Family Matters

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year...  It's the start of the Cool weather....  Christmas is my favorite but Fall to me is sort of a kick off.   We decided this year that we were not decorating for Halloween.  However I had to make a cute little stop @ my front porch.

I'M BACK!!!

Well  I bet you are all wondering what happened to me.  lol  RIGHT!!!  Well it's a been a crazy week for the Hansen Family.  Labor day we took a little break and enjoyed the long weekend off.   Started of with the RELAY FOR LIFE FLOAT that we put together for the local Parade.  It was great!!!   LONG PARADE that is for sure for small town.  We enjoyed the day off swimming @ Lake Denton in Avon Park.  Snorkeling was amazing.  We didn't spend time in the boat as our new storm floating off the coast of Florida kick up quit a bit of wind so it wasn't an easy task. 
Our house has been so quiet....  We have 3 miniature dachshunds so when the doorbell rings well.....  you can only imagine.  Slinky, our oldest had developed a hernia which decided to take a toll on his tiny body the LABOR DAY weekend.  Low and behold Dr. Bryant @ our local vet took care of him.   He had to have surgery to correct and fix the hernia and 2 days later since the hernia was pulling on the muscles it decided to create a pinhole in his bladder.  So Slinky is on the road to recovery.  I would appreciate the Power of Prayer from everyone for his quick recovery, as my kids are patiently waiting for him to come home.

I haven't had to do much shopping these days to give you guys some breakdowns and great deals.  However now that we have rotated my pantry and my freezer, it's that time again.  I will be posting some EXCELLENT deals that are in the upcoming sales flyers. 
I do know that Publix has the $10 gift cards when you spend $50 which work great for the  Needing the Meat days...  I know that is exactly  where I will be getting my $50 bucks worth the groceries and taking advantage of using the $10.00 gift cards. 

Kids have started FOOTBALL   which is one of my favorite sports....  I love watching it and now that my son is finally able to wear pads, it's going to be GREAT watching him play and his sister cheer.  She definitely has been waiting patiently to get back cheering. 
I hope everyone had a safe Holiday Weekend and look forward to getting back on track with my BLOG.  


Cheerio!!!

Garage Sale

Keep an eye out!!!   We are cleaning out the old.  I have decided that it's time to clean out the toys, clothes, linens, furniture  and cabinets.  Kids are growing so fast!!!!   It's so hard to realize that until you see them wearing something WAY TO SMALL.  I guess my eye opener was shooping for school clothes.      I got the clothes done.... and some of the toys so we are finishing it up.  I was hoping to do the sale this weekend but we put it off due to Irene.....  NOW, Thank you GOD!!!   that Irene has decided to stay off shore, we are back to cleaning mode.  I am pushing to have my garage sale by Sept 17th.  I will be posting some of the pageant dresses on EBAY as I think they will sell better there.  If you are interested, contact me and I will gladly sent you pics.  Thank you guys for helping me make this a GREAT SALE!!!   Keep checking back.

THIRTY-ONE PURSE PARTY

THIRTY ONE PURSE PARTY

 I am attending a party this evening.  You may or may not know but the name Thirty-One comes from the verses of Proverbs 31. These words may be thousands of years old, but I am constantly amazed by how today's modern woman can relate to them. The Proverbs 31 woman is dearly loved and respected by him and her children, yet she is an individual in her own right. She manages the home and property with kindness and integrity. Her savvy business skills are partly brought about by her desire to serve others, to do good deeds and prosper. I knew women just like this, and I wanted to find a way for every woman to be recognized for who they are and for their hard work!

One of my friends is hosting a party.  Check out the 

 Fall Catalog for some really nice ideas.  

August has a really nice sale going!!!  If you are interested in Purchasing/Hosting or information about ThirtyOne you can contact

Alissa @ alisapadgett31@gmail.com.  

Be sure to tell her how you heard about ThirtyOne!!!

Lake Denton Camp/ Family Matters

As some of you know I spent a week as the camp cook and a camp councilor.  It was an amazing experience. I stayed busy that is for sure!!!    I had been there before back on Spring Break however this was twice the kids and twice the fun.  I learned allot about my family and what matters the most to me.  I recently found myself wrapped up in so much and was going a mile a minute.  Being @ Lake Denton with my family and spending some very much needed quality time it brought both Bryan and I back to focus..... the things that mean the most to us and doing what we love!!!!     We studied for a week on Nehemiah from the KJV of the old testament.  Makes you wonder what happens that is for certain.   Kids had a fantastic time and so did Bryan and I.  It will take us a week to re coop that is for sure since Bryan was the camp medic for 2 weeks.  He had his hands full, luckily nothing drastic happened, just a few snafu's.... but all in all  it was well watched over.  I will definitely recommend Lake Denton. 
We met some fantastic people and heard some  awesome testimonies from them.  Makes me realize how lucky I am and what I can look forward to.  Having GOD in our lives will certainly keep my family on the right track and focused.    Bailey accepted Jesus into her heart and has chosen a path to do the right thing and learn as she goes.  I have to remind her often  What would Jesus Do.....  she learned alot from camp and I will be sure to remind her of it all!!!  :)  Both the kids made some great friends as so did Bryan and I.  We are so looking forward to seeing them again and camp in October. Tanner had an exciting time.  He was the 'camp clown" as usual.  He's a good kid and everyone enjoyed having him around.

 If you are interested in Lake Denton you can find them @ (click here) Lake Denton Camp
 Thank you again and may God Bless your family as he is mine!!!

WORD TO THE WISE

I've been asked  by several people to host a coupon class or workshop.  I've not had the time to be able to do one.  However,  I have been approached by several people and managers in our area that there are workshops that are happening in our area @ this time.     I don't think some of the stuff being said  in these workshops is COMPLETELY the way TRUE couponing is done but you have to use good judgement and know if you are doing something wrong.....  you will get caught!!!
 NO  it is not Melissa and I having these workshops and or getting busted doing things wrong not to mention ILLEGAL!!     I'd love to make some extra cash but I just don't feel good about taking money where money is trying to be saved by all of us.....  So with that being said...  I help where I can help and it's called PAY IT FORWARD!!!   :)   If you need help with ideas or couponing....  I'm a phone call away  ( email to some of you) !!!    Good luck and I will do what I can to post what I can to save some mullah!!!   :)
