Two Great Blogs for Your Blogroll
January 9th, 2008 | 
Author: I thought I would share two blogs that I frequently read. Both are written by Christian women and offer great ideas for your home and budget!
Money Saving Mom – Check out Crystal’s site for great ideas for ways to live frugally, as well as the latest deals at the grocery store or pharmacy. Don’t be overwhelmed by her deals – try to understand one at a time and pretty soon, you’ll be saving loads of money. Also, be sure to read the comments on how others saved money. And yes, the deals do work. Personally, we have saved hundreds of dollars in the past 4 months by shopping how Crystal teaches. Our income is extremely limited so this site has been a tremendous blessing to us allowing us to buy namebrand products and get out of the Wal-Mart mode. (Stay tuned for a post about why I no longer like Wal-Mart.) This is also a great website if you are “young” and trying to figure out how to shop within a budget.
Dovey’s Deliberations – Dovey’s blog is new but is filled with information about homeschooling, rearing young children, menu ideas and life in general with young children. A recent blog post focused on homeschooling and resources for those researching the idea of homeschool. (P.S. – Dovey is an old friend that I haven’t seen since our days working as operators at the Bob Jones Univ. switchboard.)
