If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to your
mountain, "MOVE!" and it WILL move... and NOTHING will be
impossible for YOU! - Matthew 17:20
"Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way." -Ralph Crawshaw

Don't get me wrong there are a TON of girly items, but I just feel in love with my picks from this store. Mountain Man George Reviews is HUGE fan of John Wayne, more so since traveling full time in my RV. Now all of these items could handle living in an RV full time. I've enjoyed surfing this store, Kathy has a lot of vintage items that scream out memories for me.

Don't Look Away But Feed Me
Something wonderful happen to me while we were a the bus depot this past week. A man who was semi drunk was asking for a cell phone and thought my wife was holding one - when she stated "Sir this is a electronic book reader (a kindle)", he then stormed off and become vocal in anger at her. He then yelled out for someone to call 911, and a man did. While waiting for 911, this man became even meaner, yelling "HOW HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY, he kept going on and on about it. And my wife calmly says in a firm but gently tone "HOW HAVE YOU SERVED GOD?" - my mouth dropped to the ground and I just stood there in shock. The man just looked at her, and then hung his head down and stayed silent. When the EMT's came he turned down from the rescue agency. The men looked at my wife and nodded her to step aside to talk to her. I swear my wife always seems to be the responsible looking one or just gives that off. I was ashamed at myself because I was irked and annoyed at this man for him making my wife upset, the thing was, the spirit spoke through my wife and she did not see a sick man but an empty man. I don't know if she reached out to him but never stop trying is the lesson I learned that day.
Then I seen this on facebook today and it just confirmed everything I experienced at that bus stop. Don't deny it, we all have been criminals of this, even my wife, but her heart opened up and I soon to follow her lead.

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured below) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service....only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food....NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and started walking down the aisle.....the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples? He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It's something you live by and share with others.

Pet Pals
Yes its true. Dogs and Cats do and can get along. The proof is in the pudding.
Milita our killer dog in which from the first day we got her, we were warned NO PETS other then her. And here she is 4-5 years later, pals with a CAT. Can you imagine that?? True store and here is the proof of that. Junebug is the same age as Milita and SnowPea (not in picture we think is at least 2-3 years older then these two).

DIY is what most crafters are about, and I think thats why this shop sticks out. You get to do your DIY necklaces and other jewelry. Also great for Moms who need something special for themselves and they can tinker away at while sleeping babies sleep. Have a color theme? Not even close to being an issue in this store they have NOTHING but choices. A+ all the way....

Fields of Gold of A Farmers Dream
Fields of Gold of a Farmers Dream….
This is cutting day, but it has to lay there until it is
dried. And then they will come and bail it. Now that is a cool process. From
what I understand a bale of hay averages around $3-5 a bale. Some folks can
have up to a 1000 bale of hay. So weather plays a big key to their success. The
farmers this year had a rain called the “Million Dollar Rain” – meaning a
blessing of rains to produce a healthy batch of product.
For me, it’s a beautiful sight but also give my prayer to
the farmers who can now eat this winter. Funny what we see as beauty is another
person income. Support your local farmers, because when they hurt so do we.

We work a lot with Brides - in fact this year we've grown almost double in customers with brides alone. And every time we have communication with a bride, we also pass this site to them, They are perfect for brides of all seasons. I am a fall groom, and love weddings, I am a sucker for a good wedding. This store caters to all 4 seasons brides. And they do offer a savings program so you could gather 3-4 brides and save even more with one single purchase. SMART shopping!!

MAN Made Barbie Doll Clothes Made by a MAN
Barbie Emporium is alive again....
I needed my shop to be successful because it was my only source of income, and I really wanted it to stay that way. I will put in the amount of work necessary to make it succeed. I believed in myself, and believed I could make this business work.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/BarbieEmporium?ref=si_shop
I am giving myself a 3 month make over and working full force at succeeding at what I love to do most. Sew and design. I have RA which is my biggest battle and sucks the life out of my saving, but fret not I will, because sitting and worrying will not exist in my life - nor will welfare. This is NOT a hobby but my life career. If I do not succeed, not only will I starve, but I will have starved my family as well. NOT EVER an option.

Blogging about a Blogger

One night, my wife couldn't sleep. The car had broken down and our cupboards where empty (and I kid you not, we had planned on stocking up when we hit the local farmers market while traveling) and our saving just got eaten up. There were a lot of tears for my young wife.
So while she was surfing for a miracle, she stopped on over to yahoo news and came across Blissful and Domestic article about a young couple and how they live on such a short leash of a budget. Meanwhile, I was falling asleep, when my wife woke me with such excitement. And so for the next 3-4 hours, I kid you not, we keep reading article after article. And since then, it's still been hard but no more tears for sure.
Since that night
~we saved about $40-60 a week on food
~$120 a year on insurance
~$35 a year on cell service
~$360 on Internet service
We've always entertained at home, or hike or walk the city and such, so we've maintained that. We take the bus to the city (that itself saves us $20 a trip) - but also our car won't make the hills. We do the library thing for our video/books every Tuesday.
To add to the adventure, this July has been the WORST selling month in history for us, so we opt to not freak but work harder. I am back making my doll clothes. Sure its not manly but fear not, I am one. I've opened my store up again and going full force with it this time. Taking all that energy and making it work for us. www.etsy.com/shop/MrsCraftyRVing
The story Danielle is one to read. As a RV er and as a husband, this gal really inspires me to do more for my family. Life is short as we all know. And so I lean more for quality of life then having all my beach homes lined up and matching cars to go with it. I love the fact, that I get to see my wife daily and all day. I value our life together as Danielle does for her family - something we have in common. She's also a quack (in the coolest sense of course) which so reminds me of my wife. So I enjoy all the laughs that comes with her blog.
But what gets me is that, she cares about her followers. My wife submitted a question and wow she did a blog article on that question. Blogger these days about the $$$$ and how having the voice. Which is alright but lets add some heart to it too. Danielle HAS IT.... A complete role model.
Get on over there and check her out. Advice, thrifty living tips and a stay at home Mom that home teaches (we are HUGE HUGE supporter of that - if I could do it all over again, I would of been a stay at home Dad home teaching my 2 sons), recipes that will get you into trouble because she will create cooking monsters in all of us - she's got me baking my own bread daily - and I am not kidding. My wife does not eat the white stuff and so I make my bread for myself and I am addicted to it. And in the same breath saving a ton of money while doing it. And no I don't use a bread maker. it's all from scratch - scratch - scratch....
MOUNTAIN MAN GEORGE REVIEWS:
Danielle is an amazing lady, friend, mother, teacher. I adore her as a role model and I wish to thank her for her wonderful blog. She inspires me and she inspire my wife, and she inspire us as a couple to work together. I am a proud follower of her blog and hope one day to be a wise as she, where others will one day think of me as that way. I wish to thank her for her faith and for her following of the church in which I am now again a member. Lead by example and the rest will fall into place. God Bless her and her family!! I ask for prayers for me and for my wife that we may continue to work as hard as we are now to better ourselves as people, as friends, and as family
