Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, spring break is almost over! it has flown by, but i must say it has been the best spring break of my life. why? b/c we stayed at home all week. me and the kids. Mike was off 2 days. we tried and tried to plan a trip to branson, but at the last minute we just could not pull the money together, and now i know why. God used this time to put back into perspective how important real, quality family time is. in fact, i really will miss my kids next week. we connected all over again and i watched them grow. i love knowing everything my kid ate in the day, and i love not hurrying them out the door. i love cooking for them, and i love building monster trucks out of cardboard boxes. i love playing shool in pajamas, and i love hearing them work out their own problems. thank you God for the gift of children. and thank you God for opening my eyes to see them as a gift!

"Grace, Grace, God's Grace....."

don't you love it when the Holy Spirit is obviously convicting you of something. this song has been in my mind for a week now and i can't stop singing it! God has been teaching me grace. sometimes i get carried away with the truth of things and forget god's perfect grace, and that He wants us to exhibit that same perfect grace! Not that truth is on the sideline, but truth and grace must be balanced to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. when we have too much truth we become judgemental, too much grace and we become silent.

WalGreens!!!!!!!

today i bought 6 right guard deodorants, 3 bottles of purex laundry detergent, 4 bars of dial soap, 4 bamboo cooking utensils for 1.72! is was so fun! they were out of the razor that i went for but still got some good deals!

FREE JEANS!

no joke i scored some free jeans at target. target's website has awesome coupons. i suggest when you see them print them immediately because they go fast! so i printed 2 of the $5.00 off any women's jean coupon. then i went to target and they had jeans on clearance!!! $4.98. target does not give overage, but FREE! i got 2 pair and they are pretty cute....
