Family Movie Nights
I am constantly looking for movies for my family...it is very difficult with 11 kids living in the house, ages 5-22 and a busy one year old.
Some of these we have seen others we are working our way through.
My favorite on this list is PERFECT GAME.
I found most of these movies and great reviews on Common Sense Media. We use it for books and music also.
I would love your favorites also!!!

Budgeting Advice...
Practical Financial
Tips
When it
comes to spending money, I think to myself…
take a deep
breath… S.A.M.!
S: S is for:
A. Simplify- needs vs wants, declutter &
donate
Pope Francis reminds us
to have an attitude of the heart when it comes to living simply.
1. Declutter-keep what you love, would I
buy this again?
2. Donate-find a local easy place for
quick drop off
B. Self-Control-learning to sacrifice
C. Sales- learn to be thrifty, garage sales,
discounts, consignments, and looking for bargains
Food: Aldi, quick sale, meal planning
around what you have and what is on sale, freezer, simple meals, and not
wasting
A: A is for:
A. ASK: Ask God for wisdom and help when
making decisions about spending. Ask
others, before I buy something I usually ask my network if they have one…”
pushy broad”. Pope Francis reminds us to “Help one another, this is what Jesus
teaches us.”
Mt. 7-8 Ask and it will
be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to
you.
B. Be assertive
Lk 18: 1-8 Persistent
widow
A) I tell my friends, I am giving them
the opportunity to get graces by serving and helping others.
B) Build and support through community,
church, family, friends, town. Ex. Freecycle & FB, etc…
C. Be appreciative and thankful to others and God
A) Thank you notes
B) Calling and letting them know how much
you appreciate them
M: M is for
M: M is for
A. Make a Plan
B. Motivate yourself and others
C. Minimize stuff and activities
D. Make do with what you already have
There is so
much you can do to budget and learn to save money but I find the simplest ways
are the best. Each person and family is in a different state in life and all
have to do what is God’s plan for them. Don’t get overwhelmed and keep praying
for wisdom and clarity in all you do.
THY WILL BE
DONE!!! +JMJ+
