Frugal Friday, Inexpensive Way to Share Good News

We had our ultrasound yesterday, and were able to find out if our baby is a

boy or a girl.

This is how we shared it with our family...

We took boxes like these:

When you first opened the box, you saw these:

Next were sachets similar to those below, filled with spice:

On the bottom was a wooden block my hubby made, and we used stickers to spell out N-I-C-E!

(I randomly found this cake idea--isn't it cute?) check out more here: http://fabulousfunfinds.blogspot.com/2008/07/baby-block-cake.html

Our family was thrilled to hear Baby Koala will have a baby sister!

Renew My Strength...Again.

I've taken a break from blogging, limited my bargain shopping, meal planning, etc--and am really just trying to make it through each day.

We lost a very dear friend recently--suddenly, unexpectedly. She was 26, and leaves behind an 8 year old son and many family and friends.

It has shaken us up in so many ways, and oh, I miss her so!

Great deals don't seem important, but I am still committed to learning to be a good steward with my money. I will re-focus on it eventually.

I talked about Renewing My Strength earlier this year...

http://koalamama.blogspot.com/2009/01/renew-my-strength.html

I'm re-focusing on this verse, and praying for strength.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 31

Blessings,
Tara aka Mama Koala
