I love being thrifty. One idea I'll share - I love candles and have some in pretty jars and some in plain glass jars. Once I burn the candle that came in it, I remove old residue, wash and dry, and set them aside to reuse when buying just candles. And the plain round jars I reuse for cotton balls, q-tips or organizing makeup - they stack, too, for space-saving. Hope someone can use this idea :) I saw your website link on christianmoms.com and thought I’d look, and I’m so very glad I did. I love being thrifty.

I do find myself admitting to the Lord that I've messed up. I don't want to take things for granted that He has blessed me with! Debbie,

I agree - this is what we can do to help our households stretch the dollars our hardworking husbands bring home.

You're absolutely right...because the old saying that kids think "money grows on trees" is becoming more and more of a reality. We constantly remind our boys to shut the lights off when they leave a room. (Okay, I'm back now...I had to go shut off my kitchen light. lol) After all, you've got to practice what you preach...kids learn from watching what you do! Rebecca,

I think it is very important to make it a huge priority to teach the children at an early age that even the lights cost you something. I enjoy reading your daily updates.
