I have been reading many posts lately about not sacrificing nutrition in the name of frugality. As I have mentioned before, my family has never eaten better since I undertook the task of bringing our grocery expenses under control. Menu planning and cooking from scratch are the solid foundation on which my savings have been built - NOT on [...]
I am continuing my journey through How Did I Get So Busy? by Valorie Burton. She says that “if you are going to overcome busyness and embrace a self-care lifestyle, you must gain control of your technology habits now.” Well this is definitely an area in which I struggle.
So reluctantly, I have put most of my yahoo [...]
Today I had a laugh at the supermarket and it wasn’t over the ridiculous price of milk or eggs. I was picking up the loss leader sale items (about a dozen) at a local store.

We use it to spray and wipe the counters and tabletop in the kitchen. It is used daily by the children during chores to wiped down the bathroom counters, sinks and [...]
I happened upon Restaurant.com as I was browsing the internet just before Christmas. The site offers gift certificates for local restaurants at significantly reduced prices. As my husband and I usually go out to dinner once a week for “date night”, I decided to give it a try. I bought a $25 gift certificate for $10 [...]
For the last fifteen months or so, I have enjoyed the great privilege of having most of my house cleaned every other week by a wonderful cleaning lady. The decision to get someone to clean my home was born out of desperation. I was completely overwhelmed with an almost two year old who was perpetually ripping apart [...]

St. Gertrude’s Prayer Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy divine son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
