Where Does My Bank of Information Come From?

I have been asked more than a couple of times to share the websites I frequent and places where I gain a whole bank of information on child rearing, homeschooling, saving money, meal planning and preparation, etc. Here are the websites and blogs I use most often and highly recommend:

I think that about summs it up. There may be a few more I'm missing, but I will try to add those if I find them. Hope you find them helpful! Leave me a comment if you have others you recommend as I always love to read other good, Christian websites that can help me!

Losing "Things" and my MIND!

It is not uncommon. Things disappear and reappear. Our children like rearranging our home and redecorating.

This one has been the longest missing so far. The cordless phone from our room disappears for a night and I look high and low for it. Then a week passes and I think it must be in a closet hiding in a shoe where the kids were playing hide-and-seek.
No such luck.
So while cleaning up their "fort" in the living room, I find lots of "missing items".
Low and behold, Dora must have needed a cordless phone for her latest expedition as I found it in Dora's purple back pack!
Sad thing is that now it won't charge on the charger and it won't turn on or anything.
Completely dead.
Much like my mind lately.
