Laundry The Old Fashioned Way!

A few months ago I had my hubby install me a clothes line. Now when my mom heard this I think she thought I had lost my marbles (LOL!). I didn't and it wasn't my hubby's idea, it was mine. So we headed off to Home Depot and found these really neat retractable clothes lines and my awesome hubby installed them on my covered porch. No bird ickies on my clothes! They are really neat you pull them across and tie them off to use them they stay tight and don't droop. When you are done you just untie them and the roll back up into the spool and they are out of sight!

What started this clothes line idea well I heard that the dryer is one of the most expensive appliances to run and I run mine daily. We are a family of four and the laundry is just a never ending thing! So I figured that if maybe a few times a week if I could skip the dryer and let God's dryer do the work we might save a few bucks. Well here are the results I have managed to use my clothes lines a few times. Every time I go to hang clothes it rains and clothes don't dry in the rain. Nevertheless I have persevered and used that line. Our monthly bill decreased the first month by $60.00 and the next month even with us running the a/c daily my bill was $28.00 less so I guess it is making a difference. I hope to use my lines more this summer now that it is not raining daily! What do you do to save a dime?

Remember to have a Faith Filled Footsteps kind of day!

Sanus and Safe Kids TV Safety!

SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide Launch TV Safety Initiative

 

For many Americans, a flat panel TV is a great way to enjoy family time and entertainment. However, most parents are unaware of the safety risks that flat panel TVs pose for kids. Due to increasing size and new ultra thin designs, today’s flat panel TVs can easily tip over when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and causing injury or even death.

SOMETHING NEW!

Okay..........So this is new to me but I have been offered a chance to be a guest blogger on a blog that I love. So here we go.

First lets start with the good stuff, information! My name is Sarah and 2 years ago I quit my banking job and became a stay at home mommy. I have 2 children my daughter is 11 and my son is 22 months old. We have had a year of change we bought our first home, my daughter moved schools and (YIKES!) I turned 30! Like most homes with a toddler we are always adjusting to a home with a very active little boy. I am married to the preachers son, we have been together for over 10 years and it is never dull! I help with children's church, youth choir (that's my passion) and do just about anything else they need me to tackle. I love the crazy things kids do they make life a hoot.

I am from a small town in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, a beautiful place to visit if you are ever in the area! We are near Historic Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown home to Shepherd University! We are close enough to the Washington D.C. area for a day trip and near the beautiful Maryland Bay area where they have my favorite food ever BLUE MARYLAND CRABS! Maryland is my birth state, we moved to WV when I was a teenager and it has truly become my home! I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I am a huge supporter of the military! I served in the Army after high school and was Honorably discharged in 2002. No words can express the support and love I have for our troops. They give up so many things to support this great country we take for granted! Hoorah! Go Army!

So on to my blog. I am super excited to have this opportunity to be a guest blogger and it has pushed me to start my own blog. This is something I have been working on in my head for awhile. I want to share my faith, fun crafts, food, and how I try daily to pinch pennies to save us money! I hope that you will follow us as we take this next journey and make every day a day with many Faith Filled Footsteps!

Love,
Sarah
