Simple As Socks
This week I have been SO overwhelmed by how good God is! When my husband and I were first married, he was an independent contractor and I had no job – we definitely weren’t ballin’ (and all the newlyweds said, “AMEN!”). We’re not destitute by any means, we have more than we could have ever…

Stuff We Don’t Buy // Part 9
Okay, so for a while, my husband and I were not drinking Starbucks because this list came out naming the companies that donate to Planned Parenthood and Starbucks happened to be one of them. Also, with the drinks ranging from at $3-$5 each, we decided that it would be best to deny ourselves since…
