Today was a gorgeous day! Sadly, I spent all day inside cleaning, straightening up, baking, writing notes, cooking and doing laundry. BEB is an amazing little helper just like her Dad so they graciously helped me. We did enjoy a little time outside this evening as the sun was setting. BEB jumped rope for the first time all by herself! She brings us so much JOY in so many ways.
While today was mostly a "chores" kind of day, I did manage to get on the treadmill for 30 minutes and pay particular attention to everything I ate. I made banana bread for a friend who just had a baby and intentionally made a small mini-loaf for our family instead of the regular size (which I usually end up eating more than half of on my own!). I feel empowered and encouraged on this journey as God holds my hand through it. I still don't feel like I've really "struggled" like I thought I would (up to this point, but it IS only Day 4!). I realize temptation is around the corner so I gear up for the battle every morning as I read God's word.
Thankful for another day....

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.
