| RE: Inexpensive Church Mother's Day Project Ideas |
|
Last year my Sunday school students turned their hands into flowers. We traced each students hands on several different colors of construction paper and poked a chenille stick through the center. We then gently "rounded" the hands up so they appeared almost like tulips. We put them in our vases of old toilet paper holders that we covered in construction paper with a note from the child and their favorite bible verse to share with mom. ... View related article. |

| RE: Use Rags Instead Of Paper Towels |

We've even done away with the paper napkins and use cloth for everything including school lunches. My daughter's friends think it's cool that she is "so fancy" and my husband's co-workers think it's cool he's "green", some have even started following suit. ... View related article. |

First, Happy Birthday. It wouldn't be weird at all. It would be "weird" if you just invited guys to even out the numbers. Remember the day is about YOU not about whether there is someone for each one of them to partner up with. ... View related article. |

Someone gave me a clothesline gift at my baby shower. She started in outfits that I could put on my daughter when she came home and ended the line with clothes that would fit when she was about a year. The gift was wonderful and so very appreciated. ... View related article. |

How About "Fishers of Men". You could use the back of someone's pickup, make it look like a boat and have people onboard with fishing rods. You could also throw out small packs of swedish fish with your church's information, such as name, location, phone and times of worship. ... View related article. |

| RE: Getting By on a Low Income |
If I'm repeating someone else, I'm sorry. I think it's great you live within your means. So many people just don't get that concept. The first thing to do is track all you spending for one month...the stick of gum, the coffee to the electric bill. You may find some "extra money". Another area we seem to overspend is on groceries. There is a great book by Amy Dczyczyn called the "Tightwad Gazette". I would highly recommend borrowing from the library. It is loaded with REAL information that real people can use. My husband and I started following some of her advice about two years ago and have since been able to save enough to pay cash for a car and an addition on our home...he only makes 46000 a year and I make between 8-10,000.
Another thing you can do is go to www.allstate.com and click on their financial section. You don't have to be a customer (I'm not and we use it). They have different calculators, financial advice and downloadable budget guides.
As far as your friends who "have it all". I thought the same thing about our friends until I heard them complain about the credit card bills piling up and wondering if they were going to make the mortgage on their huge home.
Turn saving money into a game and you may just end up having fun...there's nothing quite as exciting as finding an expensive item at a yard sale for $1!!! ... View related article. |
