The Festival of Frugality is hosted by ~Dawn over at Frugal for Life this morning. She had it up promptly (I would expect no less!). She used “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words” as her theme, so all you see is 26 intriguing photographs. . . . to find out what the articles are… Keep Reading

I love veggies. Of course I also love cake and chocolate and cheese and fried things too. . . . Let’s face it, I just love food in all forms, but that is another post. But back to the veggies. I love veggies and I tend to go a little nuts when I go grocery… Keep Reading

Breakfast Snack Yogurt-a whole one (we only ate about 2/3 of a banana this morning) Small container of dry Frosted Shredded Wheat (left over from making our annual gingerbread house-they made GREAT snowy roof tiles!) Ice water (apparently my ice water does taste better than the water from the fountain. So there!) Lunch Vegetarian Vegetable… Keep Reading

OK Folks. As many of you may have noticed, my blog does not really contain advertising. The only reason I use the Amazon Associates program is to have an easy, ethical and legal way to post pictures and links to the books and items that I am either reading or am discussing. I don’t actually… Keep Reading

At least for a while. I told you the two main reasons aprons were frugal. And in my first post I told you that I was going to buy an apron instead of making one, and mentioned at the very end that: Of course, auxiliary to this entire discussion could be another post about how… Keep Reading

At the… Keep Reading

I even remembered to get my post on “Why Aprons are Frugal” in. Now usually to do my roundup I actually sit down and read… Keep Reading

Well, Princess seems to be feeling fine. The Amoxicillian (sp?) seems to have nipped the Strep in the bud, and she is running around acting like her self. We haven’t even had to dose her much with Ibuprofen. We did skip church yesterday just to be on the safe side. Usually she stays upstairs until… Keep Reading

Well, the title says it all 🙂 That would explain why she woke up screaming in the middle of the night eh? So far noone else has shown signs, but we’ll keep an eye on Buddy especially. As long as I keep her dosed on some Ibuprophen for the soreness you wouldn’t know anything was… Keep Reading

Well yesterday I talked about my fundraising idea of a Wine Tasting. Today I have a different idea. I’m sure your church has probably, like ours, put out a church cookbook. We did this in our church last year. Now folks usually enjoy a good church (or Kiwanis, or Junior League) cookbook. But unfortunately, frequently… Keep Reading
