Brand New Baby Girl Things

Thanks to those who are so willing to donate new baby girl clothing and things to a needy family. Please bring whatever you'd like to give on Wednesday.

Wed. Dec. 2nd Reminder

December 2, 2009

This month we will be exploring our roles as Ourselves.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!!

One Minute Question: How do you find time for yourself?

Toy Swap: Secretly raid your kiddos toys for any that they no longer play with but are still in good condition. Bring them to the next meeting to trade for new toys. If you would like to be super sneaky you can drop your kids off first then run back to your car to get the toys. We will save time in the end to stash your new acquisitions in the car before picking up your kids. This will save any heart ache from kids who see that someone has “their” toy or for you to save new toys for Christmas presents.

Topic of Discussion: Our Free-time. (I know, I know, what’s that? It’s been so long you have forgotten what it is.)

Meetings are held each Wednesday at First Baptist Church in Anacortes from 9:30 – 11:30. All ladies welcome!

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hey Girls,

A couple of weeks ago we were discussing some ways to clean with hydrogen peroxide. I noticed it's on sale this week at Walgreen's, and I just wanted to pass on the deal:

Regular price: $0.89
Sale price: 4/$1.00 with in-ad coupon (available at the entrance to the store). That's a savings of 72%! Ok, so yes, it's less than a buck to begin with, but if you're using a lot of it, that can add up. According to "my source", there doesn't appear to be a limit, but I haven't seen the actual ad yet to see for sure.

In case you didn't get to hear the tips that were discussed, here's a couple of sites that I came across tonight:
www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com
www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/h/hydrogen-peroxide.htm

Happy H2O2!

Just an Add on to Last Week

Okay, so I keep running across this poem when I get all caught up in "my stuff" and forget that God has given me these 2 precious people to raise. This is my assignment and calling for right now.
I thought of it at MCB last week and wanted to share it.

-Stacy

I Took His Hand and Followed
Mrs. Roy L. Peifer

My dishes went unwashed today,

I didn't make the bed,

I took his hand and followed

Where his eager footsteps led.

Oh yes, we went adventuring,

My little son and I...

Exploring all the great outdoors

Beneath the summer sky

We waded in a crystal stream,

We wandered through a wood...

My kitchen wasn't swept today

But life was gay and good.

We found a cool, sun-dappled glade

And now my small son knows

How Mother Bunny hides her nest,

Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows.

We watched a robin feed her young,

We climbed a sunlit hill...

Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky,

We plucked a daffodil.

That my house was neglected,

That I didn't brush the stairs,

In twenty years, no one on earth

Will know, or even care.

But that I've helped my little boy

To noble manhood grow,

In twenty years, the whole wide world

May look and see and know.
