3 Easy Ways to Be a Thrifty Wife and Mom
3 Easy Ways to be a Thrifty Wife and Mom As I was praying today what I should write about for “Thrifty Thursday” (as sort of my weekly theme), the Lord brought to my mind Proverbs 12:27 which says, “The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.” How does this verse tie in with thriftiness? Have you ever brought home a bag of potatoes and then ended up having to throw half of them out because you avoided peeling and cooking them?

What do I weigh now that the holidays are over?
What do I weigh now that the holidays are over? Well, I finally took the courage to step on the scale yesterday morning to see what damage had been done over Thanksgiving, Christmas, my Anniversary and Birthday celebrations. To my big relief, I weighed 5 lbs less than the last time I had climbed on that scale which was before all the holidays. Did I avoid eating? Uh…I would like to say that I turned my head and snubbed all those tempting foods, but even a mouse has a hard time resisting stepping onto the mouse trap when there is savory food right before him. I would say that I…
