Good Morning Everyone!
How has your week been? In my neck of the woods, the weather this week has been glorious, finally dipping down into the mid to high 70’s during the day! I love being able to turn off the air conditioning and get fresh air into the house! I am especially trying to enjoy it since the weather prediction is for it to get back up hot and humid again this weekend.
What frugal things have you been able to do this week to bless your family? My favorite frugal find this week has been a free online class that I found available for the month of August on the subject of Prayer. I have been going through this Prayer class this past week, and have been blessed by the thoughts and advice shared. If you are interested in checking out this free online class, you can read more about it here:

With the nice weather, we have also been enjoying smoothies for several different days this week. And since I make smoothies with only healthy ingredients, we even eat them for breakfast! This morning I was wanting to use up some of the things in my freezer, so I went in search of what could be made into a smoothie. I had my base of frozen bananas—which I found this week at a 25% discount at our local grocery store, discounted because they were spotted and soft, but that is the perfect type for things such as smoothies and banana bread! I then found a freezer bag of frozen mango pieces. I had found mangos on sale a while ago, and bought several boxes of them. We ate many fresh, but finally they all started to ripen at once and I had more than I could eat without them spoiling first, so into the freezer they went. Today, those mangos came out and went into my smoothie along with the frozen bananas. They were yummy, and made for a wonderful and refreshing breakfast!
So there you have it—a couple of the things that I have been up to this week. What ways have you found to bless your family?

So funny you mentioned making a smoothie - I just made one also from odd things. My oldest son purchased strawberries when they were on sale and just threw them in the freezer with the green tops and still in the original plastic container. He had no idea you needed to wash them, cut off the tops, then put them in a baggie. He is slowly adjusting to the bachelor pad apartment life. We enjoyed the strawberries he left behind in a smoothie tonight.
