Ditch the Junk for Lent: A 40 Day Challenge Today, for Christians around the world, is the first day of Lent. A 40 day/40 night period between Ash Wednesday and Easter.

I have a confession to make… trying to find a balance between frugality and healthy, especially when it comes to groceries, has not been easy.

And is one method more effective than others? 3 Ways to Get Your Family On Board with Healthy Eating Have you ever found yourself preparing different meals for each member of the family?
