It also helps be content with less. I feel it is way more logical to want less than to work harder at a job you may not like to purchase more.

I have heard of Mrs Beeton but have never read any of her writings so I may just have to borrow that book from the library. We are so blessed to be able to stay home and care for it and our families. Have a great weekend.
