I was blog-hopping again this morning ~ one of my favorite pastimes~ and stumbled across Crunchy Chicken. This gal has lots of neat things to keep us clean and green! Apparently there have been a few "Buy Nothing" Challenges"; where one would go and shop for the month and then refrain from purchases the rest of the month. Now, for those of you who may not know... Corperate America LOVES it when you run back to the store 5 times in one week, spending 20 dollars over the cost of the thing you went after in the first place ~ COME ON MOMS! You know it's true! Now it is confession time for me, I spend! S-P-E-N-D!! This is a real opportunity for me to break the habit! My grocery bill is astronomical, mostly from the almost daily runs back and forth... so here I go, I'm jumping in with both feet! The Buy Nothing Challenge!! Click on the icon in my side bar to check it out!
I admire you for trying the Buy Nothing Challenge. I am to scarced to try it. It is my taste buds that stop me the most. LOL! I look forward to reading about your progress.
I love the baby pictures. Keep them coming. Each new life is such a blessing. I look forward to the day in the future when I become a grandma.
Thank you for the encouraging words about DD's college adventure. It is a comfort to know there are other families facing the same issues. Although I am for learning all you can, college wasn't the choice I liked the best. But, our DD needed to pushed out of the nest or she would have never flown.
Have a blessed week! I will be keeping you, your family, and sweet grandbaby in my prayers.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3: 13,14

If the doctrine of Christian union is true, then division and sectarianism are a great and prodigious evil, and therefore ought to be abolished. Who then will lay the axe to the root of this corrupt tree to help cut it down?
