*Rainy Day Coziness*
We had one of those perfect rainy days over the weekend.
The kind that just sort of gives you permission to stay in cozy flannel pants and sweatshirts and not really do anything productive. The sort of day that calls for lots of cuddles and snuggles and warm baked goods.
After a slow morning of breakfast and devotions and Bible story time with miraclegirl, it was time to dip into our big library bag that we had filled the day before. We read and read and read, snuggled together on the couch, with the rain falling on the windows beside us.

Hope in Miscarriage: Reflecting the Father's Heart
I have a friend who has been going through an absolute nightmare the past month. My heart aches for her beyond words.
Too slow-rising HcG levels. The threat of it being tubal. Then, a recommended D&C for a missed miscarriage since nothing showed in a tubal . . .
Oh, but wait. . . now there is a sac showing up. . . so let's put the D&C off. . .

My favorite America's Got Talent Moments
These sisters aren't all that astounding musically, compared to others that have come down through the line-up, but their story and their perseverance brings tears to my eyes.
This guy just melted my heart. I'm sorry he didn't advance in the competition and I hope he makes an appearance in the music world in coming months. Once again, we are clearly shown that you can't judge a book by it's cover--at. all.

*Coupon Sites*
Now that I have a car *insert happy dance*, I can actually get out and take advantage of weekly sales and bargains.
I am exceptionally thrilled about this! I have long envied women who save hundred of dollars each month because they know how to work sales, rebates, and coupons.
Launching a "help me" request on Facebook, resulted in me being pointed to several great sites, which I am finding worthy enough to be posted on here.
First was the thrill that Target has coupons you can print off and combine with other coupons.
Then, Stonyfield, one of our favorite companies to buy yogurt products from, has a fantastic reward program, as well as printable coupons.
Then the sites, that very helpfully provide RSS feeds right into my mail folder so I don't have to haunt their website multiple times a day:
