Hello dear friends. I had great hopes of blogging regularly through all our packing and moving… but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

I’ve been just plum tuckered out lately! Between two trips back home, house-hunting, packing, saying lots and lots of good-byes and getting all the logistics of moving ready, there just hasn’t been much time for blogging.

Thanks for your patience with me and my very sporadic posts. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal soon!

And now, thanks so much for joining Jenn and me for our 22nd Thrifty Thursday link-up! We’ve been learned so much from you all and been inspired as we seek to be good stewards of what God has blessed us with.

Your posts last week were wonderful and (as always) we had a really hard time selecting which ones to feature. But here are a few of our favorites.

Barb, from A Life in Balance, gets us thinking ahead with frugal tips for the holiday season!

Mrs. White, from The Legacy of Home, shares her perspective on what a housewife is worth {it really makes you think!}

Priscilla from The Blissful Wife, shows us how to make homemade vanilla extract–yum! {And can I just say that her house looks beautiful in the background of that photo?}
