Hi Mary, I did well with my Sept challenge and hope to continue from now until Christmas and bank the savings I make
Hope you have a blessed Sunday.
Mary,
Thank you for writing the Family Feasts book. I don’t even want to tell you how much I was spending each month on food for my husband, son (18 months old), and myself. I didn’t know how to grocery shop. I have read through your book twice now and formed a game plan. I spent $106 for the week, which included my husband’s birthday present of water from around the world (he really likes bottled water from around the world) which was about $40. I have been wondering how I was going to be able to quit teaching elementary school and stay at home with my son and be the mother he deserves. This is answering my prayers. Now, I am going to add shelving to my pantry and get it organized (another of my problems).
Thank you for seeing the error in my ways. Your book is a true blessing to me.
Dawn
I LOVE this song!!! Thanks for the morning pick me up =)
Mary,
I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve borrowed your Sunday post idea. At the moment, I have yet to come up with a title of my own, so I’m also borrowing your title.
I’m not entirely sure on the rules of blog-etiquette here, so if it’s not okay, just let me know. I did link to your blog (when asking for help on coming up with a title).
I always enjoy the songs, scriptures, and other treasures you share on Sundays. Thanks!
