Speaking of Life

I just found a great blog dedicated to life when I was researching certain company's links to Planned Parenthood. It is www.erasetheneed.wordpress.com I was looking at the October 7 entry regarding the Susan G Komen Foundation and their link to Planned Parenthood. Things in life are rarely cut and dry but there are a lot of shades of gray for us to grapple with. This entry helped me to decide what I think is right (from a Catholic perspective). I hope that you will visit this site and talk with others about this important subject.

An update on the 40days for life campaign going on until Oct. 31st (you still have time to fast and pray!) as of day 20 238 little babies have been saved! How wonderful keep up the good work out there! Our school is going to Planned Parenthood this Friday to pray, will you pray for an end to abortion too? God bless.

Saving money

This week I attended our Mother's group and they had a great subject this meeting-saving money!  Two of the ladies shared some wonderful information with us about coupons, freebies and their strategies for saving in their households.
They shared that you can download coupons right to your Kroger card!  How wonderful!  Printable coupons are available at http://www.coupons.com/ and http://www.print.coupons.com/  Daily deals can be found at http://www.groupon.com/  A good blog out there to catch deals is http://www.gooddealmama.com/  There are so many ways to save out there once you start surfing the web on this topic there are hundreds of free products and coupons to be had.  Happy shopping!

Another school year

Well, the older 3 children have been back to school for about a month now. I think it is safe to say that the family has adjusted to the dramatic change in routine. We are happy with Lumen Christi Catholic school it is a great fit for our family with daily Mass (in Latin 3times per week), a classical curriculum, faith filled teachers, and wonderful families. The decision to stop homeschooling is a good one for us, I now have the time to spend with my 2 little ones still at home as well as to join the local Bible Study and mother's group both of which are great for me. Also, I am able to get most of the rest I need for my pregnancy.
The adjustment to a new school year always takes time and effort. I think we are off to a good start so far. Adding in football for my 9 year old and soccer for my 8 year old has added quite a bit of extra running around that we hadn't had to deal with before but they both love it so it is worth the extra effort. I hope your family is transitioning well to another school year. God bless!

In this post I am trying out my new iPad that my husband got for me for our 10th anniversary. What an amazing device! Our wedding was on August 25. What an awesome day that was! Over dinner we were remembering our happy memories of which there are so many. God has blessed us in so many ways and for that we are truly grateful. We look forward to many more happy years to come raising our children and serving God as best we can.
My posts have been few and far between this summer mainly because I have been so sick with this new little one I carry these days. School has also started so that has been another adjustment for our family. We had a wonderful vacation that started with a brief visit to West Chester,PA. We were able to see some of our friends and that was such a great beginning to our vacation. Then we were off to Ocean City, MD for a week. We met up with my parents and my brother and we all had a great time together. We had good weather and the children loved the beach. I will post pictures soon!
