Each New Year I make resolutions about upgrading and improving?eventually. Molly, on the other hand, has already done so. Her latest Money-Saving Digest: Molly Saves in the Office sports a new look and new features, while retaining the best of last year?s Digests. Although Molly?s new look is very contemporary, her smiling face still beams [...]

Tightwad Tuesday: The Final Post
helping each other be good stewards of all our resources: money, possessions, time, energy, and health Although Tightwad Tuesday thrived for a long time when Canada Girl hosted it, it does not seem to be meeting a need now. In consultation with Stacy, who linked up faithfully every week, I’ve decided that this is [...]
TWT Recipe: Delicious Beef Heart
helping each other be good stewards of all our resources: money, possessions, time, energy, and health Every animal has a heart. And heart, cooked properly, is delicious, healthy, and relatively inexpensive. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find heart meat. Since a small butcher shop just opened near our home, we had beef heart [...]
TWT: Stop Procrastinating, Make a Will
helping each other be good stewards of all our resources: money, possessions, time, energy, and health Our will is over a decade old, with a few handwritten changes. (Not good!)

Last week my girls found a judo outfit for Miss 10 at a thrift shop. To do judo, you need a very sturdy [...]
TWT: Inspiring Stewardship Sites
helping each other be good stewards of all our resources: money, possessions, time, energy, and health So often the main stumbling block to being a good steward is that we lose motivation. We look around us and see others who are wasteful in so many ways, and we wonder, “Why are we doing all this?” [...]
TWT: Cleaning with Vinegar
helping each other be good stewards of all our resources: money, possessions, time, energy, and health Some people have cupboards full of cleaning supplies. That costs a lot, takes up a lot of space, and, let’s face it, fills a home with poisons. We use vinegar instead because it is economical, effective, and safe. Because [...]
