I'm so bad at actually making the things I pin on Pinterest. I have actually made a few recently.Laundry stain remover. Works great, even on cloth diapers that get stubborn baby poop stains. I did discover that any dish detergent will work, not just blue Dawn. I discovered this mainly because I had Palmolive in the house not Dawn. Want to try with the Dawn at some point to see if there is a difference.Use a loosely bunched piece of aluminum foil instead of a dryer sheet. I use this when I have … [Read more...]
Grocery Store Savings…7.11.12
We had to go into the "big city" on Friday for an appointment. Since we were going to be in town anyway, I decided to head over to Shaw's. We only have a Hannaford, Wal-mart, and Family Dollar here. Shaw's is generally more expensive but they do have amazing sales. Plus, they are the only place I know of in the state that doubles coupons.Here is what I bought and the price break-down. I apologize for the lack of picture but I needed to get Abby to bed the minute we got home.2 liter of store … [Read more...]
Debt Payoff Update
It has been over month since I made this post about reducing our debt. A lot has happened since then. And not in a good way.Until Matt got paid today, we had a total of $8.66 to our names. That's it. No more. Well, some change in a jar but less than $5 worth. Still don't have much more than that.Plus, it gets worse. This month, the van needs registered, Matt really needs new work boots and this is the one month out of the year they are 20% off, and the laptop is still being limped along. Not to … [Read more...]

Tomorrow is a big event for us. Tomorrow Abby stays the night away from us for the first time.Friends are having a camp-out birthday party. There will be lots of friends from the old college crowd. And lots of loud singing as a friend is bringing his karaoke machine supposedly. Not that we ever needed one before. lol.I could put Abby to bed in the tent but we decided to have some friends who aren't part of this crowd watch her instead. She will sleep better where it's quiet. Plus, she will only … [Read more...]
Random Things of the Week
I sometimes feel like my life revolves around the baby. Which it kinda does right now. But I really don't want my blog to as well. I know I used to stop reading blogs when that happened. So I'm taking an idea from the girl over at Stop and Smell the Chocolates to help get me out of my baby rut. What I'm thinking: That I have laundry and dishes that I should be doing. What I'm reading: Stress Point on my Kindle for a review and need to start My Stubborn Heart in print form, also for … [Read more...]
Day 2 of My Heat-Induced Captivity
I hate heat. Truly. I would much rather be cold than hot. My theory is that you can always put more layers on. You can only take so many off. We are on Day 2 of 3 of icky, muggy heat. It is 3pm right now and the outside thermometer says it is 98 degrees outside. It is usually only off by a couple degrees so I bet it is closer to 95. But that is still quite hot. I have the 3 ceiling fans going, one window fan on exhaust in Abby's room, an A/C unit in the living room, and one in our bedroom … [Read more...]
