Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from some of the Phillips family! Looking forward to hitting up the local Southern Georgia Walgreens and CVS tomorrow! Lots of good Register Rewards at Walgreens and Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) at CVS.

Photo Card Deals

Hope everyone is having a great day gearing up for Thanksgiving tomorrow! Just wanted to let you guys know about a couple of great photo card deals going on right now. You can check them out on Sarah's site right here.

I did the deal from SeeHere on Monday night and received my 50 cards in the mail today! I spent about 10 minutes signing up for a new account and picking/editing my card. This was my first time doing store bought photo cards and I am really pleased with the results. And here's the best part...I got them for under $5! (I just paid shipping). Also, when you sign up for a new SeeHere account you get a promo code for 100 free 4x6 prints. So, if you wanted to do traditional cards and just include a picture it would still be worth signing up for a new account.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Encouragement for the Season

With Christmas just around the corner, I can already feel my stomach start to get butterflies. I tend to get a bit stressed about perfect gifts, perfect food, perfect decorations, perfect memories, you know I just want it all to be so PERFECT!

I am trying hard this year to plan ahead, in order to really enjoy the beautiful moments right in front of me. And one of the things I have been working on is stocking up on stocking stuffers for my family.

I read my sister's Christmas list (she is a 26 year-old single gal) and many of her requests were practical items that are just a bummer to have to spend money on (hello, tampons! ugh!). So for the past couple of months I have using my CVS Extra Bucks and Walgreen's Register Rewards to fill her stocking for almost free! The picture above is $18.97 worth of stuff that I got for $1.61 (basically just tax) by pairing sale, coupons, and Register rewards at Walgreens! And the good news is: it's not too late to start saving on the "incidentals" that really add up. Here is a link at moneysavingmom that really helps explain the whole Walgreens system.

Other ideas for those extra drugstore freebies: fill an Operation Christmas Child box, donate to OUR church (Christ Church) to help our refugee families, or get a toiletry box together to give to a woman's halfway house or homeless shelter.

The most meaningful part of the season is to be able to share the love of Christ by blessing others. It's the best way to relieve any holiday stress!
