Make

Re-Use, Re-Cycle, Re-Ferber - a motto to live by.

A little history - I grew up in a home, the same home, with almost nothing brand new adorning it. The house, that is.  The Ferber house. New siblings seemed to come every two years or so.  The big joke was how old or worn or handed down, handed down something was.  But, we were happy.  Mom and dad made a HOME for us.  A house can be filled with many new things, but a home has peace, love, joy, hope, contentment, make it work, make it fit, make it last another year (or decade) attitudes in it.  So, I thought it fitting, since we rarely stray far from our family of origin (in terms of being set in our ways), to designate an entire page to this concept.  We've adopted it at some level in our life.  Here's how we choose to be frugal, provident and resourceful with our time, talent and treasure.
