~ from my home to yours ... ~
I'm really feeling drawn inward to our home, a more circling of the wagons kind of thing, if you will. A desire to make it a safe place from the world kind of 'drawing inward'. I love our little home, it's perfect for us and I want to be a good steward of it and of all that involves the people who call it home. We feel so blessed to be in the season of life we are in and have a place we can call our own. There's warmth and love within its walls and yes, mason jars, home preserved foods, drying herbs, books, WIP projects, lots of snuggly quilts, a swing on the front porch and a rocking chair nearby! We call it home and we call ourselves blessed. We give God the glory for He truly has had His hand in it all along! Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Pantry Building Pep Talk!

Or I could have titled it ... Let's Be Honest!
One of the statements I hear most often when talking with others about keeping a well-stocked pantry is, “I don’t have the money to buy groceries and stock a pantry too.”   While I certainly agree that this is true for some, for most it is not.

Let’s see if we can find some funds in the budget for those in the ‘it is not’ category …

What could you add to your pantry by using the money, or even a portion of it, that you use to eat out with each month?  This includes meals, lunches, money you spend in the vending machine at work, breakfast you pick up on the way to work, lattes, etc.

Add up the amount … go ahead … I’ll wait …

Done?

How much did you get?  This amount is above and beyond what you spend at the grocery store for groceries so … we just found you some money to help stock your pantry!

 I am a firm believer in keeping and maintaining a well-stocked pantry.  I share my reasons HERE! I also believe that a well-stocked pantry encompasses so much more than just food.  You can read what I consider my pantry HERE!

She looketh well to the ways of her household … Proverbs 31:27

My pantry is intentional, purposeful, simple, practical, frugal and what works for my family.  It’s the food items and household supplies that keep my household running smoothly ready and available when they are needed.  It’s my contribution to our family’s economy and my work-from-home ‘job.'
