About Me

My photo
Pamela
For most of my adult life (67 years) I have consciously lived a simple, frugal life. This was a lifestyle choice for me, but with today's poor economy, it has become a life necessity. I hope to share my frugal philosophy with others, hopefully helping them and learning a few tips for my own use. Now for a bit of personal information. I am a Mennonite, mother of a young adult woman and wife of 43 years. I spend my time running my household the old fashioned way, cooking from scratch, canning our food, gardening, sewing, knitting, spinning (not on a bike), cleaning, writing book reviews and worshipping.
