PRAYERS

Please pray for me and my family as my mother passed away last night. All five kids in town were able to be around her bedside and then she quietly passed away in her sleep at 12:30 am. It gives us great comfort to know she is in God's arms. My mom was a very strong Christian and was witnessing 2 weeks prior to her going home. Heaven opened up its doors and rejoiced as she was escorted into heaven.

It is still very difficult for me because you always need your mother. Pray that God gives me the strength to get through this difficult time. I know He will give me peace and I thank Him for all the years we had with her. We were told 37 years ago that she was going to die of Hodgkins disease. God had other plans. He was not through using her yet.

BENADRYL ITCH CREME

Make sure you get the Benadryl Itch Creme for $.39!! There is a $2 off coupon in the 6/19 RP and stack that with the $2 coupon in the Green Adv. Flyer. The Benadryl is priced at $4.39 so get a tube for $.39 each. This is great to have on hand for bug bites especially if you are campers like us. It seems like the mosquitos LOVE me!

HEALTHY EATHING

I recently came across this blog and found it very interesting! If you are trying to eat healthy you have to check out this blog. It is called www.100daysofrealfood.com and she gives ideas and recipes. Even if you pick and choose the ones that your family will eat it will give you an idea of different items to cook. I want to try the Jambalya recipe. It even tells you how to make Emerill's Homemade Creole Seasoning using spices you have in your kitchen already!

Check it out! I think you will be surprised at some of the healthy tasty dishes she comes up with!

Here is a sample menu plan to get you started for the month!

Here's another menu plan and yet another menu plan

CHEAP WRINKLE RELEASE AND ANT KILLER

I stumbled across these ideas the other day and thought I would pass them along. If you are looking to stretch your fabric softener, this one is for you.

Put just under 1/4 cup of fabric softener in a spray bottle. Fill the rest with water and shake. Spray on wrinkled clothes and shake out or give them a stretch. You can also spray this on your clothes in your dryer.

Having a problem with ants? Spread Cream of Wheat the day before it rains and the ants will eat it. When it rains the ants will drink the water which makes the wheat swell and it kills them!
