Before you start reading, you should click here to follow my blog. Because it’s cool, right? It’s funny how the Lord works, right? They say he works in mysterious ways. This month, I’ve been able to see that. Here I am, planning out this month so that we can save as much money as possible to be able to buy a car. I have all these great plans, and I...

In my quest to come up with some good activities for my almost two year old, I came across an idea from Play, Create, Explore. This activity was easy to prepare and my little guy loved it. It kept him occupied for about 25 minutes, which is house in toddler time. So, what I did was save egg shells from breakfast (we had omelets). I boiled the egg shells and cleaned out...
I have never made clam chowder before… I’m pretty sure that I’ve only eaten it once. But, awhile ago, my husband bought a few cans of clams and asked me if I’d make it. That was like… a year ago. So, I decided it was time to finally try it out. I looked at a LOT of different recipes and decided to kind of do my own thing. It was pretty easy,...
Well, I made it through the weekend with out using any plastic (from my wallet that is). I have to say that it’s hard. I am so used to whipping out those cards whenever I reach the front of the lines without really thinking much about how much I’m spending. It is really nice to not have that “I spent too much” guilty feeling at the end of the...
Every week, I try to be as productive as possible. I like to use my time wisely and get everything done that I need to. I do that by making a to do list every week and every day. I wrote a guest post on a blog called Search with Vonni all about my planning methods. It’s a good one, you don’t wanna miss it! Leave a comment here or on her blog if you like it!...
Each Fast Sunday (the first Sunday of each month), I plan on writing a spiritual post. There are a few other bloggers that also do this that I will link to from time to time. I believe that I have an obligation to share my religious views with others. They bring me so much joy and purpose in my life, and I wish for everyone else to feel that joy and to be able to know...
So, today was the first day of my cash only month, and I have already run into a few hitches. The first one actually happened yesterday when we found out that my husband won’t have work next week. Apparently they are waiting on some parts and have no work for them to do right now.. so all of my careful planning and budgeting got kinda messed up because 1/4 of our...
Pie crust is a scary thing for a lot of people. It seems like its impossible to get it right, and it’s so much easier to just buy a store bought one. But, let me tell you, a homemade pie crust makes a HUGE difference in the quality of the pie. It does take a little practice to get it perfect, but with the right recipe and few tips, you can have a super awesome pie...
In high school, I was really good friends with a girl named Felica (pronounced fa-lee-sha). She even lived with me for awhile. Super good friends. We had lots of fun times. We were on the yearbook staff together, developed pictures all the time, played volleyball together, even “started” a photography business that we named FAME Photography (FAME stood for...
