As the economy continues to decline, more folks are adopting some frugal practices. For Toni, a military housewife and homeschooling mom of six, frugality has long been a way of life. Frugal living is one of the topics she blogs about at happyhousewife.wordpress.com, sharing with readers her experience with coupon shopping, inexpensive entertainment for children, menu planning and more. In a July post, her husband explains his reluctance and eventual acceptance to adopt a frugal lifestyle: “I wanted my stuff and I wanted it right away. This is pretty standard for our society today — it’s just not biblical.” Families who homeschool or are considering homeschooling will find plenty of advice on curriculum, freebies, organization and resources.

Warning: If you haven’t been reading stufffchristianslike. blogspot.com since it began in March, you might get sucked in and find it hard to stop reading to catch up. Stuff Christians Like is a takeoff on the popular blog Stuff White People Like. Christian blogger Jon, a 30-something husband and father in Georgia, writes about everyday church and cultural experiences. He recently tackled church camp, number of children saved and the tough job of being a janitor. Dig into the archives for posts including “No. 202 Thinking Vegas is slightly worse than hell,” “No. 192 Using ’love on’ as a verb” and “No.53 Saying ’I’ll pray for you’ and then not.”
