All the Money In the World Book Review

By Tiffany 3 Comments

Over the weekend I did very little to celebrate Earth Day. I planned on doing some gardening but alas it was cold and rainy here in Ohio. I ultimately ended up spending the weekend doing laundry, playing Plants vs Zombies in short spurts, and reading library books while in the comfort of my favorite recliner. I also enjoyed hearty crockpot meals. It was a good weekend. One of the books I read was All the Money in the World: What the Happiest People Know About Getting and Spending. I have read … [Read more...]

It required us to use the "credit" … [Read more...]

The Self Sufficiency Handbook

By Tiffany 9 Comments

Self sufficiency is a topic near and dear to me. I don't know why really but it has always been something that fascinated me...that and survivalism. I LOVE reading stories about families that live in octagonal houses in the middle of a nowhere, using solar power, growing their own food, and making all their home furnishings by hand. I am not quite sure if that life would be right for me but I can live vicariously right? This is why I can't live without my Mother Earth News subscription. I … [Read more...]
