Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hi friends!
      In light of our difficult economy, I wanted to share some of my favorite resources, and mention that if anyone has any frugal type of ideas/resources, I¡¦d love to hear about them. I¡¦m looking for inspiration, encouragement, ideas, and any help possible in this area.


I love websites that help with simplicity and frugality, something on which God works with me constantly, but this is my favorite of all:
Cindy's Porch website

Another really great one is:
Hillbilly Housewife website

And another is:
The Dollar Stretcher website

All three of these great sites also have free email newsletters for which you can sign up. I¡¦ve been very blessed by all of them, and hope they help you too! If anyone else has great frugal/simplicity sites or ideas, I¡¦d welcome them! ƒº

Blessings and Peace,
Tracy Q.

The writings of Mother Teresa always inspire me to frugality and simplicity.

My friend Toni's blog, The Happy Housewife, is a great resource, especially if you're a military wife or a homeschooler. (She is both, and Christian. My kids dethroned me and installed Toni as Pasta Queen after I made her chicken tetrazzini recipe.)

Great thread, Tracy!
