Frugal Fridays

A friend of mine just recently sent me this link for grocery savings. It’s called The Sisters of Savings and if your familiar with the grocery game site it appears to be alot like it. There is a great message board for helpful hints on cutting your grocery budget.

Who are we living for?

The other morning while I was driving to class, I was having a conversation in my head about God. I tend to do this on a regular basis in the car, it seems to be the best environment for any serious discussions with myself Lately I have had many conversations with many different [...]

Menu Planning Monday

Keeping a grocery budget to $40.00 a week is a lofty goal, and it’s turning out to be harder than I thought. Although I still have faith that I can do it. The fact that we are being forced to purchase another vehicle is helping with the motivation to keep trying. This week I spent [...]

Call me Martha

It has been over a week since I have been able to sit down at the computer long enough to actually blog something. These past few weeks I have found myself being pulled in every direction and with very little time to actually rest. I think I have been busier than even when I was [...]

Two Left Feet

Frugal Fridays

It’s so annoying to have a service such as cable, phone, electricity or any other kind of service and to then see an advertisement or get a mailer that has the same service listed for cheaper then the price you are paying. What we do when this happens is call our service and ask for the cheaper [...]

Too Precious

I have such wonderful children! They truly are the bright spots in my day. I can’t say that every moment of every day I relish the job of motherhood, but there are very few times when I think I need a break!  Today I was reminded of one of the reasons I’m so blessed. I [...]

To be young again

The conversation went like this: Zoe- “Mommy she (her cousin) has my pretend kitty” Me “Why don’t you go get another pretend kitty” Zoe (looking sad) “ok” she leaves, she returns “Mommy I want her pretend kitty too“
It’s so funny to watch them at this age, they have such imaginations! Zoe has just started pretending.  And right [...]
