Being A Fun Mom

Aug 31st, 2008 | By Kate Miller | Category: Mommyhood

I will never, ever, in a million years be a perfect mom. It took me a few years to realize that, but now I’ve made peace with that fact. But, I do try every day to be a good mom. I have my good days and my bad days of course, but overall I think [...]

Finding Your Place

Aug 31st, 2008 | By Kate Miller | Category: Simplicity

At times when we were beginning our journey of voluntary simplicity, I’d often wonder if we were heading down the wrong path.

Birthdays on a Budget

Aug 29th, 2008 | By Joy Miller | Category: Frugal Living

My youngest child turned six this week, and my oldest turned eleven last week, so I’ve had Birthday on the Brain for some time. Birthday parties can be quite expensive if I let them, but I don’t like to spend a lot of money on parties—I’d rather spend the money on my child’s gift. I [...]
