Jennifer @ A Fine Romance!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Jen! I'll be in touch with you to let you know the details.

I am busy doing research today on thriftiness! I am one of the scheduled speakers for our church's Women's Conference in April, and we are speaking on the topic of doing MORE with less $$$$$. I am so excited! And I've found so many interesting ideas....I even found entire videos on YouTube yesterday about how to have a 3 month supply of food stored in your basement in case of "emergency". That kind of freaked me out, to be honest. But I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned there somewhere. :) I have difficulty knowing where to draw the line in this area. My natural tendency is to "stock pile" so that I can rely on my own strength when something runs out, or the snow comes, or the entire economy of this country COLLAPSES. It's hard for me to fully rely on God when it comes to things like this. With that said, I am a firm believer that God gives us a brain and He expects us to use it! We shouldn't be stupid, people! More to come on this later. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this Food Storage Room. It's hump day, ladies! Let us rejoice!!! :)
