Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful,

for the beautiful weather

A husband who is taking us fishing

My 6 mth. can sit up

And, my 5 yr old who is so sweet to me,

A family I can be thankful for, thank you Jesus.

Have a blessed Memorial Day,
blessed from what others have done on our behalf.

Here I go, again.

Look what I've been doing this weekend.

I payed, $1.50 for the decor wall hook, we needed this for the backdoor to hang wet stuff, from the pool.

The fruit stand was $1.50.

The ball sprinkler NIB, was also $1.50, and may make a nice B-day gift for Noah's friend.

And, a collection of little things that IMO, make a house a home.Even a journal for my hubby, that he'll take to Honduas.

One of my fav. blogs is doing a Family Tip Friday.

http://www.becentsable.net/


Yes my 5 yr. old son does the dishes ! This makes his toys last, because they stay cleaner, from his "dishpan hands",lol.

This is a great way to include Noah into my daily routine,
we blast the radio, make jokes, and have even been know to dance our "tuck in dance" between the wash and rinse cycle.

I've found this a great $ saver, by not running dishwasher often,
his future wife will love me,
and he learns to be part of the working family.
I could say to him, "Momma doesn't have time to play, now".
But, instead I've chosen to say, "Come along side of me and have fun in this task".

Families are so challenged to stay close and spend time as a unit, and not divided by extra events.
It's easy for me to send him to go play, but rewarding to say, stay here let's play together. I hope you can come up with good ideas to draw your children to your side, as it will produce a closer family .

Here I go, again.

We finished the book!
This was our nightly reading, and gave way to many deep conversations with Noah.
I also felt challenged in my spiritual walk.
It's a story of Christian a boy who started his journey alone to become a believer.
His testimony leads other kids to be believers in the Good Prince.
I highly encourage you to get a copy of this classic for your child's summer reading. It's an easy read, broke up into short chapters. Uses some old English made which it fun to teach new vocabulary words and quizes at end of chapters.
I happened to purchase this at a thrift store for .50, as you can see in the pic. A tiny tag is the orginal list price of .95.

TUESDAY TIPSTER,

Last week I took Titus to the Baby Dr, for his sinus infection.
"Not being afraid to ask", (my tip to you) I told the doc how i've been using the recommended formula, then asked for another sample. "Well this office is closing today, so please take them all Mrs. F". She gave me $75.00 worth of formula, oh happy day to my wallet ! And, the office we're moving to is 1/2 a mile from your home. Yayyy ! Now, i won't need to drive into the next town. So, don't be afraid to ask !
