Have you heard the one about the homeschooling family that lives on less than $22K a year in an area that costs above 100% (116%) of the National CoL Index?
I haven't quite figured out why so many people still persist in perpetuating the myth that living on a single income and homeschooling on a dime aren't possible. I can only suppose these are people who can't imagine life without a daily trip to Starbucks and dinner out several times a week. The people who actually shop at malls (*shudder*) and think "Brand Name = Best". The people who really live by the "Keeping up with the Joneses" mentality.
That? Would not be us!
Welcome to our world. We cook from scratch. Buy from thrift stores. Find 95% of our homeschool materials for free. This is my blog and this is how we do it.

And if you're looking for "Gifts in a Jar" type recipes, here's a site with dozens to choose from: FOOD GIFTS FROM YOUR KITCHEN - (Watch for people selling canning jars at garage sales; you can often pick them up for mere pennies and just buy replacement lids if needed. Since you are not actually canning the food for safety/storage, you can even buy plastic screw-on lids.)Labels: recipe chatter
