{{{$200 SAVED}}} Switched from Contact Lenses to Glasses  I've always despised the way I look in glasses. Maybe because when I first got glasses, it was the 80's. So all I remember from that experience were the big hair, bangs and large maroon frames hiding my face! So when I found out about contact lenses in middle school, I was all over it and never desired to go back to frumpy frames again. Well, not until I started having kids that is! When I first was married, we had two incomes and forking out $200 a year for an exam and lenses was no problem. But when I had to choose contacts or diapers after our first child, well I'm sure you can figure out what I chose, thankfully! Now that my youngest is potty training and diapers won't be seen around here for a while, I still can't even bear the thought of spending so much on contacts anymore! Especially when you can buy glasses, without having your info updated each year and can buy frames online for less than $2...

a Rafflecopter giveaway Reading Horizons At Home Welcome to Thrift Schooling's  Grand Opening Giveaway!!  One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is watching my  kids learn how to read. The first time they read a sentence,  on their own, is priceless. I love these beginning years,  teaching and training the basics to help build a strong  foundation so they eventually  will become strong readers.  My husband and I both love to read, books flood our living  room, dining room and, well, the whole house. Even with  resources galore on the Internet, as far as reading goes,  there is nothing more satisfying than a good old-fashioned  book! As parents, our hope is to grow our children into life  long learners and in order to do that they need to obtain  the basic, every day skills involved with reading. Since my children are raised in a ho...

I still remember when The Passion hit the theaters. You know, the movie directed by Mel Gibson about Jesus' crucifixion. It sure did cause  controversy in the media but needless to say, it was a powerful depiction of what Jesus endured.  I was in Bible school at the time and a small group of us were on a team that traveled to different churches. On one of our days off, we went to see the film. I'll never forget walking into the pastor's home after the movie, all somber and sober as if we just returned from a funeral. The looks on our faces were intense and nobody spoke a word. Our leader, who had stayed back with his wife, took one look at us and said, " you do know that Jesus rose from the dead, right ?" At that moment it hit me, the cross is an integral part of the Christian experience, but the story does not end there. The power lies in that fact that even though he endured a terrible punishment as an innocent man, Jesus did indeed rise again that ...
