My pot of gold is being able to stay home with my kids! I am very fortunate that I have the patience to own my own Family Child Care so that I have been able to stay home and raise my children at the same time! My Hubby is super supportive and even let me get my Van so I am able to drive my daughter to school and still be able to take other kids in! Also my Birthday is March 17th so I feel extra special this month!!

The last 18 months have been rough. I’ve had a back injury, a Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis, total knee replacement surgery, a root canal gone bad requiring gum surgery. I broke my finger, tore the rotator cuff in my right shoulder and had surgery, tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder and had surgery. I’ve spent 17 of the last 18 months (including this month) in physical therapy and have taken more pain medicine than a person should. Took a year’s leave of absence from work to help expedite my healing, but back issues still plague me, my knee doesn’t bend completely, I still can’t raise both arms above my head, and the chemotherapy medication I’m taking for the rheumatoid arthritis isn’t improving my condition. And I’m 45 years old.
Despite all of this, I’m thankful.
I’m thankful for my family. For my husband who is now the breadwinner for the family. For my daughter who let me live with her during my last surgical recovery. For being able to, on my good days, do something that will benefit others. Collecting expired coupons to send to military families and making blankets for “Calling All Angels”. My Pot of Gold.

My “Pot of Gold” is a husband who helps with dinner and wrestles with our boys when he gets home from work, who does the dishes, irons his own shirts, makes sure we pray before he leaves for the day, plays basketball with the boys, who works hard and is thrifty so that I can stay home with the boys instead of having to go to work. He helps make sack lunches, let’s me drive the nicer car, he makes milkshakes on Friday nights, and pancakes on Saturday mornings. He makes my life easier and more enjoyable. I love this man!

Memories of the most wonderful Father in the world. The most precious of all gold that can’t be spent, stolen or taken from me. I know he is watching me from heaven.

Dave Ramsey is my pot of gold sent from God. We have been following his complete money makeover book for about 6 months now. I am happy to say that I am out of credit card debt for the first time in 28 years. Now we are working on the car loans.

Even though I have had 3 surgeries in the last 3 months and the copays that go with all of that, I have my husband and 3 wonderful children, 3 step children and a step grandson. my pot of gold would definitely be all of them! No matter how bad things seem to get I just have to look at all of them and now that we are very lucky indeed!!

I have two beautiful girls who I love dearly. Though they are a handful, they are miracles that have blessed my life for good!

My rat terrier- he was from the animal shelter and is the best dog a person could ask for.

My pot of gold is a husband who has told me everyday for the past almost 12 years that he loves me.

I am also grateful for a handy husband! He is able to fix almost everything from our vehicles to squeaky doors. I know we would not be as thrifty without his skills.
Today the sun was shining and the kids and I got a great walk in! It was wonderful. We walked to Rite Aid and saved a ton of $$! I am so grateful for coupons and coupon blogs!!!

My pot of gold would have to be my family. I am stepmom to two wonderful girls that I have raised for the last nine years. There were times in my life when I thought I would never have a child of my own. I started late, my son now 5 years old, was born when I was 34. He is the light of my life. We have been having independence issues lately and I have let him frustrate more than I should. Just this morning I was at my computer doing some work. I could hear him in the kitchen wondering what he was getting into now, when just then he brought me a peeled orange that he had so sweetly cut in half so we could share. He is my pot of gold and I will cherish moments like this for the rest of my life.

Funny I should find this blog today! I was frustrated and feeling defeated this morning. As I told God about it I slowly started thinking, “Enough of this. He knows what I need (I’ve spent my morning boohooing over it). Time to focus on the things I DO have. Give Him praise instead of a constant pleading.” And now here’s my chance with this challenge you’ve given. So, my pot of gold is filled with many things: a great spouse/friend/encourager/lover, a home to keep us safe and warm, two vehicles that work, a dog who (although annoying at times) protects us, three healthy/smart/funny/loving kids, another wonderful child on the way, health and strength in my body to carry each child, family who loves God and prays for me and mine each day…it just goes on and on. Thanks again for the challenge. I hope others are challenged and encouraged as they think beyond their issues and see the “sunshine through the rain.”

My pot of gold is my family – each member is a gold coin. Each is unique and valuable, but together we are worth so much more! No matter how crazy life gets, the happiest times are when we are all together.

My “pot of gold” is my boyfriend. His is my rock and my best friend, and I do not know what I would do without him. He is the only guy who would put up with how difficult I am, and he always makes sure I know how much he loves me. He makes me feel like the most beautiful (and special) girl in the world, and I am so lucky to have him!

A little over a year ago I was laid off work 11 days before Christmas. I had been working in a warehouse as a secretary. I was a little scared how I would pay the rent and feed my two kids until some sort of help kicked in. To add insult to injury we ran out of heating oil. My pot of gold came when I went to the local food bank and they loaded up a huge grocery cart full off food and personal care items. I actually left the food bank in tears of gratitude pushing my cart to the car. I know that the food bank depends on the community’s generosity to stock it’s shelves. I’m a Newbie to couponing… I just started last month… but I can already see the potential that it holds to help others in need. I’m still unemployed but going to nursing school. My goal is to keep getting better at the couponing thing so I can bless others. I know it is the little things in life that make all the difference. Thank you for your website

This happened several years ago but is still the nicest thing anyone has done for me. My sister and her family were moving from Oregon to Texas. They had car trouble and ended up at our house for about three days. We were away on vacation. When we got home my sister was gone but it looked like someone had put a stick in the roof and stirred, what a mess. I do love my sister! I had to work the next day and spent the day lining out my week to get my house in order. Sheets to be changed,laundry to be done,dishes washed, carpet cleaned amd floors swept and mopped. You name it, it needed attention. I got home that night ready to fix dinner and start putting my house back together. I walked in the back door and was met by a smiling husband! He had the day off! Our home shined like a new penny. This man does not do house work (which is fine with me). I got a week back that I thought was shot. He did a wonderful thing for me and I like to tell this story often. I would like to add that there are dishes, certain items of clothing, and a few other things I am still looking for, never found.What a wonderful thing to give me, something that no one can ever take away…a wonderful memory.

I am currently battling a recurrence of cervical cancer with chemo and radiation. I am a stay at home mom who prides herself on being able to do everything for her family, but treatment has made it difficult. Fortunately, I have many “pots of gold.” My friends have rallied and scheduled out dinner duty. One friend arranged to have her house cleaner come to my home weekly (something I can’t afford). Their calls, visits and support are really holding me up during a difficult time. I know none of them will see this, but I am eternally grateful and love them dearly.
My pot of gold is my home with my family.

Today my “pot of gold” has to be my 7 year old, Kaliyah. I home school her and I generally do my house work around her school schedule. Mornings are busy with a 21 month old and my 12 and 16 year olds heading off to school. It seems that I live with 10 grown men and not 4 daughters with the mess they make DAILY! Ok, anyways, My 7 year old says to me today, “Mommy, it looks like you only have to work a half day today” I said “Why, don’t you see the mess from your baby sister, the kitchen from breakfast, the laundry, Mommy will be here all day!” so she replies, “No, Mom, I’m gonna help you so it will take half the time!” We are learning fractions and she literally cut my work in half in her mind LOL. I had to smile and hug her little chubby cheeked self for being so sweet and “helping” Mommy get the house in order.

Whenever I am stressed and feeling overwhelmed my husband does all of the household chores that I would normally do. I often forget to thank him, but this always seems to make my day so much better!

My pot of gold is my two children and my husband. I have the best family ever. My kids are so wonderful. My husband treats me like a princess. I am so lucky to be able to stay home and take care of them.

My pot of gold came in the form of electricity. My husband & I have been able to buy the most beautiful property with the plans to build a small house pay check to pay check. I guess I should mention this is my husband’s dream place not mine. The big problem was that we had not been able to get electricity because the local company had a rule that the foundation had to be in and the walls going up before they would set a pole. We had moved into our camper and used a gas powered generator for minimum power and propane heat for when we were awake. The generator seemed to run out of gas at the worst times and was getting expensive! There was not enough power left to cook a meal. November started getting really cold in the mornings and it was getting rough sticking it out when I was so fed up that I called the guy in charge (the same one my husband talked to) and told him our situation. After making him understand that I WAS living in the camper and that I was cold. I must have sounded really pitiful or he that he was worried about or marriage! We got power a few days later. I can not tell you how grateful one is when that switch is thrown and there is power! We jokingly say now that we have to leave the lights on so that the power company will make a little off of us to make that pole pay.

I set a goal to train for a half marathon. In order to do that, I also would like to invest in a training GPS watch, which will cost about $200. I never splurge on myself like that. My running shoes are always purchased from a clearance rack. But my husband told me to just find the watch I need and buy it, no questions asked. My pot of gold is that my husband supports my goals. My other pot of gold is that my 2 year old loves the jogging stroller!

My pot of gold is definately had found the Light of God. With that I can always see the hapiness in little things and be grateful for all He has given me!

My pot of gold would have to be my children. I’m so blessed. They have grown up to be wonderful adults who are loving and caring. They are always there to help others in need. They always give with there time if they are short on funds.
Misty Spradlin
I’m thankful for a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I love my family!

My pot of gold would have to be my husband. Anytime something goes wrong or something needs fixed, he is there ready and willing to fix it. He is so smart and amazing! My car has been acting up so I have been stranded at home for the last 2 weeks. He has been working on all sorts of problem that have come up with the car. He magically knows how to fix all these things?! Any spare time he has goes to the car so he can get it fixed and I can get out and get my thrify deals!! It has been 11 years and I love him more and more everyday. I am quite lucky in love!
