Money Savings Tip

I found this on facebook not sure who to give the credit too ( The survival mom had it on her page) but this chart is a great way to save money. If you can not afford that much in December you could even do this chart backwards. But I think we will try this out

Good luck! Let me know if you are going to try this out :) By the end of the year you could have $1,378.00 sounds nice huh?!

Some quotes that I love

"God did not make us to be cookie-cutter women. We are not replicas of each other. We all have different husbands and different children and different circumstances and different talents and different trials that we are in. I believe a strong Godly home can look 1,000 different ways because God made us each unique." ~ Courtney

The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking Him in spite of trials, and trusting Him in the midst of it all.
~The praying woman~
...
The enemy sends people in our lives just as God does. Be wise enough to know who to let in and who to let go.
~The praying woman~

Forgive them. Even if they're not sorry.
~The praying woman~

Anger is our natural defense against pain. So when someone says "I hate you", it really means "You hurt me".
~The praying woman~

About Me

Hello! I am a 31 year old wife and a mother of 4 precious children. My husband, Tommy is 33, I Stacy am 31, Dylan 8, Ethan 7, Lillian almost 4 and Aydan  17 months old. I want more children, Tommy is fine with 4 but we are letting God decide for us.

Psalm 127:3-5 ESV         
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Psalm 113:9 ESV     
He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!
Genesis 1:28 ESV        
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

I am a stay at home mom. I homeschool my oldest 3. I have been homeschooling for 2 years now. Best decision I have ever made. I want to start a bible study group for woman, couples, and families. I also want to start my own business. I can make a lot of things like homemade laundry detergent, tutus etc. My husband can make ANYTHING from wood. He can build homes, he can do anything.


I am a born again Christian. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul. The Lord is my best friend. I talk to him all the time everyday.

Philippians 4:13

King James Version (KJV)

¹³ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

God is a very important part in our families life. We base everything around the Lord. We do bible time at night with our children, we pray together, we do individual bible time and prayer. We homeschool so our lessons are based with the bible.

I started making homemade laundry detergent. Going to start making other homemade things.

We love to travel and vacations. We love family time. we are big fans of board games! we love family night!
 
Throughout this next year I have a lot of goals for myself and my family and can't wait to share our adventures with you guys.



 

Fresh start in 2014

I weigh the most now that I have ever weighed. I am here to take back my life and lose this weight not only for me but for the Lord! I have 4 children but 6 pregnancies ( I have had 2 miscarriages) Before having kids I weighed 114 lbs so I have a lot to go lol I don't want to be that skinny again but I want to weigh around 130 lbs. so I am going to start journaling what I eat every day and the exercises I do. I have a bet going on with family that if I can lose 50lbs by July 1st 2014 I will get $500 to spend ONLY on new clothes. ( They said I had to use it for new clothes and nothing else) If anyone knows me they know I do not spend much on myself I buy things for my children so this will be a challenge for me.

Anyone wanting to lose weight with me? if so leave a comment and we will keep track weekly on how much we lose and share our weight lose recipes.
