Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
While I love the thrill of finding great deals at the thrift store, I’ve learned something. Cheap doesn’t always mean second-hand! In fact some of my best deals were on brand new items. I’m not talking brand-new items you chance upon in the thrift store. I’m talking clearance racks at department stores! Now is the time to find next winter’s clothes. Right now! While I love Kohls, and Elderbeerman, for their high quality clothes that are decently priced. When it [...]
It’s that time of year again, when most of us get a nice big check in the mail. So, what are you doing with your tax refund? It’s easy to see a number larger than most of us see in our accounts at one time and think we deserve to go on that shopping spree and buy those shoes, or truck, or, well, just about anything we may have been drooling over in the past few months. And I’m not [...]
For a week or so in January we left the cold winter weather of Ohio and drove to the Florida Keys. So today I want to share with you a few ways to save on vacation. 5 Great Ways to Save on Vacation: 1. Determine your priorities.

As a Good Steward I need to track my spending. But how do I do it? As a teen I remember how thrilled I was when I was given my first real spending money. I was 15 and mom started paying me a little each week for helping out around the house. (As the oldest of 6 in a farming, homeschooling family, you better believe I earned it!) I was thrilled to have money to spend on myself. But I [...]

Last week I showed you the wreath I made, with out having to buy a single thing. Today I wanted to share a bit more of my fall decor on a budget. You know when you walk into a house and the first thing you see is this lovely mantle, perfectly decorated? Well, that’s not my house. I don’t even have a mantle. I know, I know, pity me please!!! However, I do have a really awesome bookcase. And in [...]
Due to some changes in spending the hubby and I are making, I decided I had no need to buy things for fall decor. In fact, I am not really one to decorate much anyway. Not that I don’t enjoy it, but that I lack inspiration. However when you are a blogger, or you read blogs, there is so much inspiration out there that you “just catch it”. So now, I have all these ideas for decorating and no budget. [...]
I absolutely love thrift shopping and the Salvation Army Family Store in Piqua suits me just fine! After meeting a friend for breakfast, I decided it was time to do some shopping. I love how the salvation army store prices their clothing. They use five different colored tags and every day, one of the colors are half price. But, on Wednesday all the colors but one, are half price! So Wednesday is the day to go! Another cool thing is [...]
Alrighty, I’m back with another Quick-Tip-Tuesday! The quick-tip I have for you today, is a cheap and natural way to clear clogged drains and pipes. All you need is vinegar and baking soda. I am going to clean the drain that has my garbage disposal in it. I love my garbage disposal, but greasy food particles can build up in it. Causing the water flow to slow down, and the kitchen to stink! Because the drain hole for the [...]

They have a little 31/2 yr old boy that they are in the process of adopting also.

A good friend shares the savings! That being said, I am very grateful for the friend who introduced me to Ebates last year around Christmas time. Today I am going to be that good friend and (attempt to) explain how Ebates works. Ebates has developed advertising partnerships with hundreds of stores online. A store such as Kohl’s will pay Ebates a % of every sale that Ebates sends their way and then Ebates gives a portion of that % to people [...]
