I'm posting here to let you know that my posts for the next couple months can be found at Beautiful Feet (I'm actually at a computer where I can post from our joint blog, so I'm going to take advantage of it while I can). Go there for future posts.

Rick & I spend too much money on food. I don't think we really overspend on most things in general, but we love our food. I'm attempting to be more frugal and a good, domestic wife, and I know that my sister plans meals an entire month in advance so that her grocery shopping can be very specific, minimalizing the amount of wasted food in the fridge ( Read more... )
