I was just over at OrgJunkie linking up my Monday meal plan. (Yes I know it is now Wednesday- I’ll probably stay 2 days behind for another week too) Anyway I happened to notice a picture of a great mudroom organizer she has up. I don’t want to post a sneak peek picture because I really think you’ll want to see the entire transformation from start to finish. I am truly amazed once again at how thrifty people can {Read More}

Little One is a much healthier eater than her big brother. Actually she’s just plain healthier than Turkey. At 16 pounds, she’s 2 pounds heavier than he was at this point. Doesn’t sound too bad, but considering that he didn’t hit 16 pounds until he was 1 yr old, well, it’s safe to say that she’s much healthier than him. Here she was eating dinner last night. I couldn’t feed her quick enough, so she decided to take things into {Read More}

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving {Read More}

OK, so I completely blew my wishful thinking budget of $20 this week. I hadn’t thought about the grocery store deals I had planned to get, or that I needed to pick up some chicken for dinners this past week. I also had forgotten to include some gifts from the previous week so I’ve now nearly spent my household budget for the entire month – with 2 weeks left to go! I’m just going to have to remember that I {Read More}
