My spending freeze ends in three days. Like the U.S government has checks and balances to prevent bad ideas from shooting through, I realize I need a good system to avoid impulse spending. So I think most want items will need to pass a seven day test. Ill only buy every other week. I realize...

Thank you! I can imagine. Didn't you serve in the military at one point?

I understand. We personally go through seasons of less and more. But often when its less, I learn a lot about Godly contentment and thanking God for everything I can think of. I find that Im happier this way. Walking is free and Ive been turning to that and library audiobooks instead of...

I made a want list in the middle of my spending freeze. But in delaying the purchases, Im finding less of an urge to buy any thing on my want list. I think thats a huge blessing. How often in the past have I just bought some thing on impulse only to forget about it shortly?

I am very tempted to break my spending freeze because my journal is on its last pages. Ive been keeping entries short. I just need to wait till Thursday to order a new one. Or who knows, maybe one of my friends has planned to get me one for my birthday!!

It's actually late at night for me. It will likely take two hours for me to go back to sleep

Feeling good these days! Went for a walk and took a nap. My Mom and Dad sent me a big rocking chair and foot stool. It was very sweet of her.

Had fun today, finding a walking path and watching videos on historical women's fashion. The husband wants to lose weight so I helped him find a food scale. My birthday is next week so the pregnancy center ladies are throwing a lunch party.

Am feeling great. I found a way to walk near my home and can walk more often now. I will take a rest today. The pregnancy center ladies remembered my birthday and are throwing me a party next Thursday. Yay! The baby kicks like clockwork when Im still. Hubby is interested in losing weight too...

Amazing how exercise makes you feel less tired. Feeling super motivated right now. I don't often like to share this and be open on it but the truth is I want to be above average as a wife and homemaker. I want to be excellent and challenge myself to do better as time goes on.

Today, husband agreed to buy me a beautiful lace head covering. Its tempting to just end my spending freeze and get other things on my wishlist. Im excited about the head covering because I can see myself wearing it outside the house and to church. I didnt feel comfortable wearing a thick...

We got the abortion restriction passed! Woohoo! There will now be a ban at 12 weeks instead of 20 weeks! There are also plenty of goodies for childcare and women's health!

Yes, this recipe calls for butter and caper brine. I think it will turn out well. Will probably make it with some rice and roasted squash.

North Carolina congress will meet today at 4pm EST to decide whether to override our governor's veto of the bill that would ban abortion at 13 weeks. Currently it's at 20 weeks. Please pray all the members would be there to vote and for the very real potential of an override to the governor on...

Glad my husband's job allows me to talk to him at work. We talked for hours today. The chores are almost done. I think Ill make a new garlic shrimp recipe today.

I mostly walk. But I miss the little bit of strength training I did. I couldn't do any pushups. I was starting to build that up. also, the fact that you could do hand stand pushups is amazing.
