A Practical Walk

Frugal Five – New Chairs!

I saw a free wood shelf on fb, so my husband and I drove the few blocks to get it. It’s heavy solid wood and he’s using it in the new workshop/shed. I’ve been trying to use up some of the foods that have been hanging around the freezer and cupboards a long time. I…
What Animals Make the Best Pets?

One of the daily writing prompts on WordPress asked, ” What animals make the best/worst pets?” My answer for the best pet is gonna surprise you….. It’s little… It’s wiggly… It’s squirmy… It’s a worm!!! Actually lots of worms! After hearing Internet Shaquille talk about worms, my husband really wanted to get some for our…
Frugal Five – Going Boho

This Easter I wore the same dress I wore last Easter. Last year And this year…what’d ya know! Not only is it the same dress, but same necklace, earrings and shoes! But it was chilly, so I wore a sweater. Which leads me to another frugal thing. When I put the sweater on, I noticed…
Growing Up

Both my kids are growing up…of course they are, that’s what people do. My thoughts and feelings on this are a little scattered, so I’m just gonna go with it and we’ll see how cohesive (or not) this post ends up! This picture makes me miss those days of them being little! I feel it…
Frugal Five – From a Quarter to $20 Savings

I earned enough fetch rewards to cash in for a $5 Amazon gift card. I don’t have any particular plans. Usually with these I just put them on our account and the next time we order something off Amazon, we put the gift card towards it. I was going to order graduation announcements for my…
March Recap

You know…I went to go type my low lights for the month and nothing came to mind immediately…I guess March wasn’t too bad of a month! If you compare to January and February, we had less sickness and no deaths this month, so I guess it was pretty good! Of course, there’s always the non-bloggable…
March 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. I finished one book, and am almost done with…
Frugal Five – Garage Sale

Biggest frugal action this week was our garage sale! We’d been wanting to do it for a long time, but finally got around to it…the weekend the temps dropped and the winds picked up! But we still sold about half of what we had out there. Also…I just love the community feel when you have…
Frugal Five – One is Ice Cream

We went and got our free cones on Dairy Queen’s free cone day…sometimes this frugal life is burdensome. 🙂 I bought a new dress for $7 from Goodwill and already wore it once! With our kids’ schedules filling up, we don’t have as much time as a family, but this last Friday we finally had…
Death & Life

After the death of a mentor, my Grandpa, my husband’s Grandpa, and a friend in Africa’s husband, death has been on my mind. But actually more than death, life has been on my mind. Because at someone’s death, we reflect on their life. We might imagine that their last words were important. Or want to…
