Last month marked the one-year anniversary of our family (aggressively) using the Dave Ramsey principles for finances and budgeting.

They say “While the cat’s away, the mice will play,” and that usually proves to be true whenever Spencer leaves for a few days. That man loves the end result of an organization project, but never does he enjoy it when I’m in the middle of the “it’s gonna get worse before it will [...]
To the Swing Voters

Newsflash: This is not an intellectual blog– nor is it (usually) a political one. I’ve never pretended that I spend more time studying politics than I do scrubbing toilets, frying up taco meat for seven, or helping my fourth grader do her homework. I put that caveat out there, so that [...]

Jane: Mommy! Mommy! NOT THIS VAN! I want to go in the bloooo van!

This week’s Works for Me Wednesday is something that I’m not exactly sure works for me. Yet. I mean, I think it will work for me, but I haven’t tried it yet. After I agreed to review Lynne Spear’s book Through the Storm for Thomas Nelson, (in exchange for a free [...]

When Challies.com linked to this article– I decided to take the bait and be one of the reviewers for Lynne Spear’s (mother of Britney & Jamie Spears) book entitled Through the Storm.
