Yesterday we went to the Merry Christmas Tree Farm in Central, SC. It’s our family tradition. We have done this for a number of years now. You can watch the video. We first began getting our trees from a “neighborhood farm” when we lived in Peppertree. Tristen was a “babe in arms” when we went [...]

Here’s the irony: I made a New Year’s resolution to stop texting while driving. I proudly (emphasis on proudly) say that I have not texted while driving since late last year. I made the resolution after watching the sobering video. On February 17th a lady pulled out in front of me and totaled our car. On April [...]
It has been awhile since I have blogged. I’m gonna be honest here…I am uber-busy, which is the new way of saying super-busy. We are very busy. I’m not even sure where this Spring has gone and now it is Summer. Let’s see… Ansa had a birthday in March. We took a birthday trip to [...]

It has been a long time since I have blogged here. We have not disappeared by no means. Our life has sped up to such a pace that some things have had to be set aside. Blogging for the family has been one of those things. God has poured out his blessings on our business, [...]
Each of the last several years we’ve had the joy of heading to The Christmas Tree Farm in Central, SC to get our tree.

We are keeping a little girl for friends today. Haydn came downstairs and said, “This is just too much. There are too many girls here!” Praise God for my son. Sometimes there are just too many girls. Where can a man be a man in this world? Oh yeah, and grandma is down from NC [...]
Tristen was sitting at the kitchen bar tonight thinking about how we are continuously blessed by our friends. That would be an accurate statement. And she said, It seems like every day we get surprises. It was cool. I’m glad she knows this. God has been so kind to us. When I look at the [...]
We were able to take the children to see the circus through the kindness of a friend. Tristen has been counting the weeks down in anticipation of their surprise: “something Ansa hasn’t done yet”. The walk from the parking garage to the BiLo center was dark and there was a strong ICY wind blowing. Ansa [...]
We just had our first free Mac class downtown Greenville. The folks at iPlace are pretty awesome, patient and accommodating. If you live in Greenville and want to pick up some free classes you can go on their website and figure out which ones you want to take and then sign up. They will be [...]
Frugality for the Glory of God and Blessings for My Family
Posted: December 17, 2008 by RickThomasNet in home life, household, LuciaBeing frugal always sounded like a hardship to me, dull, lifeless, medieval, but in an effort to see if we can live on less, I’ve decided to pursue using coupons in my shopping. A friend showed me a free e-book at couponmom.com to get me started. I also read blogs on how shoppers purchased $200 worth [...]
