I know. It's been a while since I've last posted. I feel so busy. My number one priority is homeschooling. I can't seem to keep up with myself lately and it's not even the holidays that's causing it. Actually, in my first year of being frugal, I feel the least stressed about the holidays. I have no guilt about not spending money on presents. My goal is to enjoy this time of year, and give as my heart tells my to. Maybe I will make a little something for everyone. Maybe I will sit down with Makayla and help her make a homemade gift for all of her cousins and friends. Maybe we will be too busy with every day family things to do any of these things. I don't know what will transpire, but I know I will have no guilt, no anxiety and no debt!

About Me
- Mon
- Missouri, United States
- Since the creation of this blog, a lot of changes have happened. I have gone back to work and Tim stays home with Ruben, now 2. Makayla, 8, attends school. God continues to make amazing changes in our lives. It may seem odd that Tim stays at home, but God has really shown our family many blessings in this situation. Now we are seeking God's will in our life together. We have a desire to learn to live off the land and get back to the basics. What better than to be able to spend more time with family, then your co-workers. By the way, I do like my co-workers. It's totally God that has put me in my position at work. We are proving that it's possible to live off a one-person (lower) income. It's not that we go without, but our focus has changed. Through all of this we are praying and believing that God will raise up a ministry for us so that we can share the gospel of Jesus with others. I enjoy knitting and reading non-fiction when I find a good book. I am still searching for new ways to save money, but I don't have near the time anymore. I hope you enjoy this blog and find some helpful and good ideas to use. Please leave comments!

I must admit that I will purchase gift for several people this year: my father in law, mother in law, and Brian's grandma. Only bc they don't quite "get" the frugal thing completely. However, they don't expect much, at the same time.
I am so excited to make items for the rest of the family. More so, b/c nobody else expects anything. It makes it so much fun! All of us kids drew names, but last year I found time to make home made truffles and gave a box to everyone. The enjoyment factor was absolutely a 10! If I don't have time - no worries - but I love to see the surprised look on their faces (maybe I should skip a year so it remains a surprised look... hahahaha).
