Yes, we use that phrase on our kids a lot. With 3 kids it is always about who got more or who did something first. However, it applies to me and my husband too. Our life is not about us, it is about the God that we serve. Our Heavenly Father doesn't always give us what we want, but he does supply our needs. Join us on our journey as we work to put Him first in our lives and not "throw a fit" in the process.

My Kroger trip broken down
When Kroger does a Mega Event, you have to buy 10 of the participating items to get the price. You can’t get 9 and you can’t get 11, you have to purchase in multiples of 10 and you can only do the Mega Event 3 times, per transaction (30 Mega Event Items). You can do as many transactions as you want during the week.
This week’s Mega Event is buy 10 items, get $5 off. The $5 will come off at the end of your transaction. Every coupon that I used was printed from the internet. You can normally print 2 coupons per computer and we have 3 computers in our home, so that is 6 of each coupon for us.
My Mega Event Items in this transaction were…….
6 - Ronzoni Pasta @ .79 ea.

That's pretty much it. Keep in mind that Kroger doubles coupons that are 50 cents or less. For more coupon match-ups for the Mega Event, go to www.southernsavers.com and click on Kroger.
My Baking Day
We ended up with nearly 40 pancakes. I put them in freezer bags and froze them. Now all I have to do is take them out and warm them in the microwave when the kids want a pancake. I am really thrilled about this because if you bought frozen pancakes at the store, you would spend about 1.79 or more for a box of 10. I got 40 frozen pancakes for 79 cents!
These rolls came out so yummy! They didn't look as pretty as I would have liked and didn't rise like I wanted them to. I will make a few changes next time around. I cooked 9 (hubby already ate one), and I froze the rest for later.
