There is no such thing as a coincidence!

I have been planning the girls' birthday parties for a few weeks now...The fact that their birthdays are two weeks apart does not make it easy on my stress level or our bank account...
I always have these huge dreams about their parties...Dreams that aren't indicative of our wallet. I imagine yards of tulle, twinkle lights, and glitter. And tasty finger foods. And candy. And punch. And cake. And...There I go again!
I have been obsessing over these parties. I talk about them to Rob and he gives me the "and who do you think is gonna pay for all that?" look.
I promise all this has a point...Bear with me!
I found the most gorgeous birthday invitations for Leah's party from tinyprints.com. They are exactly what I had been searching for: a precious little ballerina invite with soft colors and flower accents. They are slightly more expensive than the pre-packaged ones that I could get at Party City. Okay, a lot more expensive!
Well, y'all, God is good! He ALWAYS gives me what I need...Today, He gave me something I wanted! I opened my email this morning to discover that the website RueLaLa just came out with a new division for kids...Guess what one of today's deals was?? $20 for $40 worth of invitations from tinyprints.com. Coincidence? No way! Thank you God for a 50% discount!
