I don't really know if I am seeking advice here or just getting this all out and organizing my thoughts with my friends. :)

Congratulations, Kat!!!!

Yesterday I watched my friend's kids, so I had 8 kids here, 5 of them age 3 or younger. I had thought about this beforehand and decided to have dinner made ahead of time. I figured I might be a...

Congratulations!!! That is so exciting!

I pray while I go about my day, but I also pray the rosary in the morning, usually sitting in my favourite chair. The kids and I pray the morning offering at the breakfast table and sometimes the...

Hi Rosa! I am glad to be back. Kelli, that is a great success! Good job!

Hahahahaha! Oh that is priceless. I should make those for my grandma. That sounds like an enchilada she could get into.

I am looking forward to it, Jilly. I think it should be a lot of fun!

I grew up upper middle class. My mom came from a wealthy family, although it was new money, her parents had grown up poor in the Depression. My dad came from a middle class family, but they had a lot...

Thanks for reminding me of her. My big girls are into the "Kitt" series from American Girl about a girl growing up in the depression. This would be a fun project to do as an extra study tool.

Very cute!

I have used the tops in stock too.

This looks interesting. We are starting a dinner-and-class thing at my church next year and I am on the food committee. This could be useful. Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome back everyone!

Bke, congratulations on selling the house!

Hello friends! I have missed you all.

Tonight Zach and I had an at-home date night. We are trying to do more of these over the summer and reduce how much we go out or dates. It's harder in the...

Hello everyone! I can't believe it's the 8th already. April is going fast.

I went and got my seeds this week for seed starting. I had Zach rig up the lights on a shelf in the dining room this...

OK, make me spend some frivolous money. My mom sent me $200 for a dress for my anniversary. She sent it over a month ago and the money sits unused in my savings account because I can't make myself...

100% yes. I love him madly. Like Florence, if I wasn't married to him, I don't even know that I'd want to be married. We've been through a lot together, but I think we are better for it.

Merski and Kat, I am sorry for your losses. I will keep your families in my prayers.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes everyone! It was a good one. It's been a good, frugal week so far. I've been...

My kids don't have a particularly uncomfortable lifestyle. They do have clothes, good food, a little pocket money and occasional treats. We live in a neighborhood where people put some value on...
