Positively Georgia: The Motivational Tale of a Unique Airedale (Book Review)

Dog stories always become my favorite. That’s why I have so many collections of books related dog’s tale. Positively Georgia is one of my favorite books. Liz Ferris, author of this book knows how to get inside the mind of a dog and it’s where I want to be. Though there were many similarities with other Dog’s tale book, it was different enough to be enjoyable. I loved this books and I feel a special connection to the dog in this story.

This was truly an inspiring read. This story reminds me of the dedication required to become the person, or in this case, the dog, we all are supposed to be. We must all strive to live, be positive and be confident. After all, we are called to love one another. (more…)

Manifesting Your Dreams

Manifestation is mostly about discovering your inner-self and getting acquainted with it where your dreams can be a part of your real life.

This is probably true and it is really possible as you can find many people that have learned the skill of manifestation and they are able to realize their dreams and there is a law generally known as the law of attraction.

Manifestation provides you with direct control through your life and it can make you more powerful and very humble in a way that you come to know the facts of your life.

You can create a dream, give thought to something special, and specify a goal for your life. However, without correct manifestation of those dreams, thoughts, and ideas you will never be able to make them happen in your real life and you can never put them into action in your life and make these dreams, thoughts, and ideas real.

Feeding your family by hunting and fishing

One of the nice things about being married to an avid outdoorsmen is our freezer is always full of meat and fish.  We have mostly venison from the fall hunting season and fish from the spring and summer months.  It isn’t enough to feed us everyday, but it is plenty enough that has saved us a substantial amount on our grocery bill.

I rarely talk about hunting and fishing on this blog and I’m really not sure why.  Hunting and fishing can be a great part of living a frugal lifestyle.  Not only has it provided meat for our table but it also has provided us with enjoying time together.  Sure you can spend a ton of money and both sports, but you can also find ways to keep those cost to a minimum. When it comes to deep sea fishing, it’s best to invest in compact and travel-friendly fishing gear so you can take it with you wherever you and your family go for vacation. The best travel fishing rod is one that takes into consideration the portability and puts your convenience at top priority.

Kristine and I take part in a lot of online outdoor communities and a big part of what we talk about is getting kids outdoors and back to nature.  I remember when I was a kid, I knew a lot of kids that enjoyed hunting and fishing and each of them has their own weather proof hunting backpack.   (more…)

The Great Coupon Experiment

The first thing I discovered is I’m probably an atypical food buyer, at least when it comes to coupons.  A lot of the foods for which coupons are offered are things I wouldn’t buy either because my lifestyle doesn’t call for them (things like diapers or pet food) or because of dietary restrictions ( I have to watch salt so a lot of packaged or processed foods are out).   This means that some of the coupons that I might otherwise use I don’t use, which then limits my potential savings.

Still, I did find out a few useful things this week.  One is that there are a lot of useful online sites where I can find and print coupons for free.   This had concerned me a little bit, because I tend to read my news online and paying for a Sunday paper simply for the coupons seemed kind of wasteful.  Now I’ve discovered I can find the same coupons online, which means I can save the cost of the paper and still find the coupons I need.   I particularly liked the Smartsource coupon site, and found it easy to use.
