I'm thinking out loud tonight and wondering what it would be like to go the summer without TV. I mean like actually unplug the TV for the summer & buy a weather radio. Woah! Did I really just say that? Well yes, faithful blog follower, I actually did! You're thinking I'm crazy, & I ...
Monday Madness: Donation Station
Monday Madness As if Mondays aren’t busy enough, let me add one more thing for you to consider adding to your “to-do” list. If you haven’t already, set up a donation station. For us it’s a table in the basement. Whenever the kids are getting dressed and a shirt doesn’t fit, or a pair of shoes ...
Recipes: Organizing
I mostly just pull my recipes from the internet these days. Somtimes it's something great I see on pinterest other times it's something I'm craving (or saw on TV & had to have) so I Google how to make it and use which ever recipe seems easiest. There are times that I taste what I've made and I ...
Tip Tuesday- Laundry Soap
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 ...

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 ...
