Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 44
Happy Monday and thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at a few things faith, family, and home!

The next few weeks may be a little abbreviated, as we will be on vacation, but I hope to be able to share new “beach” insights. The Lord always seems to speak during early morning walks along the beach!
I know we all need a vacation on occasion, but sometimes you need a vacation from just getting there. As I am experiencing that right now, I was reminded of the devotional Jay wrote a few year’s ago, Wednesday’s Enchilada Special. It is true and a little funny.
Whatever you are planning or not planning to do this summer, make it a good one. Always remember to:
- Take advantage of time.
- Continue to grow spiritually, even while traveling.
- Thank the Lord for the opportunities He give us.
Enjoy and have a great week!

Money Saving Tip We Just Learned About
This probably won’t apply to many people at this point, but you never know when you may need this.

If you have ever priced new key fobs, you know that they are very expensive! Jay’s only worked part of the time, and when he lost the entire top portion of it, we decided it was time to do something.
We had no idea that you could buy a new key fob from Amazon and have it programmed for under $100.00 (depending on where you live)!

Here is a link to the one we got for my Tahoe.
We found a local hardware store that programmed it for us. There are actually videos on YouTube explaining how to program them, but sometimes this can be tricky, so we decided to leave it to the experts.
Instead of $400, we spent about $105! HUGE savings!
Favorite Items of the Week
We ordered these for our beach vacation. I will let you know how they work when we get back. Most of you probably don’t know, but when I was little, I always thought I would grow up to be an archeologist! 🙂 Here is my chance!

These are some of our favorite things to use in the pool AND at the beach! We just ordered 2 more.

The Top Amazon Links
I feel like I share these links all of the time. However, when people have asked me for them, I have had a hard time finding them in a post or newsletter.

- She Reads Bible (This is the one I get the most questions about.)
- Travel Outfit
- Gravity Induced Cup Warmer – I have one in the house and one in the she shed. I love them!

You can see my favorite items that are on sale, with a few others at my Amazon storefront. See the link below to check them out.
This is interesting – my Amazon storefront shows in real time the trending picks from all of you! The outfit is one of them, but I am surprised by the last one.
Interesting Sites I Found Last Week
There were lots of great posts that I came across this past week. Here are a few of them:
- Taco Spaghetti – by Recipe Idea Shop (I can’t wait to try this!)
- Easy Grilled Skillet Spinach and Artichoke Dip – by Michelle at Vintage Home
- These little miniature terrariums are adorable! One is made out of a salt shaker.
