Good morning my friends.
What a day we had yesterday. I know the tears shed were not just my own. Thank you for letting me take the day off to grieve for people I’ve never met before, but who I know are now on the hearts and minds of strangers all across the country. Although it seems a bit awkward, I will go back to posting deals today, but please know that it’s still on my heart and mind and probably will be forever.
I was reminded yesterday how attached I am to all of you, I wanted to reach out to you as if you were my family while I grieved. I was hoping for your wellbeing and hoping comfort for us all. I visited my favorite blogs and reached out to friends and family to see what they had to say about it – did you do the same thing? It’s amazing how tragedy can make people come together (or sadly pull people apart).
All the posts that were scheduled for yesterday will go up today – including Rite Aid deals, Walgreens deals, Target deals, Retail Round-up, sweepstakes and more. It will probably be a busy day only due to those posts being moved into one day. I’ll try not too post too much on Facebook so you can keep your newsfeed open for connecting with your friends and family, so visit often throughout the day to get the latest.
Yesterday morning I shared this Cream Cheese Spritz cookie recipe! It’s so easy and very frugal because of the simple ingredients. If you like them, I’d love for you to pin them to Pinterest for others to see.
