prudent living - simple solutions - joyful journey

God has been tugging on my heart lately in many areas of my life and has been blessing me with answers and just revealing himself so clearly to me! With that, I thought I should give you the real reason we were able to pay everything off in 33 months! If I keep giving you money saving tips and don’t give you this one, I’m not glorifying

I knew it was nutritionally better and financially cheaper. That’s what I was told and what I had read. I knew I would be a full-time mom by the time
Well what a weekend. Ryan has been gone all weekend so my mom came over and helped me completely clean out my kitchen and re-organize it. We cleared out SOOO many dishes, pots, pans, decor, cups, etc… Feels so good to get a fresh start. Everything has a place and it’s simple. If I hadn’t used it, it was gone. With that being done, we
