One of my many projects

For the past two weeks I have been trying to get ready for a children’s consignment sale. I have taken on this monumental task of going through every article of clothing the children own and all my maternity clothes not to mention toys and misc.  This has created what you see. The clothes have completely [...]

It’s in the attitude

Woe is me. That has been my mood for the past few days. In all honesty this week has been terrible. I feel a little like Job did from the Bible. Not to complain, but to give you a glimpse into our lives; We have been hit with some rather large unexpected bills, I have [...]

Blogversary

It has officially been a year since I joined the blogging community, I can’t believe it.  And to top it off a few days ago I reached my 10,000th visitor. I know that for some of you that happens in a day but for me it’s big stuff! It actually means I have a [...]

Frugal Friday

I have a section in my home management notebook with a list of free or almost free ideas of things to do in our city. I am always adding to it when I hear someone share an idea or I see an advertisement for something in a magazine, on TV, or on a billboard. I [...]

Weighing in Wednesday

After the disappointing weight loss of last week, I bounced back with a surprising loss of 3.6 Lbs this week. Yay!!! I haven’t been too good about writing everything down this week, mostly because I have eaten out or at friends a few times but I know that writing down the foods I eat has [...]

Car troubles… or not

There are few things that strike fear or worry in me. One of them is going to the car shop. The air is out in our van, and with this ridiculous, and I mean ridiculous Texas heat there is just no way to live without the air. Even just driving a few miles with the [...]

Saving Money Saturdays

In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.  Proverbs 21:20
We have been really motivated lately to get out of debt. We recently paid off our van and one of our student loans and although we had to pay those off in order [...]

Frugal Friday

I haven’t done a frugal friday  post in a while, so I thought I would throw one in today.  My tip is on menu planning. I have a house hold notebook that among other things I have a section entitled meals. I sat down one night and wrote a list of all the dinner meals we [...]

Heard at our house

 
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Mathew 19:14
Life with children is never dull. These are just a few things said or overheard here lately.
Zack has to put an ey at the end of a lot of his [...]
