  6. Simple Living
    After moving toward simplicity and frugality for the past few years, I have struggled with the fact that simple doesn't always equal frugal, and frugal isn't always simple. I've had to ask myself "what do you want most?" The answer invariably comes to my head "I want an uncomplicated life...

    I saw these really cute matching raincoats, boots and umbrellas at Old Navy and everything in me wants to buy them for my daughters. I checked at the front how much they'd be per child (the items are all on sale) and it would cost $38.50 per child. BTW - We still don't have a budget, so I'd...

  15. Kitchen Basics
    I'm reading a very old book titled "The Way of a Pilgrim", about a Christian wayfarer in the 1800's who travelled through Russia on foot. It really struck me that he ate virtually nothing but bread and water all his life and walked upwards of SIXTY miles a day! How unnecessarily complicated...

    Thought for 10/10/08: There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. - Richard Feynman
