Welcome to my Home Wednesday – Preserving food
It’s that time of year when gardeners start preserving food by freezing and canning food. Since I am an amateur gardener now, I am also an amateur preserver too!
Lucky for me, my mom is a little more knowledgeable about the subject than I am. She has talked me through tips for freezing zucchini, [...]
Raw almond milk recipe

I have been making my own, raw almond milk because I don’t like that there are sweeteners in the store bought kind. The only thing I had to buy for extra “equipment” was a milk bag (mine is actually a produce bag that has fine enough holes to use as a milk bag). You [...]
Cloth diapers. Buy used, trade, sell, reuse…
I have written a lot about cloth diapers – where to start, how to wash and strip the diapers, how to store them, and how much you can save by using them.
But, I have heard “They are expensive to buy!” It’s true, they are on the expensive side but imagine how many times you will [...]
Cloth diapers. How much will I save using cloth diapers?
I have done a cloth diapering series with posts that cover what kinds of cloth to use, how to wash and strip the diapers, and how to keep them organized when storing them. Now it’s onto a big reason to use them – to save money and save the landfill from TONS and TONS of [...]

Cloth diapers. Where do I start?
Cloth diapering is something that I love to do, and it is easy to me now. However, when I first started researching it was SO overwhelming to me. I have been asked quite a few times to share about how I cloth diaper, what to buy, how to wash them so I thought I would [...]
How do I get skunk smell off of my dog?

I hope you are never in this prediciment, but if you are here’s a frugal solution to save [...]
Frugal Friday – Exercise on a Budget
For the past 25 days, I have taken part in hundreds. What is that you ask? Hundreds is 100 pushups and 100 situps throughout the day for 100 days. At first, I started out doing sets of 10 scattered throughout the day. Now I do sets of 25 back to back. I am getting stronger, [...]
Frugal Friday – Think about purchases!
We live in a culture where the media is advertising at us all the time, where we have access to money any time of the day, or if we don’t have the money we have a credit card we can use. This leads to lots of wants and lots of thoughtless purchases.
Don’t get me wrong, [...]
