The shopping trips they have taken there are some of the funniest moments on the shows and Frankie's mentions of Frugal Hoosier food at home crack me up. That search brought me to your website and I have enjoyed reading this entry about your shopping trips to Bargains. It does sound a lot like the Frugal Hoosier! I like your writing style and in particular the phrase in regards to shopping cheap, "We know this is just a season.." That really struck me about bargain shopping and living on the cheap as many of us have to do. Perhaps it will be for just a season. I would like to think that many of the hard spots in life are for 'just a season'. Thank you, very much, for sharing your thoughts and giving me something that I enjoyed and will be thinking about. I will be reading more of your website.

Today the kids are outside in t-shirts playing with the neighbors. I definitely prefer to enjoy winter in short spurts instead of long stretches.

How I'd hate to be in the North where piles of dirty snow remain all winter long. Southern Snow Blizzards are just way to much fun. Life needs to come to a grinding half for a good reason and snow is the best reason I can think of!

I totally agree that some things need to be fought about in marriage and that it does produce the rich soil of love and bonding when we work through them with God's help. I saw a post recently from another blogger encouraging couples to never argue. I understand where she's coming from, but feel like there's so much that needs to be "fought for" in marriage that I couldn't disagree more with her admonition. I'm so glad to have you join the WW link up too! I hope to see you every week. BTW, I'm going to pray for this difficult season you are facing as well! :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156048755652103073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427479872149952577.post-65853072449570287252013-02-27T04:57:14.792-08:002013-02-27T04:57:14.792-08:00"fight with someone" "fight for som..."fight with someone" "fight for someone", great revelation there.<br /><br />I also don't like the dark seasons :) I've found this verse always helpful - weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning - i love mornings! yet without the nights - the striving and conflict and darkness, i'd never have my wonderful morning. thanks for this reminder todayNginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803770045053871084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427479872149952577.post-10344879518296329882012-08-26T20:22:48.065-07:002012-08-26T20:22:48.065-07:00Hi!

And thank you for reminding us all that our fulfilment of our vocation doesn't have to look like someone else's. I can't, for example, do all the amazing things you do with your kids. I just can't. It's not in my nature, and it would leave me unsettled and frazzled. I can't offer hospitality the way you do so graciously, either... but that doesn't mean that I fail in my vocation. It simply means that I'm called to do it differently, using the gifts and talents He's given me, like you use yours.<br /><br />I'm so glad to be able to call you friend, and to learn from you as we go through motherhood together!<br /><br />[by the way, I have to laugh... my word verification for this post was "LORTBAG"]Ouizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377634340650234707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427479872149952577.post-52974773104810593472010-07-04T13:53:35.772-07:002010-07-04T13:53:35.772-07:00What a beautiful tribute to your sister.
