I haven’t been able to blog as much lately, but now they we’re done with our classes for the summer, I hope to be able to get back to it more! Speaking of classes, here’s my latest ministry post: Our Semester in Pictures. Even though I haven’t been posting much about the May Clutter-Busting challenge, [...]

In one of her gazette’s Amy Dacyczyn came up with a word related to frugality for every letter of the alphabet and I thought it’d be fun to do it myself (without cheating and looking at hers!)
