Saving the children

Saving the Children
Friday October 15, 2010

Saving the children is something that lays
on my heart everyday.
I am not talking about my biological
children. I am talking about the children who
are not eating today.
There are people in Nicaragua who are scraping
the garbage for food.
This just bring tears to my eyes.

If you think you live on a tight budget.
There are people who are worse off than you.

There some things that God will lay on your
heart to do. I believe I will go to Nicaragua
to help the starving children.

My church has been involved with Beyond Partnership
in working with some pastors over there.

Please pray for my vision to help the people of
Nicaragua. My husband and want to teach people
how to grow their own food. Then there will not
be any more starving people.

Frugal Tip

If you had to grow what you ate, could you?
Well, I do try. Everyday I can learn something
new to improve my life as a homesteader.




Growing herbs for the winter is a fairly easy task.
Just cut, tie and hang.
I hang them right in my kitchen. When they dry
just take a large bowl and strip the leaves from the
stem and place in a glass jar. Label and you have
tea.

Growing mint is fairly easy as if you get one plant
it will turn into a large patch. Just remember
mint likes to spread. Putting them in pots first can
be one way to control their spreading. If you want
them in your garden put the whole pot right in the
soil. If your space is limited put on your deck.

Frugal tip is what did you pay for that one plant
probably will give an abundance of tea.
More than you could drink yourself.
So invite a friend over and share a cup of tea.

How not to go to the grocery store!
I avoid going to the grocery store on purpose.
You may ask Why?
It is a money trap!


Can you not go to the grocery store for
the whole month.
I know for some this may seem upsurd.
It may help you become a better planner.
I am all about planning as it helps me
with my daily life.

In the month of October it should be easy.
Lots of baking of items for the family.

Yesterday my daughter and I made
apple muffins for breakfast.
We got oh what did you make?
It is a great treat for my family. As we
don't buy cereal from the store.
What we eat for breakfast I am usually
coming up with by making something.
Whether it be pancakes, waffles,
muffins, eggs, yogurt to name a few.

Let me inspire you to see what you
can make this month!
