Pink Saturday
It's been awhile since I have done a "Pink Saturday" post, but these flowers that Jacob and Daddy gave to me re-inspired me!It looks like they are in a pink vase- but they are not! The vase is clear, but the WATER is pink. How cool is that? The flowers had a little packet of the stuff to keep them fresh longer, and it turned the water pink. Love it! It looks a little orangey-pink in the picture, but in person it's actually just pink.I love how thoughtful...

Then one day, a part of me woke up. This part of me that enjoys being social, enjoys bright colors, and enjoys facing new challenges. I figured out that I have spent my entire life afraid of stepping out.A few months ago, I attended...

Frugal Friday
One major thing that we do to be frugal, is buying in bulk. Not everything that is sold in bulk is a good deal, so definitely pay attention to the price per unit. We have found that in general, most staples are cheaper when purchased in larger quantities (flour, sugar, rice...)Another added benefit to buying in bulk is convenience! It is nice to have things on hand, and I rarely worry about running out of my pantry staples.Hu...
