I'm not great at making my own laundry soap. I have bought all the supplies to do it, a couple of times actually.. I have never really stuck with it, though I know it is cost effective. My tip for you today, although it's common sense, is worth saying- Use less soap! The ...
Ditching Toxins- 1 Year Later
Almost exactly a year ago I posted about how freaked out I am by toxins. Since then I DID actually pull out the lotions that had parabens listed in the ingredients, or had a list of ingredients longer than I cared to read. I tried making my own deodorant (& toothpaste), which worked better ...
Learning something new.
My friend Jennifer came over last weekend and taught me how to knit. I'm thankful for this new activity, & getting to spend time with her. I'm not sure if it is something I will keep up, but it has been fun to try. As I struggled with how to hold the needles and where to put the yarn, I realized ...
Back to Blogging
I would love to get back to blogging! I can't blog from my phone (although it can do just about everything else!). I can bring up the web-site but I can't type anything in. :( So I am going to make an honest effort to turn on the laptop at least once a week & blog. It makes me feel good to ...
Quick & Easy Money Savers For a One Income Family
I get asked this and sometimes even ask myself: Family of 4 living on one income and you still stay home, how do you do it? First I want to give a big huge thank you to God, for placing the 4 of us together. Without Him we just couldn’t do it. He is a mighty, wonderful God who blesses us in so ...
Bathroom Upgrade: Shower Filter
Last night we installed a shower filter. It all started yesterday, Sunday, when went to Home Depot for a few pieces of lumber we forgot to order from the local lumber yard on Saturday (when they were open and we ordered the rest of the lumber we needed). I was browsing and decided to look for a ...
Activity Calendar
Last Thursday I unplugged the TV... literally.. I disconnected the DVD player, VCR, converter box, Wii, & UNPLUGGED the whole stinkin' thing from the wall. I even covered up the entertainment center with a huge piece of fabric. AND put the couch in front of it so it is NOT easy to get to ...
Inspiration
Have I ever told you what inspired me to start being better? It was a book I bought on a whim for a buck at Dollar Tree in the Mall of America. Yes, I went all the way to the MOA and still shopped at Dollar Tree... What can I say, I LOVE that place. So, this book is titled: 1,000 Ways to Be a ...
Kitchen Uprgade: Plastic Storage Containers.
My husband mentioned that the toy isles of Wal-Mart smell when you get close. That darn plastic smell. Have you noticed this? I haven't, just because I avoid those isles. I'm always shopping with children, and rather than saying "no" all the time, we just skip it all together. Well it got me ...
Kitchen Upgrade: Strainer
For Valentines day I bought myself my husband a new strainer. AND since I bought it early..... I've already showed him. I just can't keep a secret. We had a plastic blue one, which I have never totally liked. Mostly because when you put it in the sink and pour your pan of boiling hot water and ...
