I Could Have SWORN I Had Salad Dressing…
We had company over on Wednesday and I went all out (as I love to do) for dinner. Lasagna, green beans, garlic bread, and homemade apple pie for dessert. I even picked up an $0.88 bag of mixed salad because, hey, it was only $0.88. And I didn't have to buy salad...
Works For Me: My New “Dryer”
Yeah, I don't have a dryer. Did you get excited? Sorry. In case you didn't already know (and you must not frequent my blog if you don't - because it is one thing I do like to complain about), I don't have a dryer. I don't have a dryer hook-up. I don't even technically...

Ten Painless Ways We’ve Saved $100 This Year
I hung my clothes out to dry. We used cloth diapers. And cloth wipes. I learned to play the CVS game. I made my own laundry detergent. (Until that proved problematic.) I stopped going to the mall. We rented movies from the library. I made our meals from scratch. We...
We’ve Been Hurt
Some people in our Bible study have said and done things to hurt us. They talked behind our backs instead of confronting us. They doubt our parenting skills with Olivia. (They see her lack of sharing and worry that we encourage it.) They think that keeping Benjamin...
