I'm an ADDICT! US on the NEWS!

Hello, My name is Jen and I'm a COUPONOHOLIC...

I have been OBSESSED LATELY..
With Couponing..I DREAM about deals and coupons!

WHY have I not done this earlier?

Most of the stuff in our tiny stockpile below was either free or SUPER CHEAP!

We have saved SO MUCH already in the few weeks I have taken this on!

It only took ONE FREE ITEM AND I WAS HOOKED!

So..Instead of blogging, now you know where I have been :)


Our press conference at The Kansas State Capitol was AWESOME!

Helping Other DRUG ENDANGERED KIDS!

Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas has signed a proclomation making APRIL 26, 2011 DRUG ENDANGERED CHILDREN AWARENESS DAY!


A couple of weeks ago we went before our county commissioners who have also declared the entire mothe of April as DEC Awareness Month emphasizing April 26 as DEC Awareness Day. A story about our family is included in all the media information being sent out to our state.

I called our local Child Social Services Agency and asked what we could do to help Drug Endangered Children.

She said that they are ALWAYS in need of diapers so we are doing a diaper drive. In addition to that, she said that many kids who come into custody are afraid and lonely so she thought tied fleece blankets would also be a good idea for them to have something to "attach" to.

Our family is collecting diapers as well as childrens themed tied fleece blankets. The kids have had a ball making the blankets.
I think this mission is SO IMPORTANT.
OUR KIDS WERE THESE KIDS
who got taken away from their parents.. They may have benefited from diapers or one of these blankets.. It makes my heart sad.. But HAPPY that God has given us the PASSION to help others out!

Please pray for us as we will be speaking for 3-4 minutes in a Press Conference held on the Capitol steps on April 26th! Pray that God will give us the right words to say. Words that may help someone... Words that may influence someone to adopt or stop using drugs..
