I've been wondering what to do with all those great Easter candy and toy deals.
Maybe I'll host an Easter egg hunt in my neighborhood! I thought. Visions of little girls in pastel Little House on the Prairie dresses and Easter bonnets skipping in my perfectly manicured back yard came to mind. I smiled at my dream. Then, reality kicked in and I realized that my backyard is far from being perfectly manicured, in fact, it's littered with doggy doo-doo and winter litter. Being a single car family, with 2 full time jobs and loads of other commitments including several birthdays, a play and family members to move in to their new home, it was probably unrealistic to plan something of this magnitude.
Instead, I did decide to give the six small children on my block Easter baskets with all my deals and freebies. I've been wanting to reach out to the families on my block for a long time, and here couponing gives me the opportunity to be a blessing again. Thank God for creative ideas, and for a harvest of souls along with them!
