I'm a crocheter, crafter and wannabe DIY-er who dusted off my sewing machine to make some very special projects for children in need.
Aspiring to be the next Master Chef, I find fulfillment as a Family Chef and can often be found in the kitchen cooking up old family favorites and experimenting with new recipes.
As a stay-at-home mom, I try to live frugally by being thankful, using samples, ignoring directions, filling our freezer, and using coupons--I never leave home without them!
I hope you will join me as I share about all the things I love--faith, family, food and frugal living.
