About
If you’re on this page then I suppose you want to know a little more about me.
FAITH
The most important thing about me? I am a child of God, saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I cling to His promises that His mercies are new every morning and He will never leave me nor forsake me. It is because of Him that I can approach each day with new hope and strength, otherwise I’d probably just stay in bed
FAMILY
I’m married to the most amazing (and strong-willed) man who also happens to be an awesome father. We are a step-family and have six wonderfully unique (and challenging) children between us, five of which are still at home. When we married a little over six years ago, I became a stay at home mom. It was quite the adjustment for me but so worth it.
FRUGALITY
My frugal journey began about five years ago (you can read about it here) and it March 2009 that I started blogging about it.
Our choice to live frugally isn’t so much about saving money for the sake of saving (or living better) as it is about maintaining a lifestyle that allows us to manange all we’ve been givien in ways that most please God and bless others.
FOCUS
I love the Proverbs 31 wife. Not because she’s perfect and certainly not because she’s busy…but because she’s intentional and strives to do her best for the glory of God and He is her source for all that she endeavors. I want to end each and every day being able to say “today I have lived intentionally“. I desire to be a faithful steward of all the resources God has loaned to me whether it be my time, talents, money…whatever.
And hopefully, someday, my God will say “well done my good and faithful servant“. Or in the least case scenario, my husband and children will rise up and call me blessed!
My desire is for Simple Saving Savvy to be a simple, practical, ethical and encouraging environment to help you manage the resources God has loaned to you.
Everyday you can find money saving deals, coupon match ups, freebies, online bargains and tips for purposeful living right here.
I’ll also encourage you to “give back” out of the abundance that you’ve been given, whether it is by teaching others to save or passing along the items you get for free to those who need them.
Proverbs 31:16 says “She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard”.
I hope you begin to see quite a few profits in your own life and budget from reading Simple Saving Savvy, but more than that, I hope you will take these concepts and use them to allow your life to profit INTO the lives of others and plant your own vineyard. Now that’s stewardship!
