For those who don’t yet know, my family leads a “Feast & Famine” lifestyle. Our paychecks fluctuate by as much as a third. March was a feasting time for us. We were finally able to buy several things we’d been putting off and to tell the truth we really celebrated the abundance.
Then we got paid [...]

Paulson to Propose Financial Market Overhaul
Parsing Paulson’s Proposal
The government is talking about making the Federal Reserve bigger (much, much bigger) so it can better regulate the stock market. I hope it doesn’t come to fruition. My personal belief is that making gov’t bigger is seldom the solution. Making it smaller and putting individuals [...]
I’ve received several letters about my homeschool site and thought I would set things in order.
I did delete the Yahoo Group. I’m honestly not able to keep up with it. I would love to be able to devote the attention to it that it deserves, but that simply isn’t possible. Posts were getting out of [...]
Greetings all. Our computer crashed. I lost everything. Yup, everything. I have back-up copies of Old Fashioned Education, dated copies. But nothing of the new Frugal Abundance site. So I’ll be rebuilding it from scratch. If you have any articles or recipes on FA that you love, please copy them in the next 2 weeks, [...]
Ever since I read Frances Moore Lappe’s book “Diet for a Small Planet” in the mid 1980’s I’ve been aware that my food choices have political ramifications. She points out that some foods, like beef, require a lot more resources than they provide in return, making it a luxury food. To make a pound of [...]
I get literally, hundreds of offers of recipes every year. In the past I was unable to keep up with them. I’ve received so many over the years, that they sometimes seem more of a burden than a gift. I know that sounds mean, and truly I do not mean for it to. I find [...]
Whew, I have worked my fingers and my brain until they’re both bleeding. Well, not really, but I have worked really hard and I am pleasantly exhausted. I took all of the suggestions to heart and tossed them around in my brain until I came up with something that I think sets FA apart [...]
A few folks have mentioned to me how similar Frugal Abundance is to HBHW, and I would like to design it so there are fewer similarities, but to tell the truth, I don’t know how. I considered using color images, but readers have mentioned how much they like the black and white, and to tell [...]
Creamy White Bean & Vegetables Soup– Hearty winter fare. Nourishing and comforting on cold afternoons.
Curried Chickpeas & Sweet Potatoes–Reminiscent of a chicken dish my Mom made for years. I prepared this for lunch on Wednesday when my mom brought my nephew Oscar to visit. Served it with stewed apricots and yogurt and was delighted at how much [...]
Over the weekend I edited the articles under Biblical Womanhood. As I read them I am struck by how my views have changed and how they’ve stayed the same. I still love my headcovering, and I still dress modestly, but as I’ve become more secure in these behaviors, I don’t need the strict rules so [...]
