In our pursuit of living frugally and naturally over the years with a growing family, having a “Mama’s Toolbox” of sorts has been imperative. Over time, we also relocated into a more remote area, with limited access to healthcare resources (especially natural ones). In talking with a local friend awhile back, we Continue reading Mama’s Toolbox   My friend Katie of Kitchen Stewardship has authored some of my most-referenced cookbooks over the years. Her ebooks are the first ones I turn to when I want a good snack for summer travel or a frugal potluck meal. The pages I’ve printed off from her ebooks have that well-loved look any cook is familiar Continue reading Frugal Nutrition Tips: Should We Eat Beans?
Mother’s Day always brings myriad emotions and memories. The “what ifs” and “if onlys” seem to sneak their way in. The years of infertility and miscarriage are part of our story. The heartache molded us, changed us, and deepened life- even today. Adoption, Pregnancy and Birth are now also part of our story… chapters we imagined Continue reading Grief & Hope of Mother’s Day This sale is now over. The books are available for purchase individually, if you are particularly interested in a certain title, but the bundle is no longer available. You already know I love the thrift store.

I recently read Trina Holden’s new book, Embracing Beauty, and I’m so glad I did! I really needed that little extra help Continue reading Wardrobe Style from the Thrift Store Embracing the seasons of motherhood often means blessing others who have spiritually and physically mothered and mentored me, rather than focusing on my own season. I love surprising these dear ladies with a special gift and note just to show my appreciation. What better occasion than in the coming month, with Mother’s Day approaching? I have also Continue reading Mama’s Gift Guide & $300 Value Giveaway!
One of the most challenging aspects of being a homeschool mom right now, is probably my preschooler asking, “Please do school too, Mommy?” Each day goes much smoother when I have options, simple supplies/resources, and some fun ideas to keep him busy, entertained, and learning! He is loving learning how to read, count “huger” numbers, Continue reading Preschool Bundle Sale!
