Frugal Friday (Monday) Winner
Priscilla | Dec 28, 2009It’s been a great holiday season for my family and I. The boys have had a never-ending Christmas. It began at our house on Christmas morning. They woke up at 6am to see our little 3-ft tree lined with a few gifts for each of them. I marveled at how quickly each gift was unwrapped […]

Priscilla | Dec 27, 2009Yes, it is Frugal Friday. It’s Monday. Who cares?? GB Ministries has declared it Frugal Friday. Did you have a great Christmas? I sure did!

Read MoreHe’s Not Exactly a Christmas Donkey
Rachel Anne | Dec 22, 2009Some of you might be familiar with Flash, my stray donkey who showed up….and never left. He’s the lovesick dude that Priscilla and I tried to pull home in the story featured in the “Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed” Bible study. Yeah, that donkey. See, we’d only meant to keep Flash overnight, or at least until we […]

Priscilla | Dec 21, 2009Hello sisters, Thanks for stopping by today. Honestly, I could use a little “girlfriend” time.

Read More“Dumping Debt” Winner
Priscilla and Rachel | Dec 19, 2009Thank you so much for all your debt busting stories yesterday! Reading them helped strengthen my own resolve to keep working at living within my means, and having a plan for getting (and staying) out of debt.

Read MoreFrugal Friday – Dumping Debt
Rachel Anne | Dec 17, 2009Ya’ll, we had a GREAT bunch of frugal tips last Friday…if you missed it, be sure to check out the comments! One thing that seemed to be a theme was “getting out of debt.” Many of us at one time or another swallowed the line that “debt is a way of life” as we pursued […]
Read MoreA Good Cook – Recipe Exchange
Priscilla | Dec 15, 2009One day I hope to be a good cook. I’m talking about the kind of woman you know and admire from afar. Crisp white apron, flour scattered on her chin, smile on her face, utensils in order, the most incredible smells coming from her kitchen and not a cook book in sight. When you ask […]
Read MoreThe Bugs are Gone
We moved about a year ago. Our home is tucked in a wooded and more rural area of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area now. We’ve enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the wide open spaces. But with the onslaught of rain that fell relentlessly this Autumn, and the dense tree and brush coverage that populates our […]
Read MoreWhy, I’d Be Delighted
Dec 14, 2009All that talk of misery yesterday made me feel a little sorry for the people who don’t know how my mind works. You see, I found that my day became simply delightful just because I became aware of how un-miserable things were.
