Where do I begin? Hmmm. Kevin and I have been experiencing the hand of God is some undeniable ways these past days. Our plan for our lives has been, well, uprooted. In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis says the only way to truly hand over our whole selves to God, is to “be ploughed up and […]
The One with the Business Card
What a perfectly fantastic day for garage sale shopping. (I would just write “garage saling” but “saling” just doesn’t seem proper. I’m pretty sure it’s not a word at all. But that’s the word I say when I’m going shopping at garage sales. Oh well.) I had checked out Craigslist all week to scope out possible sales. There […]
The One with the College Graduation
I think by now you understand that the four years I spent at Spring Arbor University were some of the most formation and more memorable years of my life. People always told me that college were the best four years of their life. I wasn’t sure how that was possible. High school was awesome for […]
The One with the Surprises
Today I shared more of my grocery ways with the world. Check them out. And please feel free to ask any specific questions you’d like addressed. If I can help one or two people become more shopping savvy, I will be thrilled. I also wrote about French Bread. And Pappa al Pomodora. Mmm. Why three posts […]
The One with Mes Meres*
Yesterday was a national holiday celebrating MOMS! How awesome is that?! A day set aside to appreciate our moms the way we should ALL year long! I think most people claim they have the best mom. But I think I win this little competition. My mom has always been an irreplaceable part of my life. And […]
The One with the Garage Sale Tips
edited to add: Check out this awesome site: Yard Sale Treasure Map. Garage Sales. I’ve always loved them. Mom used to take me garage sale shopping with her all the time. We hosted a garage sale or two as well. But those aren’t nearly as fun. Seeing how Friday and Saturday are just around the […]
The One with a Walk with my Red Headed Canadian
I think we’ve established that I have amazing friends. One of those friends turned 24 this week. Brittney, my Brittney. She was there for me on day 1. When I first met this bubbly, red-headed, Canadian I had not the faintest idea of the friendship that would emerge. Brittney and I met on Freshman […]
The One with All the Friends
Am I the only person who has trouble not writing everything she is thinking? I would have no problem sharing these thoughts, feelings, musings, rantings, or circumstances. But then I have to thing of the consequences to publicizing said ponderings. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to do that. But people could be hurt. Or […]
The One with the “Good” Prices
edit: A lovely spreadsheet screen shot has now been formatted for your convenience. Check it out. This post is originally for my Recipe Blog, but I didn’t want anyone to miss it! I’ve been getting an increasing number of questions on “How Do I Do It?” How do I shop so frugally? Eat so (health)fully? Plan meals that […]
The One with a Verse
