Magnificat

MommyInChief — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:11:19 +0000

My soul magnifies the Lord,
My heart joys in God my Saviour.
For He lifts the lowly
He’s done great things for me!

I will sing praises evermore,
He is mighty..
And holy is His Name.

Coupon Savings

MommyInChief — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:28:05 +0000

I recently started couponing again. I have been learning the Coupon Mom system of saving and it has been paying off. We are working on reducing our grocery bill, contributing regularly to our local food bank and supporting our country’s troops.

I have also learned a lot from several different websites like Coupon Cravings, Deal Seeking Mom and many others that I will link to later.

Here is a my latest shopping trip at Harris Teeters. With sales and triple coupons, I was able to get these groceries for $3.24. Most of the items were free, one was $1.00 and the others were under $.40 each.

Cheerios
Spray & Wash (2)
Mt. Olive Relish
Mahatma rice (6)
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner (3)
Yakisoba noodles (3)
Wacky Mac
Welch’s grape jelly (2)
Sure deodorant (2)

Wildlife in suburbia

MommyInChief — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:33:10 +0000

We have a lot of wildlife that visit our property…rabbits, all kinds of birds, squirrels, deer and recently a black bear!

A few weeks ago my son informed me that there was a nest in a tree just outside his bedroom window. After several tries, I was able to catch a robin family in action on video. It was fascinating to see God’s creation this close up. In fact, since I was shooting the video through an open window, there were times that it seemed that the parent was looking right at me and might take flight at any moment and take aim for me!
I hope you enjoy it and watch to the end for a sweet surprise.
