This month starts a new monthly feature called Small Business Moms (if you would like to participate, I'll be sharing a link at the end of this post). Since Logger's Wife not only helps you stretch your budget, but also helps you learn how to make extra money at home, I wanted to feature some of you great work at home moms. Not only does that help those moms get exposure, it helps encourage the rest of us that working from home and running our own business really is possible! This month's … [Read more...]
Preschool Winter Activities – For Inside and Outside
Unless you live someplace where it doesn't really get cold or snow in the winter, winter can be a time of being cooped up. Cabin fever sets in pretty quickly, especially for those with younger children. Frankly, I'm convinced it is long, cold winters that cause mamas to go a bit crazy. There isn't much worse than being stuck in a house with children going stir crazy. It's not much better for those kids either. Preschool winter activities can be hard to think about when your brain is already … [Read more...]
Frugal Pregnancy – Second and Third Trimesters
Congrats! You have made it through the sickness, bloating, exhaustion, acne, and mood swings of the first trimester. Or maybe that was just me.

Growing Our Family and Fears of Having a Second Child
I am happy to share with you that we will be welcoming a new baby to our family in May! Abby is ecstatic to be a big sister. Matt is so happy.

That may seem odd to you since we very much wanted to expand our family. But something happened to me after the miscarriage. I started questioning so much of my life. … [Read more...]
Lessons for “Those Days”- Imperfect Mom Confessional
Yes, I am still on my blogging break but before I made that decision, I agreed to guest post at Busy Being Blessed as part of their Imperfect Mom Confessionals series. I think we’ve all had those days when we just absolutely don’t want to be a mom. It may be because we have spent the day cleaning up messes, dealing with tantrums, and trying to teach obedience. It may be simply because we are tired and don’t want to play or talk or even be touched. Whatever the reason, we all have those … [Read more...]
How to Help a Friend Going Through a Miscarriage
It was a hot, summer Wednesday. I was busy with something I had to get done for the weekend when I got a positive pregnancy test. It was faint so I pulled out the expensive digital test to check. Negative. That was one of the longest afternoons of my life as I didn't know which test was correct. The next day, Thursday, I went to the store and picked up some new tests. Positive. Tested again Friday morning. Still positive. We were ecstatic! We had been trying for over a year. We even told a few … [Read more...]
