I’ve been thinking about the U.S. economy. Who hasn’t? One would have to be in a coma not to have been considering the ramifications of the economic slowdown that is currently going on. Although we aren’t technically in a recession, the media seems to be driving consumers that way. Why, I’m not sure. More news [...]

But seriously, our house is cluttered up with packed boxes of our stuff to be moved to grandmother’s house this weekend. We’re moving in a couple [...]

Well it’s been some time since I last posted. I am pleased to say that I have finally mastered the art, and yes it is an art, of yeast bread baking. I can now make a lovely and tasty loaf of whole wheat yeast bread that can serve the same as a loaf of store-bought [...]

Well, I’m not celiac or wheat intolerant, but my kids are. This is what makes it so very difficult for me to be gluten, casein, soy, egg, and corn free. I can perfectly tolerate it (excepting the soy) and sometimes I just really want to eat normal food. I’m struggling with a number of things [...]

Frugality is not about being cheap. Although you may hear a lot of people say that someone is acting cheap, their wallet screams when it opens, et cetera, et cetra, frugality is about using what you have to make the most of it to achieve your goals. I want a house. I mean, I really [...]
