Save to Give 2011 Finale & Prize

January 18, 2012 Katrina RyderFull of Fruit

2011 Save to Give Wrap up and PRIZE!

December 31, 2011 Katrina RyderFull of Fruit

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!

February Save to Give Challenge Update

March 2, 2011 Katrina RyderFull of Fruit

Well, this challenge is difficult. I’m not going to lie. We are two months in and so far, I regret doing this. I know that is my worldliness talking, but it’s the truth.

January Save to Give Update and Idea

About me

Hi! I'm Katrina. I'm married to an elementary school music teacher and am mom to three crazy kids. Formerly a high school teacher and missionary, I now stay home and give myself pedicures and eat bon-bons, while never avoiding sarcasm. Actually, I homeschool two of my three kids, substitute teach, and work seasonally at a farm. These days my blog is mostly a venue for information about my homeschool classes, but you can find all kinds of fun old posts about faith, finances, food, and family. I also have archives of The Poorganic Life food blog and You Go Girl! Bible studies. I love Jesus, my family, libraries, audiobooks, Harry Potter, hip-hop dance, gardening, Hamilton, and eating crusty bread. I am available for freelance editing and speaking engagements.

Where’s the one about . . .?
