Short on time? Read (and share your thoughts on) family-friendly at-home phone options. The other day, someone advised me against using the word "simple" because one definition of simple is "ordinary" and that's not very exciting for the online world. As I was thinking about this, I realized that "ordinary" is one of the most fitting ways to describe my life right now. Show me a long string of simple, ordinary days at home and I'll show you a thriving family... perfectly content with un-hurried mornings, afternoons spent playing outside together, fuss-free meals around the table, early bedtimes, and doing it all again tomorrow. Yes... "ordinary" sounds just about right to me! If simple and ordinary sound good to you, you're in the right spot here on the World Wide Web. Simple Food. If your holiday food goals are "easy to prepare in advance" and "really yummy" I've got you covered! Simplify your menu --> My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes Organized Home. You don't need to clean your home from top to bottom every week (I certainly don't) but I do try to get my hands on every space in my home 3 times each year. I promise, it's easier than you might think! Read more --> My Year-Round Approach to Home Maintenance Intentional Living. Dave and I are in the market for an "at-home phone"... a.k.a. a cell phone we will leave at home for the kids. I'm hoping you can help! I'd love to learn about the at-home phone options that work for you -- especially if they are frugal, low hassle, and great for younger kids. I know so many other readers would be interested in this information too! Weigh in --> Family-Friendly "At-Home Phone" Options In other news... I started drinking tea -- it's been an on-and-off thing since summer. I still dislike it, but I feel more grown-up now that I can choke down a hot beverage if the situation arises. I guess that's a win! (Let me know if you have a favorite tea for me to try.) ------- Save big with an ID.me account! I might be the last person to find about this... but if you are a veteran, military personal, first responder, nurse, teacher, or student, you can create an ID.me account for free and get HUGE discounts on hundreds of stores and online retailers! We just saved 40% on an Under Armour Outlet purchase thanks to Dave's teacher status! ------- And speaking of saving big... the infamous Black Friday discount codes will hit your inboxes in the next couple of weeks... plan ahead to capitalize on those deals. Make your photo calendars and photo books now, so when the free calendar or 50% off photo book codes arrive, you're ready to order. I finished up all my photo gifts over the weekend... now I'll just wait for the codes! ------- If you're looking for a source of non-hyped-up news from a Christian perspective, I highly recommend The Pour Over. I've enjoyed their weekly news emails for the last several months. It's been a great way for me to stay somewhat informed without feeling bogged down by so much negativity. -------- My roses are STILL blooming in November (they start blooming in May). If you're looking for roses that are low-maintenance and high-performance, I highly recommend Double-Blooming Knockout Roses! That's all for this week. Thanks for sticking around this ordinary little space. 😉 And... please share your thoughts about at-home phone options! Blessings, ~ Andrea |
