What makes me happy today?
A new playhouse hand built with love....
The joy of discovering something new.....
Capturing pure joy...
The ability to be able to pucker up my lips and whistle...
Stealing Kisses on camera....
Knowing my kids are loved....
Watching my girls grow up in a church family that loves them....
Being able to teach my girls the most important thing....All about God's love!
What makes you Happy today?????
Be still and know that I am God... Sometimes that is not exactly the easiest thing to do. Sometimes when you get still your mind is racing a million things... constantly turning and bringing more and more things to your attention. It is THEN that you wonder why you ever took a moment just for yourself. BUT THEN there is that moment when you finally relax and tell yourself to calm down ... to breathe... and somewhere in that moment you find... PEACE.
One thing I have learned through my new venture of being still is that I have to be patient. This is not exactly the easiest task for me. I am patient to a point. When I do the dishes I am patient for them to get done. When I lay the kids down for a nap I am mostly patient for them to go to sleep. Then there are those times when I sit down and try my hardest to let God in SOME way fill my being with stillness and peace and I find no patience at all. BUT FINALLY, it is there. And I find Him, and I know peace.
I have prayed so much recently for God to show me guidence. I have prayed for Him to fill me with knowledge to find my path, Courage to continue on the way He has mapped out for me (no matter how far out of my comfort level it may be) , and wisdom to follow His plans to the best of my God given abilities. I know God wants us to take the risk of being still.... He has so much to say... But sometimes I am afraid of what He WILL say... But I am willing to take the risk... I am willing to Listen as He says, "Betsy Ann.... Be still and know that I am God."
I have decided to post a few BEGINNER deals on here. I am going to do this WITHOUT coupons so that those who are just starting can find some good deals, too!!
First, in order to be able to start doing cvs deals you DO have to shell out a little cash to get some Extra Care Bucks.... soooo......come to cvs with 10.00
If you don't have a cvs card ask for one and you can use it right then. they will give you a form that you can fill out and bring back to them later.
First deal buy...
one colgate 360 tooth brush 3.99 each
one aqua fresh extreme clean or advanced toothpaste 2.99 each
total after you scan your extra care card is 6.98 plus tax
extra care bucks that will print out on your receipt
3.99 for the toothbrush
2.99 for the toothpaste
Second deal buy....
1 colgate 360 tooth brush 3.99
1 cvs allergy relief 24 hour 5 count (compared to claritin) 3.79
total after you scan your extra care card 7.78 plus tax
Give them your 3.99 and 2.99 extra care bucks from last purchase
new total will be .80 cents plus tax!
extra care bucks that will print on your receipt
3.99 for the toothbrush
3.79 for the allergy relief
save those extra care bucks for next time and I will come up with more deals for you... in the mean time... get the sunday paper and start clipping coupons... or leave them whole and clip them as you need them.
Let me know if you tried this!
If you only want to go with 5 bucks for the first time....
Buy one colgate 360 tooth brush 3.99
pay 3.99 plus tax
you will get back 3.99 extra care bucks
second deal
do the same thing
give them the 3.99 extra care bucks from before
you will only pay tax.
The paper says that you can have a limit of 5 times per card...
REMEMBER to split up your transactions or you will spend WAY tooooo much out of pocket.
I try to limit myself to 3 transactions per trip.
Let me know if you try!
