Some inventions change the world – electricity, the internet, indoor plumbing. Others, well, might not be quite as earth-shattering as airplanes, flat-screen TVs and smart-phones. They fly under the radar, unbeknownst to most people, but they have the potential to change the lives of those willing think outside the box and give them a try. As a family, we like to pride ourselves on being willing to try almost anything (within reason, of course… no crack cocaine for us thank you!), so when we … [Read more...]

While he teaches specifics that any family who wants to get out of debt and attain to financial freedom should follow, the basic things we have done to get and (for the most part) stay out of … [Read more...]
Easy homemade cornbread
Being a bread lovin’ family living in the South, we are REQUIRED to love cornbread! Well, maybe that is a little strong, but it sure does seem to be common ‘round these parts. We Morefields love to find any excuse to make homemade cornbread! I’ll give our basic cornbread recipe and then some optional add-ins we really enjoy. For the cornmeal, we love to grind our own. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. We use the same grinder for our wheat, and grind popcorn kernels for cornmeal. … [Read more...]
