    Thanks for so many great tips. I especially like the blog about making it work on less than $28k a year… my husband is a mechanic at a dealership, but he has severe rheumatoid arthritis and can’t move as quickly as he used to, so his salary contribution is much less than it used to be. We have had a hard time adjusting, but your blog makes it so much easier, and knowing we aren’t alone is a big help too! My 3 pins are here:

    I really like what you have to say! Very interesting! We make more than $28,000 a year but have student loan debt and credit card debt… it seems like we barely make it month to month. I look forward to really going in depth reading what you have to say and seeing what I can implement into our household. I don’t want to have to get a job and leave my kids. They are 4 years old and 18 months and both really need their mom at home. Here are my 3 pins!

    I am so thankful for your series on living on less than $28,000 a year. I have been trying to make a budget work for my fiance and I and his two sons. We are getting married in September and I began to stress that we would never be able to save enough money. Your ideas really helped us organize and now every 2 weeks we are able to put away $800 in savings for the wedding (not including our bill savings and gas/groceries). Thanks for taking the time to help others!!

    Here are my pins:

    I’ve been following for a bit now, I found you at the start of your income posts! I was excited because so many “budget” ideas/stories are so far off base for our family..$25,000 for 6… but yours was right on!

    How could I not follow this? What really got me inspired was reading what you spend on your housing costs…mine are way lower and yet we still come up short.

    The 3 things I love and learned in this blog:
    1st of all your desire to serve the Lord and what an inspiration you are to the rest of us.
    2nd is finding out all about the gluten free things you can make. (I miss chocolate brownies)
    3rd and on the same subject above, your weekly menus. I love how you are so organized with that.

  28. Sue thompson says

    I pinned 3 things but don’t know how to include the 3 pins here, oops! One was five fall activities, one was 100$ month food budget may 11 and one ways to make some extra cash! So many helpful ideas on your site, I already am a winner just getting the ideas! ( but the 100 gift card sure would come in handy! 😉 )

  29. Katie Cover says

    http://pinterest.com/pin/223068987763580906/ – this is a great service that you have informed me about. I am excited to use their service and have some help in this process.

    http://pinterest.com/pin/223068987763580878/ – having what is on the menu for the week helps me stick to what we are having and lessens the chances I grab something from a drive thru

    http://pinterest.com/pin/223068987763580865/ – I needed a serious tool to get organized with our busy schedule of doctors appt and work. Great tool

  34. Julie says

    I pinned 3! I am new to your blog, but already I have found so many things interesting and helpful. We are now a 1.5 income family of 5 soon to be a 1 income family of 5, so saving and planning is exactly what I am into at the moment.

    I discovered your site through pinterest (Living on less than $28,000/year) and I began following your blog and subscribed to your e-mails. You give me inspiration to get our budget on track and live more frugal in order to pay off debt. If a family of 6 can do it, our family of 3 definitely can! My son is 10 months old, and I find myself being stressed to the max and your posts help me clear my thoughts and find inexpensive ways to treat myself and rejuvenate my soul. Thank you!!

  60. RejoicedOver says

    I actually originally found your site through Pinterest! I’m a follower now and pinned three things.
    Life on Purpose (binder printables)
    Easy Meal planning
    Family fun

    Thanks for all the great ideas!!

  62. Samantha Deason says

    I’m in love with this site! For the past hour I’ve been combing through all of your posts! I’m also addicted to pinterest so it’s good that I can follow you! I just told my mom about your site too. We are currently slowly being dragged by our financial issues and are praying for a way out. I’m glad I stumbled upon your site =)

    I pinned your stuff haha expect more though

    I pinned 3 gluten free ideas! Love your blog and all your great ideas. I just read the “drinking water” one and it hit home with me. I could save so much if I didn’t buy juice – my body doesn’t need it anyways!!!

  69. Kimberly says

    I have been so inspired by your blog!

    My hubby and I are following your series week-by-week

    I have learned a lot from your blog! My savings has grown this past month, I am trying not to buy as much coffee out, and in fact, I am making it a goal to pack my coffee before I leave all week this week! It’s the little things but they will add up! And tonight, date night with my husband, I am making a lovely dinner at home! I learned a lot from the date night post you posted yesterday!

    Thanks for your ideas!

    I love basically everything on your blog. I’m a high school science teacher, so I really enjoy seeing your science experiments. I’m always trying to remember my passwords, so the password keeper is awesome. And last but not least, what mom doesn’t need reassurance that what we are doing is good enough, even if we aren’t perfect 🙂

    I don’t usually follow blogs and I have never posted to one. But, ever since I read your inspirational posts about how to say no, why you exercise, momcations and so on I keep coming back. We are super struggling with too high debt, kids with medical problems and just managing our money. I really find your blog very inspirational. I am nodding “YES” when I read your insights and it is a reminder to me to be more positive for my family and also to take care of myself. I can totally identify with your life because I too homeschool and struggle to feed and take care of my family on limited income. You have taught me how to keep things simple and to remain focused on the things that matter most! Thank you so much for taking the time you do to blog!! I will look forward to more insights and menu plans!

    I’m following you on Pinterest and pinned three things from your website 🙂 Love the recipes and money saving tips!

    I’m a week away from becoming a first time mother and I’m learning ways to start saving money so we can do more things without feeling like we’re strapped. We have found that having children is very expensive and we haven’t even had our baby yet. 🙂 I’m enjoying your site and learning the ways to make our dollar stretch. Thanks for all your ideas.

    I am always looking for recipes that my picky family members will eat. I made this last week and they fell in love with it!
    https://thepeacefulmom.com/2010/06/16/hamburger-casserole-recipe/

    We have been struggling financially for years. This has definitely helped me figure out where we were going wrong. We are still a ways from where we want to be but y our series has helped put us on the right track.

    (don’t know how to make them show up as links, sorry!)

    I originally found out about your blog on Pinterest, actually! I saw that a friend had re-pinned your “Living on 28,000 or less” series and it caught my attention. I have been visiting every day since (literally everyday- several times!).. so many of the things you post are SO helpful! I am fairly new at this whole wife and mother thing (I’m only 22) and I am gleaning MUCH wisdom from you! THANKS!

  131. Carly says

    Thank you so much for all your fantastic ideas! I just found your page a week ago, but have found SO many things to help my budget and meal planning! Here is a link to my Pinterest board with my three peacefulmom pins. Thanks!

    I pinned your diy kitchen scrubbie when I first started checking out your blog – love it!

    I’ve also been using your freedom account spreadsheet as a guide for my own household, so just pinned that.

    And I pinned the household binder from your Take Ten series.

    Thank you!

  142. Bri says

    I have really enjoyed your living on less series as we make about the same amount of money (though we only have 2 toddlers right now). It’s totally changed how I work our budget (for the better) and given me realistic ideas for how much we should spend on food (most other estimates are way higher than what we have, but based on your info we’re right on track) 🙂 Here’s what I pinned:

    I LOVE the Gluten-free recipes! I just decided to go GF this year and have felt AMAZING. I also avoid dairy, corn and rice (I have to get a little creative sometimes but it’s all good 🙂
    I am looking forward to learning more about your family as I read your blog – kudos to you for making it all work 🙂 I am going to homeschool my 2 daughters and am always looking for new ideas for that as well (esp. how to do it cheaply!)
    I’m a huge fan of WalMart so I would totally love the gift card!

      Oops – I forgot to add what I re-pinned from your Pinterest. All GF pix and recipes. Love it!
