As a family of seven you might wonder where, how, or even why we would choose to eat in a way that some might say; could cost a fortune, is inconvenient, or too hard. It’s all in perspective, I had to wrap my brain around the idea of changing, not just my food habits, but our way of living. You …
My friend Racquel is a frugal beast, maybe even more than I am. She’s also a busy homeschooling mom of 5.
