Frugal Five – Garden Club & the Garden
Okay, my first frugal thing, has actually cost me $60 so far, and may never be a money saver, but I hope it produces friendships and knowledge! Last week, I paid my dues and officially became a member of a local garden club ($40). Then bought a t-shirt ($20). I’m excited about a plant and…

Thankful Post – Rainbow
Y’all, I’m bugged. There’s hard things going on all around me. There’s things on the global level, things in the community, things with friends and family, and things in my very own heart and head. Just so much that’s bugging me. But I can fight it, and one way, is to intentionally thank my God…

Frugal Five – Library & Dentist
I did multiple little errands the other day. I went to the library where I left some of my over-abundant marigold seeds in the seed catalogue and picked up some herb seeds. I then returned a stack of books, donated a used teacher’s guide to the homeschool shelf, and checked out one book. Next stop…

August Recap
August ending feels like summer ending, especially since my son and I started back homeschooling on September 1. But the weather tells me summer is still here.

Random Writing Thoughts
There’s been some heavy (unbloggable) stuff lately. So I think it’ll be good for me to take a little pause in thinking about all of that and do some enjoyable, light-hearted blogging. In my life, some of the most purpose-ful things I’ve ever done have also been some of the more challenging things. Sitting around…

Frugal Five – First Day of School!
I shredded trash paper and dumped it in the worm compost. Bruno took me on a run/walk, and I found 2 dimes! We had beautiful scenery on our walk! I picked a watermelon today and we have oodles more growing! We’ve been enjoying making agua fresca. We just blend watermelon up with honey or simple…

Even When….
….grumpy We talk about praising God even when we’re in valleys. We sing about worshiping Him even when everything around us is dark. We declare our loyalty even when no one else is following Christ. But what about grumpiness? I mean, it doesn’t seem as severe an emotion as say devastation. I feel grumpy a…

Thankful Post
I wanted to make a doctor appointment for a family member and I’m so glad I didn’t put it off any longer, because when I called, they said the doctor would be out the month of September, but they could get me in the very next day! I’m very grateful for this time with my…
