Grand Plans

Earlier this year, I was thinking about my blog. My poor neglected blog. And I thought that it might be nice to try to get back to knitting more. I've missed knitting and how it soothes me. I figured that if I was knitting, I'd have things to blog about.

That was in early January. How early? Before my birthday (the 4th).

HOWEVER, I now have another reason to get back to blogging. 

This year I am doing the Live Below the Line challenge at the end of April. Check out the link for more detail, but basically I (and thousands of others) commit to spending $1.50 or less on food every day for 5 days. That's $7.50 for 5 days. This number was chosen because of the millions of people who live on less than $1.50 per day for EVERYTHING. I'm just limiting my food budget to that amount.

The Live Below the Line challenge has two purposes: it raises awareness and it raises money for global charities through sponsorship. I've chosen UNICEF as my charity, and if you're feeling generous, you can sponsor me here. I will also be blogging there from now through the end of the challenge (May 2, 2014). I'm going to try to blog about it here as well. And during the challenge itself (April 28 to May 2), I'll be posting pics of my meals to my Twitter account.

(Deenie is also doing the challenge. It's her second year. She's the one who got me into it. Her sponsorship page is here.)

Hopefully the knitting will come.
