31 Days to be Thankful Day 4

SO I AM CHALLENGING MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE TO 31 DAYS TO BE THANKFUL! IT IS EASY!  EVERYDAY YOU LIST ONE THING THAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR! I KNOW WE SHOULD DO THIS EVERYDAY BUT NOVEMBER IS ALWAYS A MONTH OUR THANKS COME INTO PLAY!


Day 4!  Today I am Thankful that someway somehow through everything, we always manage a weekly grocery trip. There are so many that can't work it out.  Some days my kids will be griping that there's nothing to eat...when really there is. I just think to myself you could truly be eating only 1 bowl of rice today because that's all there is. I try to educate them. I try to make them make the  best of things.
Thanks to couponing we probably have more of the "goodies" than we would if I wasn't deal breaking.

I AM THANKFUL THAT I CAN ALWAYS PUT A MEAL ON THE TABLE FOR MY CHILDREN!

  2. I need to start this especially since we are only 4 days in. My family is struggling quite a bit right now and I think this would help us all bond a little better

  3. I think all children does that. I know when I was a kid i did it as well. We try to make sure and let ours know when they have take out food that's just a splurge and we don't plan to do it often. I am so thankful that we can do that as well since I know first hand what it means to struggle. Great post. I am doing the same on my blog.
