March 19, 2014 by Kendra 23 Comments

Household investments that save money. Sometimes to save money, you need to spend a little. Here are a few of my must-haves for living frugal.

We try to live frugally around here, but that doesn’t mean we never spend money. In fact, there have been times where we’ve made rather large investments that save money. In some cases they quickly pay for themselves monetarily, in other cases, the side benefits help pay for them too. When you want to save money, it can be hard to “let” yourself spend a lot of money on an item when maybe you could get something else a little […]

January 7, 2014 by Kendra 18 Comments

My goal for 2014 is to spend less on food. At the end of each month, I balance out my books and make sure all bills are paid.

We average spending $7 per person per day. 🙁 Bummer! That’s really a lot. I […]

Ways to save money at Christmas by getting creative with gift wrap

Okay, all those pretty gifts, you know, the ones that are perfectly wrapped and sporting beautiful bows? Yeah those gifts, well, they sure aren’t the gifts I wrapped! So maybe I’m a bit tired or maybe it’s laziness due to the little one zapping away all of my energy, but my gifts look anything but picture perfect this year. However, they do have a certain charm all of their own. After all, how many times does a person receive their […]

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?

Being Good Stewards with What God has Given us

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 […]

fall wreath on a budget

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. […]
