Thrifty Thursday

Thrifty Thursday

I've started using white vinegar in my washer's
rinse cycle. And, I'm impressed with the results!
It's easy to splash some in and it seem to keep my clothes fresh.
Try it you'll like it !

Wordless Wendsday

Gettin' ready for fall.......and baby business .

Gettin' ready for fall.......and baby business .
Autumn reminds me winter is coming, then I go into a nesting mode, and by up the grocery store, after that I start cooking & baking, which leads to winter fat.
I'm lamenting summer leaving me with a cold slap in the face, this morning 54* and windy.......maybe I'll start tanning under a light bulb.
Winter blues are here to stay :(
My kids could care less, both are at an age and stage in life where everything is fun and their little minds are growing in leaps&bounds. In this picture with my boys is Skylar. She has a play date here once a week, as her Mommy works at our church.

Wish me best as I tackle my roots !

Frugal Friday

I cannot believe i am going to admit to this, but it works !
Recycling your ziploc baggies ? I do after a little soap & hot water, they're reusable in my opinion. Although drying them can be a trick, b/c they stick to themselves.....my solution is to hang dry them, on my mini lamps that I bought at K-mart 8 yrs. ago.
Hanging on the top of the shade opens the bag to air, and if the baggies is strong plastic, I'll turn the lamp on for the heat of the bulb acts as a drying agent.
Now, caution I have melted some baggies, not paying enough attention. So, take my advice with some common sense !

My 3 Guys

I love the guys God has hand-picked for me !

Noah's 7yearold Bike

This is God's provision to our family, let me tell ya !

We are gearing up for vacation and are planning to bike. My tires on my 15 yr. Gary Fisher need replacement. $50 ! And, Hubby did the work of installing them. That is way too much money, IMHO.
Noah's bike was a bit too small for him, and need wheel barrings ( whatevertheyare).
We priced bikes, and it was out of the question to buy on for Noah.
So, he and I huddled on the couch and prayed, if the Lord would give him a bike ?
I posted on my F/B status asking friends for a hand-me-down. No go.
I listed on Freecycle, and by the next afternoon.....Noah and Daddy were pumping air, and washing his new bike. It's cool b/c it has hand breaks, gears, and a front shock, he is so pleased with it, and God.
Now, should I let him ride around the block on his own ? Yesterday, I followed him in my car to see if he could do, and he can.........?
