Beach Cheap

In 2006, our lives changed. We both worked in real estate. And then the bubble popped. We had our first daughter. And I became a stay-at-home-Mom.
To survive, we cut our expenses. We cancelled the cable and house phone. No more eating out. No more trips to the mall.
It may seem extreme, but we didn't suffer. And here's why: we weren't just cheap. We were Beach Cheap.
This is our journey, sprinkled with tips that will take you from Cheap to Beach Chic, by way of BEACH CHEAP.

3 AM Musings

I've been reading more of Linda Lael Miller's McKettrick books.

And I was musing, "I wonder, if I practiced enough, if maybe I could learn to concoct a tale that rouses such emotion. Or if I could start a business that would grow into a successful company. I wish I had a family legacy that would tell me what I'm capable of.
McKettrick-tough. McKettrick-true.

But I don't... Well, of course I do!

I am the daughter of the King. I am part of the most thoroughly researched family of all time. The Bible contains my family history. God is my Father. Jesus Christ, Lord of all creation, is my Brother. The Holy Spirit is my guide and comforter.

'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' "

And so can you.

Amen!

And blessings to you all.
