Closing Down

Thank you for the prayers during my morning sickness. I really appeciate everyone who checked up on me and asked me how I was doing. In the last few weeks I have begun to feel better, but have realized how precious my time is. During the 2-3 precious hours of my daughter's naptime I have so many things to do. When I don't nap with her :) I need to fold laundry, sweep floors and clean-out closets. With summer upon us and my other daughter being home full-time and the baby arriving in early September, I don't see myself having any more extra time. With that, I am sorry to say I will be officially closing down my blog. One day I might possibly start it back up, but it will be after much prayer about how to spend my time. Thank you for taking the time to come with me on this short journey of attempting to save money in East Texas. God Bless you and your families!

I'm taking a break


Hi everyone! I'm sure by now you have all noticed that I have not posted lately. Well, the reason is morning sickness. Yes, that's right, my husband and I are expecting our 2nd/3rd child (Depends on how you count :) We are very excited, but I am also really sick! My husband is doing the grocery shopping for me and as of right now I can barely look at the sale ads without feeling quite ill.
Saying all this, I will be taking a break from blogging for a few weeks or even months (Please pray that God is gracious and I am not sick into my 7th month like I was with my first). I will be back as soon as I can enter Wal-Mart without gagging :) In the meantime, if you would like me to email you when Emily's Savings is back up and running please email me at smile0104@hotmail.com or leave me a comment with your email address. You can also become a follower of the blog which will automatically send you all my posts.

Thank you for being patient and I will be back as soon as possible!
