Some Thoughts on Proverbs 31 #1

I kinda had a breakdown yesterday, because spending money just really stresses me out..we are about to renovate our bathroom, and it is a need for our home..I just want so badly to leave fairy step carbon footprints on our Earth..


So I decided I needed some time in Proverbs 31 for a while and these are some conclusions for our family that jumped out at me when I was reading:


MEND before buying new..my daughter was doing laundry the other day and mended some sleep shorts of mine..sadly, mending them had not even occurred to me, but now they will last a good time longer


FOOD PRESERVATION: this was an idea my husband presented to me yesterday..canning & drying meats, veggies and fruits..this idea kinda scares me, but I just need to take a step at a time..just like yesterday, I removed a door off a cabinet..I know this is probably elementary to many of you, but I had 3 brothers and never did carpentry or yard maintenance..


CHILDREN CHORES: let them do the weekly dusting and vacuuming and their own laundry..


BLOG SPONSORS: I so want to encourage other cottage businesses to prosper as I am so trying to do with my writing..so if and when I sponsor others on my blog, I would like to choose mom & pop type businesses..


I will share more and I chew on this chapter..
