Meet Me!
I am a wife to my dear husband and homeschooling Mommy to 6 children: ages 1 month – 13 yrs. Four boys, two girls. We live in God’s country, TN and are striving to raise our family for the Lord. I enjoy reading, cooking, cleaning, surfing the net, and just enjoying life with my family.
We try to live simply and frugally not just out of necessity but because we like it! I love to search for a good bargain and we rarely pay full price for anything. Yard sales, thrift stores, 2nd hand stores and hand-me-downs supply us with most of our needs.
Eating healthy is on our list of priorities although we have been known to consume a twinkie here and there. I usually grind wheat and make our bread, and we try when possible to eat whole foods. On the other hand, we are not food snobs and I still make plenty of processed foods. I’d like to think we have a good balance.
Church and the ministry are our lives and we are happy to be serving in whatever capacity our Pastor needs. My husband is the assistant pastor and I play the piano and we both teach Sunday school & children’s church.
I have homeschooled our children for 7+ years. I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. OK…maybe I have imagined it just a time or two on really stressful days when nothing is going right…But we are committed to home educating and know that in the end the Lord will bless our efforts as the Bible says in Galatians 6:9 – And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
We have used several types of curricula through the years, but have settled for the foreseeable future on the Robinson Curriculum, tailored to suit our particular needs and expectations.
I like to write about all the things mentioned above, but you certainly will find me blogging about other topics such as gardening, decorating, and basically anything you’d chat with a friend about.
These are just a few things about me, but as you visit here at Better is Little, hopefully you’ll get to know me even better!

Amanda,
I came to check out the coupons you had mentioned on Face Book, but got side tracked by your menu.:-) I looks great!! I will have to try some of the meals! Now I am going to look at the coupons.
God Bless,

Hi! I found you via WFMW and could tell from looking at your book list that I would like your blog since I’m getting ready to start homeschooling. I’m looking forward to perusing it more! Blessings!

Keep up the great work!

Hi Amanda and family, I stumbled onto your site through the KJV forum that I joined yesterday. It’s always nice to see fellow like minded believers. I do, however, eat a lot of junk food.
