Rethinking Frugal

March 23, 2011

It’s easy to get caught up in deal shopping.  Bringing home a buggy full of cleaning supplies, makeup products, toiletries, and prepackaged food for pennies on the dollar is a thrill. As most of you know, in 2007 we found ourselves knee-deep in about $40,000 of debt.  I became a homemaker in 2004, and we [...]

Another weekend flew right by me!  We had another crazy weekend, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! {I’ll share more on that later this week!} I planned my menu for this week, last week, when I realized that Monday was here–and I didn’t have a plan!  Since we get paid bi-weekly, I shop [...]

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

March 11, 2011

My family and I are on a mission to get rid of the excess stuff.  Through this process, I’ve often considered making our own deodorant–but that’s as far as I’ve gotten.  After reading Amy’s experience {and success, in Texas!} it’s something worth re-thinking!
