This blog is written for homeschoolers, many of us living on one income in a two-income economy. Prayerfully, we will discover the fruits of living frugally . . . together. And maybe share a tip or two.

The Pen Eating Sofa
If you're getting short on pens and pencils don't go out to the store to buy new ones. Just do what I do -- put your hand in between the cushions of your sofa and you'll be sure to find anywhere from 5 to 10 pens and pencils. You'll save a ton of money doing this.
I don't think I've bought a pen in at least 13 years. That was the year I started college, and it was also the year I started finding and keeping left-behind pens at the Loyola University library, which were there in spades, as they surely are in most any other library.
Then, when I started teaching, I was forever finding pens on the floor at the end of the day.

Now, I find, free pens seem to be everywhere.
Great idea John! Next time I'm at the library I'm sending the kids on a pen scavenger hunt!
