Hope For Haiti

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Haiti Earthquake

What if this were your child…your husband?

When you see news this devastating do you feel like you can’t do anything to help…do anything to make a difference?

Yes we can pray, thank God, but like it says in James 2:17 we need to add some action to our prayers.

“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” (NLT)

Jenny at  Simply Delightful Designs has made a easy way for all of us to add actions to our faith.

She has started a blog where you can buy raffle tickets to try to win wonderful donated prizes.  (Or if you have a business you can donate products.) All of the proceeds will be given to Compassion International and The Red Cross.

I have donated $40 worth of prints and have bought a few tickets as well.

You can help. Let’s work together and touch this nation with the love of Christ!

Seasonal Food Chart

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I have been trying to compile a list of what foods are in season each month.  Not only will the food taste better, but it will be a lot less expensive!  I was giddy when this little gem showed up in my Google reader…

Chart by Leon

Chart by Leon

(The chart was made by the Leon restaurant chain in London, but since British weather is very similar to the climate of most of North America, it works well for most of us.)

You can get your own chart here…for free!

How Do You Find A Good Sale?

1215579_sale

Have you ever bought something and then seen the same thing a week later….on sale?  I have and it’s really frustrating, especially for big ticket items!

I just ran across a great post that shows what months that certain groups of items are on sale.  You can check it out here at Life Hacker. You can thank me later. {wink}

Now, dear reader, how do you find good sales?  I can use all the help I can get!

For more Q & A head over to Works For Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family.
