Poor Kids Don’t Eat Real Food
Since many of us are in the process of purging our 2012 pantries of all those terrible, no-good, very bad substances like hydrogenation and high-fructose corn syrup, I’ve heard one question repeated on Facebook and the blogosphere. “What do I do with all this unhealthy stuff I’m getting rid of? Should I just go ahead…Continue reading Poor Kids Don’t Eat Real Food

2011 Save to Give Wrap up and PRIZE!
At the beginning of the year, I made a little challenge for our family to try to give away as much as we saved/spent on consumables like groceries and household items. I called this the “Save to Give Challenge.” Today I finally tallied up ALL the mountains of receipts that I had been accumulating since…Continue reading 2011 Save to Give Wrap up and PRIZE!

Standing in the kitchen cleaning up the other night, the ProvidinaTOR says to me, “So it’s almost the anniversary.” He looks at me with one eyebrow raised. I smile, thinking to myself, “Wow, that’s pretty amazing that he thought of it in advance.” We met in 2000 at a Christmas cantata where I was singing…Continue reading A Quick One
The Green Eyed Monster versus Thanksgiving
This is a post from Thanksgiving 2010 that deserved a rewarming. 🙂 Enjoy! (Also, I was still blogging as The Low Ryder then.) In prep for the holidays, I’m not blogging as much because of busyness. Also because my simplicity and frugality strokes of genius, when shared, would spoil the gifts for my recipients, my…Continue reading The Green Eyed Monster versus Thanksgiving
