Its Hot, ok, its not really hot, but I am hot and I want something cold.
For next to nothing, I can fulfill that craving with a strawberry smoothie. I got a 4 pound bag of Frozen strawberries on clearance for $4.80, that will net me more than 10 smoothies, so about 48 cents
The yogurt, From Kroger's 39 cent sale, I use whatever I have, today, its going to be Vanilla Light
The Milk, I use about 6 ounces, you could eliminate this or use juice, or whatever you have on hand, I like the milk, because I don't drink much and I get it in that way, even at $3.19 a gallon, Which is a total rip off, but hey I didn't feel like running to yet one more store. We are looking at 20 cent.
Mix, together in blender, may add Ice to stretch it further. A grand total, $1.07 and I get enough smoothie for me and my 5 year old to share.

This Blog is so I can share and save the frugal information I have come across and actually use.
Living Within the Means God has Provided for you.
I have been a stay at home mom since 2003, although living on one fairly small income has been challenging, God has always provided for our family. With a Gross income of aproximately $20,000 we own our own home, actually have two running vehicles and want for very little. Lots of people complain about not having enough money to pay their bills. I have a hard time understanding why. On a monthly basis, we make a mere $1, 356, I had no clue til recently how low that really was. Its funny, but being Poor is more of a mentality than an actuality for most of us.
update
Our finances have changed a little, we still own a home, but now its a mobile home. We have gone down to one car since the old one was on its last leg and two just aren't nescessary.
We will not net $20k this year, but God still provides graciously over and over again.
I am returning to school so we can switch stay at home parents. I am very excited to be going back to work and having DH stay home and homeschool our darling daughter.
Do not criticize our decision, much prayer went into it first and We truly feel that its God's will for us to switch roles for a while, he will work part time but I have a better shot at quality work in this economic environment.

About Me
- Charlotte
- My life has been thrown off kilter by a combination of Pseudotumor Cerebri and Chiari Malformation Type 1. While this was originally a blog to journey my daughters homeschool experience, its become more of a journal to help me get through the complications that came with this recurrence of the PTC and diagnosis of Chiari. The PTC was diagnosed 9/1998, the Chiari was diagnosed in May of 2008 but when the neurosurgeon reviewed a CT from 2001 it is likely it was already beginning.
