Why I Won’t Be Eating for 30 Hours This Weekend
Have you ever heard of the 30 Hour Famine? It’s a World Vision event that is held nationwide in various churches and youth groups to raise money for impoverished countries. Groups of teens and adults go without food for 30 hours and ask people to sponsor them in return.
Tomorrow through Saturday I will be joining [...]

What I Learned at Blissdom
I’ve spent the last couple days processing my trip to Blissdom. (In between kissing on my boys, trying to get caught up on blogging, enjoying our news interview, attempting to get unpacked–emphasis on attempting–and kissing on my boys a little bit more).
I wrote a big long list of ‘things to do’ while flying home, but [...]

Off to Nashville!
I am one excited girl right now.
I am officially on my way to Blissdom–a conference for bloggers. (Yep, they have such things!)
I have so much to learn about making my blog a more helpful tool for you all and a conference is exactly the next step that I needed.
There are a few people who are [...]
My Goals for the New Year (Finally!)
I’ve taken some time this week to sit back and consider, “What would I like to see happen with Cha-Ching on a Shoestring in 2010?”
I am very grateful to those of you who took time to fill out my reader survey. It was fun and helpful to hear your thoughts. Of course, I may not [...]
Confession Time: How I Spent More than $50 on Christmas
Well now, I guess it’s confession time.
I’ve been putting this off because…how do I put this? I didn’t want to tell you.
But you deserve to know.
And I think you will still love me in spite of my failures. I hope?
If you were a reader of Cha-Ching on a Shoestring before Christmas, you know that I [...]
Our Year in Review (and Happy New Year!)
I’m not writing New Year’s Resolutions. Yet.
I decided that today is going to be my day of reflecting. Tomorrow I think about the future.
What a year it has been–both personally and as a blog. Throughout this past year, our family has dealt with the discouragements of unemployment and job-hunting and survived. In September, Wes took [...]
What Christmas Means to Me
This year I decided to read the Christmas story to my four year old son while he acted it out with our Nativity Scene.
He provided a whole new take on the story.
I had no idea that there was so much punching the bad guy involved in the birth of Christ. But to be fair, [...]
A Fun Idea for your Health and Beauty Stockpile
One of my favorite aspects of our new home is that we finally have a Guest Room (which Griffin calls the Clue Room –apparently he thinks it’s the Guess room.)
Since we moved three weeks ago, we have already hosted 7 overnight visitors (and two more are coming this weekend!) That’s probably about twice as many [...]
