Come join us as we build a small homestead and family on a frugal budget with following the Lord. We will explore the topics of organization, budgeting, crafting, saving money, recipes, gardening and canning. We will go over how a wife, child and even a husband should act. Most of all, how God effects our life daily. But please don’t think this is all we will be discussing. There is so much to learn. Please don’t forget to send me e-mails. I would love to hear from all of you.

Oct. 17, 2012
It's is a chilly day high in the 50's. The leaves are turning and it's the end of apple season and the beginning of planting garlic season. I was able to get the ground tilled and ready for the cloves. But I have yet to get the cloves in.
Today I was able to pick up a bag of mixed apples for $10. This bag alone made 20 jars of applesauce.
The jars where given to me from a friend and I got the lids for 50 cents a box in clearance over the winter.
I was also able to purchase the following all for only $5 total.
and thanks to good friends with older kids we given for free the following for my daughter.
I have been hand quilting my quilt and my husband and I estimated about 50 more hours to go till it's totally finished. I WOULD LOVE, to be able to give this quilt to my husband for our 13th Anniversary that is coming up in November but that will be a tough thing to accomplish. I hope you follow along to see if I can get this task done in time for him! <3
I got this square done!
