How to be a Smart Shopper!

Our guest speaker Margaret Kirkland showed us some savvy ways to save money while shopping!  She gave us some great tips on what websites to use and how to make the most out of using coupons.  Margaret uses her talents as a coupon expert by donating many of the items she purchases to those in need.  

Moms were given the opportunity to discuss and reflect on Matthew 6: 31-34 encouraging us mothers to trust in the Lord who will provide what we need.

Stress discussion and Accessory Swap

Moms were treated to a yummy breakfast by the Marquis table!  Thanks for the delicious food ladies! 

Moms participated in an interactive Bible study regarding 'stress'.   We were given the opportunity to discuss how stress impacts our lives as mothers and how we respond to that stress.   Each group was given a chance to reflect on Mark 4:38.  Thanks discussion group leaders for leading a great discussion.

Our  Accessory swap was lots of fun and a huge success!  Moms were asked to bring in some of their gently used accessories and 'swap' them for some different ones.   Many of us walked away with some different accessories to add to our wardrobe! 

Our walking club will begin its morning walks on Wednesday, October 12 at 8am.  Meeting location will be at Cesar Chavez Park by the playground.  We hope many of you can join us! 

Our next meeting will take place on October 20th, we will have a speaker who will talk about Smart Shopping.   The Princess table will be hosting this meeting. 

We hope we can count on you to support our upcoming Garage Sale on October 22nd.  The garage sale will be part of Dobbins Point Community wide sale.  We are in need of donations.  Please contact us if you have items to donate!  We would really appreciate it! 

We are in the process of planning a 'Frugal Friday Movie Night' stay tuned! More info to come! 

See you soon!
