I love Egg Nog, (no alcohol) but it is expensive and well the store bought kind has some yucky ingredients. Now that we have hens laying and our cow should calve soon, we can make it fairly cheaply… It is actually not too bad for you, if you make it. It is super high […]

Summer Fun doesn’t have to cost a fortune…
May 3, 2012 by 1 Comment
I hear a lot about how children don’t know how to entertain themselves. They need this electronic device or that toy. My children can play outside for hours, or re-enact the Civil War or some other historical event or a scene from a book for days…DAYS. Every day my children have TWO WHOLE hours of […]

July 1, 2011 by 4 Comments
A few days ago, I talked about modest on a budget. I mentioned I had planned to make my oldest and myself swimsuits…well, guess what, THEY ARE DONE. There were times during the construction of these swim suits that the $120+ custom made price sounds really good, however really for the most part they were […]
Modesty within Budget
June 16, 2011 by 7 Comments
Over the years of being a mom to daughters, I have become quite concerned over the clothing choices my daughters have. In fact, many of their clothes come from second hand stores, friends, or I make them. The current trends on the market just don’t seem to fit the standards my husband and I have […]
Large Family Mealtime~Creating a meal together.
March 3, 2011 by 2 Comments
In the large family, mealtime can quickly turn into complete chaos. Below could be a scene in our home, if I didn’t get creative with who can do what, and adjust my expectations. The toddler gets ahold of the toilet paper, unwinding a whole roll, handing it to the baby who quickly shreds the entire […]

Are you tired of buying tomato cages that are not big enough to actually support the tomato plants? Tired of them falling apart and having to buy new ones each year?

June 22, 2010 by 7 Comments
As many of you know, I like to be frugal, and when I read on a message board about using a shower board as a dry erase board, my imagination went crazy with ideas. I started by purchasing a 4 x 8 sheet of Shower Board from our local Lumber Yard. It cost $23, though […]

For a couple of years now, we have wanted to get a strawberry bed started. However, I wanted it to be raised. Since we really don’t like spending much to garden, as this is to help us save money, we just kept putting it off. Until, one night when I sat up in bed and […]
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
Digging out of the Homemaking Slump—Homemaking Giveaway
PLEASE NOTE: though the product is still well liked here. I have found that the honesty and moral values of this company have since changed, or become very obvious to me. At this time, I would be very cautious ordering anything from here. I am sorry to have to add this to this post, but […]
