Help for Haiti

I haven't been good about keeping this blog updated in a while, since my pregnancy and birth of my baby, but oh well! :)

Haiti has been hit hard this week, our thoughts and prayers are with them. Things have been really on our heart as a family since we have family members from Haiti. 13 years ago God blessed our family with twins from Haiti. I was almost 18 at the time, so there is a big gap in siblings in our family! The twins, Anna and Austin are now 13 years old. Their mother died in childbirth, and their father wanted to keep them, but it is so improvised there, he knew they would have a chance of life somewhere else, so he gave them up. At the time of their birth there was a mission team there from the states, so that is how we heard of their birth ans were able to adopt them. The doctor that delivered them, Dr Markee, still does mission work there and left 2 days ago for Haiti to help there. Please pray for him and his wife, Linda.

Please pray also for the twins father, who we have some contact with (through the Markee's) His village was just north of Port-au-Prince. We are hoping we can get word from the Markee's.

The children's home that the twins are adopted from is very unique, they are very small, and have one adult to 1-2 children. It is a very loving christian environment. There children's home is looking for donations so that they can rebuild. I like the idea of giving to them, because someone needs to help the people of Haiti rebuild there city. Please give if you can.
Check out their blog, they are keeping it updated.

Triples are back!!!!!

Harris Teeter has brought them back!:) We thought they were over, but this week Aug 12-18 Harris Teeter will be tripling up to $.99 cents. Time to go through those coupons. Check out www.hotcouponworld.com for match ups.
If you do go and snag some great deals, feel free to share your deals here with us!

Harris Teeter, SUPER DOUBLES!!!!!

Yes they are trying something new, they will double up to $1.98 on June 24-30. I think the 20 limit will still apply. Remember that Harris Teeter is cracking down on 20 coupons doubled or triples per day per household. This means you can no longer go to another store in the same day and do 20 more coupons. IT used to be that your vic card will let you do 5 transactions in one day before the system would not let you do it. Well acording to my Hubby who works for HT, says they have changed the vic cards, they will only let you do one transaction per day. I have not tryed this out for myself.

Free Brithday Goodies

My husband and I both have birthdays coming up in the next week. It's nice to go out and not have too cook for you birthday, but wouldn't it be nicer if it was FREE?! I have found a bunch of places that will give you a free meal or treat on your birthday. Most of these places you have to sign up for their e-club, and they will send you a coupon. I think I am just going to be driving around town and getting free food all day!:)

There are quite a few more out there, but this is what I cam up with so far. At Red Robin, the coupons can be used within 14 days, and if you have more that one person with a birthday in that time period, you can use 2 coupons! So I know where we are going for a free birthday dinner!

Free Kraft BBQ Sauce

Harris Teeter is running a great deal on Kraft BBQ sauce, the deal ends today though. If you buy 2, at $1.69, you get 3 free. If you go here, http://print.coupons.com/CouponWeb/Offers.aspx?pid=13306&zid=iq37&nid=10 , you can print 2 coupons for $1 off of 1. Since you are buying 2, you can only use 2 coupons. Plus, when you buy those, a Catalina prints out for $2.50 off your next order, anything!!!! Not bad!! With summer around the corner, it sure is nice to had BBQ sauce on hand.
