will have to sacrifice some things to get there but it will so be worth it. God bless you all.

Really cool giveaway!!!! Check it out

Great site for busy moms

Since I had the baby we have not gotten her out much with all the flu and sickness around here. So I have had to be creative. I usually go shopping every Sunday with my menu plan in hand but for non food items I have been ordering from a place called Alice and actually been spending less money . I guess because I am not walking through the store and actually just getting on there during the week and finding the things I need and then just ordering. I would highly recommend it. You sometimes get your package the next day after you order and shipping is always free. And they also search the web for coupons for you and they already add them in for you./ They also havea referral program. IT is so neat!!! Anyway here ya go, enjoy. You can also request for them to start carrying items you do not see on there.
