By Diana, Contributing Writer Christmas is my favorite day the year. I'm a stickler for tradition on Christmas Day. Each year, my boys and I wake up in the darkness of the early morning. I put on a pot of coffee while the boys take turns jumping on dad, screaming that it's time to wake up. As a family we sit in a circle, hand-in-hand, in the living room while Dad leads us in prayer. We thank God for the gift of his Son and [...]

Ten years and [...]
Welcome to the third week of the Eat From the Pantry and Freezer Challenge! Find out what it's all about or read my post from Week 2. My update as I head into week three: This afternoon, we went to Costco with some friends. Walking around was pure torture for my husband, who kept noticing all sorts of tempting and yummy-looking items. Each time he would look at me and go to put something in our cart, I said, "No, we don't have any extra grocery money this month". [...]
Welcome to the second week of the Eat From the Pantry and Freezer Challenge! Find out what it's all about or read my post from Week 1. My update as I head into week two: The first week of these challenges are usually the easy ones. Last week it just felt like I was trying to focus a bit more on using up some things we have a lot of. My meal plan still came together easily for this second week, although I'm starting to get just [...]

What I've spent so far I had about $230 remaining for the rest of May out of my $450 budget (the other $220 had been spent at the beginning of the month). I've set aside $150 cash for my savings, which I'm not allowing myself to touch. The other $80 is being used for: Raw milk, free range eggs, sour cream [...]
