Frugal Baby

Since Frugal Baby is the root of what started this blog, I wanted to dedicate a post to her.


"There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having been married to her husband for seven years until his death. She had lived as a widow since then for eighty-four years. She never left the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment, she came up to them and began to give thanks to God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem" (Luke 2:36-38, NETBible).


Now, she may not be the most prominent character in the Bible, but Anna is definitely a character that was close to God. She dedicated her life to serving him; to the point that she 'never left the temple'. I hope Anna Marie will grow to love God this much!

Anna's second name, Marie, is for my grandmother, whose middle name is Marie. I've only met her twice, but my grandmother is a wonderful, loving woman, that I hope will find a lot of joy in her namesake. She has taught my mom, my sisters, and myself so much.



Good night and God Bless

Here We Go Again!

Well, the start of a new blog. I fell off the old one. Frugal Baby is 1 year old today. She has been in a cloth diaper during that time, and has never tasted formula. I have attended the births of 3 other babies during this time, and helped many a mama conquer the barriers of breastfeeding. I am a wife, a doula, a breastfeeding peer counselor, and a Frugal Mama.

At any rate, my name's Yvonne, but you can call me Frugal Mama. Frugal Baby, or Anna Marie, is my bundle of beautiful baby. I am a breastfeeding, babywearing, cloth diapering, make-my-own-baby-food, juicing, Frugal mama. I hope to cover the adventures of breastfeeding, cloth diapering, homesteading, soap-making, candle-making, and all things cloth/reuseable, and DIY right here, and share the breakdown of costs as I go!

Hope you'll join me!

Edit: I'm loading a lot of of posts from the old blog here, so bare with me. :]
