It’s been a while since I last posted…I do think that is a good thing!  I am trying not to spend too much time on the computer,  including Facebook LOL!  I’ll come in asap, perhaps when I have something quite meaningful to write, and lets face it, when you have the LORD in your life, [...]

I personally have experienced this in my life.  At age 11 I would pray to God that he would take me to heaven rather than let me suffer abuse at night.  My prayer was never answered as a child but at the age of 30 I came to the realisation that there was a God [...]

The Urban Homekeepers Challenge

Gas and Electricity payments soar sky high!!
Our monthly payments for gas and electricity  have gone from £57 a month to £82 and £28 to £43 respectively.  We knew that bills were going to go up but didn’t realise how much by!  So, as I job-hunt to help with family finances, we have decided to go [...]

The Homekeepers Journal

My dear friend Sylvia over at The Christian Homekeeper (See blogroll) has started a weekly journal with a bible verse, and a devotional thought.  I’m going over to Sylvia’s place on a Monday morning and you will be able to read here what God has prompted me to write.  Please head over there yourself and [...]

Much has happened since I last blogged: I added some more friends to my Face-book site, and made some new aquaintances too!
The summer holidays are fast disappearing,  I can’t believe it! We spent 5 days away on the Norfolk Coast, in a seaside town called Cromer…beautiful! Lovely clean beaches and it was a typical English [...]

Deep breaths needed

OoohhKKKKayyy, have you ever read the book by Stormie O Martian?  The one about praying for your husbands?
Remember the bit about her conversation with the Lord and she was saying…”Lord look at HIM!…CHANGE HIM LORD!!”  and the Lord answered..”I’m looking at YOU Stormie”…re,member that?  Well…..I’m right there too now. I dare not speak because I [...]

Ok…the times they are a changing..

Well, dh has finally decided after much thought that I must get a job, perhaps a full-time one where I get after school care for Rosie.  Needless to say I’m not a happy bunny but I have to give this over to the Lord and do what my husband asks of me.  Perhaps this is [...]

you’ve forgotten your password!
Today I was hanging out some sheets and feeling the sunshine and the breeze..a perfect drying day, when I thought..”I just have to blog this moment!”   I am just SO thankful that I can do this..cook and clean and sort and tidy, and just enjoy my day!  What a blessing it is [...]

Thinking frugally-Meals

Posted by: yvonnew on: May 16, 2008

My DH and I are trying to cut down our portion sizes, not only to try and shed some extra pounds but also to try and save on food buying.  Like petrol, food prices have soared here in the U.K and the government have said that it is not going to get better, in fact [...]

Thinking frugally…do you really need to drive?

Posted by: yvonnew on: May 16, 2008

All this week I have the busiest of days, and mostly because I have been walking much more than usual!  I usually ride my bicycle, or walk when I take Rosie to school and bring her home, but occasionally I do use the car when my  husband is home.  Oooh yes, I do love that [...]
