A Practical Walk

What Do You Do At Your House?

After having lived in 5 different countries, I sometimes get my cultures mixed up. I’m not only American in my cultural values, I hold things from each place I’ve lived. Sometimes this causes confusion, like I can’t remember what is normal American culture. A perfect example is something I’ve been contemplating lately. Do most Americans…
Frugal Five

Got my first referral on fetch rewards, which gave me 2000 points! This was right after I redeemed my points for a $5 gift card. Because I don’t try to buy things with extra points, I simply make my usual purchases, it takes me a while to wrack up to a gift card. This is…
The Dos and Don’ts of my Ebay

I already wrote a little about how I sell on ebay. As I’ve gotten into it, I’ve realized there’s lots of ways to go about the process. I put together a quick list of the things I personally do and don’t do at the time of this writing. Given the fact that I’m new, chances…
80 Days in Ebay

I recieved a comment asking to hear more about selling on ebay, so here’s an ebay post! I’m a beginner at this (as in my very first listing was posted only 80 days ago) so my advice is limited, but my 2 biggest pieces of advice would be: Learn from others! I’m fortunate to have…
What Can I Do?

Do you ever have frustrating things in life? I’m sure you’re answers’ yes, because you live in the same world as me. There’s so much we can’t control. But at the same time there’s so much we CAN control, after all, our Creator made us with the ability to make choices. I can’t make people…
Just Me Blabbing Again!

Things have continued to be busy, so I think my best course of action for a blog post right now is another timed one. So here I go with a bunch of randomness on my mind! We finished the floors, and you know I love a before and after picture. Before of the living room.…
Just Me Blabbing

My life’s a little weird right now. We’re busy. I really like having time to “do around”, like blogging, ebay, gardening, reading, just some thinking space. So this morning, I decided to set a timer for 20 minutes and see how much of a post I could get up. This is miscellaneous, post following my…
May Book Stack

I believe every book we as believers read, must be compared to the truths of Scripture. Any book I recommend does not necessarily mean I agree with 100% of it. All reading we do, should be done with the Bible truths in the forefront of our minds. My book stack this month isn’t really a true…
Quick Thankful Post

This has been a busy week, and next week looks to be busy again. Lots going on, and lots on my mind, so why not make a quick thankful post? Being thankful has never done anything but help, so here we go: Okay, this got long and if anyone stuck to the end, gold stars…
Stopping Sin Early On

I had prepared a meal for a group of people. Another lady had prepared the desserts. After we’d finished eating, she pulled out her beautiful tray and began arranging a variety of home-baked goods on it. Everyone “oohed” and “ahhed” as she set it out. Immediately I felt a twinge inside me. I had prepared…
