Alright I have to go back to the Friday before's post. Another week has gone by! As I tuck my youngest into bed tonight, I stop to think wow take a minute longer and talk to him. He will only be this age for a small time. Before I blink my eyes I will be locked out of his room at night and he will want no part of me staying in is room so long! So once again, take a couple of minutes more when you put your kids to bed and talk to them about how there day went! They will only be this little for such a short time!

Recycling day is today. Remember all papers and catalogs are being collected at NeSmith Elementary to help raise money. Please take just those items up there for recycling.

Jeaneen Eli emailed me about a great idea. It has to do with everyone giving out one or two recipe(s). After we collect enough recipes from all different people that our here from all over the USA, we are going to have a cookbook made. The next plan we would like to do is try and sell these to maybe raise enough money to put a tornado alarm here in Lavon. This will cost quite a lot and so we are hoping to find someone that may know if we can get some money donated from the city or any other donation that may be available. And then we can raise the rest. If any of you know about donations of this type or where to start with seeing what steps need to be started to put in an alarm system please give us an email! We will keep you posted on our progress and hope you will all help in donating a recipe. It is FREE!

Money Savings Tip

Rent out unused space in your home. Do you have an extra bedroom that’s not being used? Rent it out. In our home, we could, if times were tough, rent out our entire basement - it has a “living room,” a bedroom, and a bathroom and has a stairwell right by the kitchen. If we found the right person, this would bring in a lot of extra money.
