You ever wonder how you can be so busy, but feel like not much is getting done. I have found a solution. Write a list of the things in your life that are non-negotiable. My list is simple; God, family and my need for intellectual stimulation. What is on your list? If whatever comes along doesn't fit in the parameters of your primary categories it is negotiable. Now this blog fits under the third category. I even figured out how to keep it current. Instead of surfing Facebook, I can drop a quick note in here. I call that time frugality. Is frugality a word?
Food frugality is high on my list right now too. Meat is expensive and too much of it is not good for you. That said I am trying to do a 3/4 balance in my weekly dinner menu. Three nights of the week we have meat with our meal and four nights a week dinner is vegetarian. It's cheaper and enables my husband and I to stay in our current clothing size. See it's a two for. Less meat enables you to save on groceries and clothing. Speaking of groceries, I promised a recipe the last time I was here. Hmmm. Thursday is a vegetarian dinner night. Recipe and pics to come.
Good night folks.
The life and trials of a homeschooling mom trying to live on 1 1/2 salaries in NYC. I will post my attempts at frugality, teaching my son and being a Christian wife.
