Groceries for a Family of 7

February 24, 2012 by Anne Marie 9 Comments

Although our current grocery budget is low for a family of 7 compared to the national average, I'd still like to find ways of spending less than $480 per month. I know what we spend because we're on a budget that's written down each month. Yep, you may have guessed that my husband and I are working the Dave Ramsey plan, which is outlined in the Total Money Makeover book.

February 13, 2012 by Anne Marie Leave a Comment

You probably already know that Valentine's Day is named for a real person. But you might be surprised to learn that there were actually three different Valentines mentioned in early Christian martyrologies. Saint Valentine of Rome was a priest and Saint Valentine of Terni a bishop; both were put to death for their faith during the Roman persecutions of the 3rd century and both are buried on the famous Via Flamenia, an ancient Roman road.

How to Store Cloth Diapers: An Easy Storage Solution!

December 13, 2011 by Anne Marie 4 Comments

Although I've got three children in cloth right now, it doesn't really matter how many you're diapering before the stuff begins to pile up. Diapers, covers, wipes and all the accessories.........even the roomiest changing table can quickly begin to overflow! Luckily, I discovered the perfect solution to my storage problems: a shoe organizer with a sturdy metal frame and durable canvas pockets. We purchased it at Walmart and had it put together in 15 minutes. The shoe compartments Continue Reading

October 8, 2010 by Anne Marie 11 Comments

If you're pregnant and having a hard time trying to find longer dresses and skirts, and tops without plunging necklines, this post is for you. After multiple pregnancies, I've found a lot of great places to shop for conservative, but attractive styles. We all have different reasons for wanting to wear a more conservative style. Comfort, body type, personal style, religious convictions and even something as simple as trying to stay warmer can all come into play. It also goes without saying Continue Reading

July 6, 2009 by Anne Marie 468 Comments

We bought a lovely little farm on five acres years ago and wanted to find a suitable name for it. But after coming up empty with internet searches, I resorted to my own independent research and inspiration. Zephyr Hill Farm was born. Life and literature are filled with delightful names: Green Gables....Sunnybrook Farm.....Ponderosa Ranch.....Misselthwaite Manor..... If they can do it, so can you! But don't expect inspiration to come in an instant. Allow plenty of time for your imagination Continue Reading
