Monday Simple Woman

Oh look at my Baby Boy, a year sure flys !

What beautiful day, it's 50* out.
I took my boy's to the next town's playground.
They could careless about the cold, so we ran up&down the
play equipment, and shoveled pounds of tiny pebbles into toy truck
scoops. We also picked a Freecycle item that i was planning to purchase soon.
Free ! I don't mind it's used, because like I said, FREE !
Two sisters' from church have been wanting to babysit, and today was the perfect day as Mike is off on his Men's Retreat.
I'm typing at the local coffeehouse using thier free Wifi.
Plenty of time to concentrate on browsing the web, a beautiful day indeed .

Friday Funnies

So, being the spend thrift I am, I cut my 7 yrs. old's hair.
And, the back of his neck gets shaved with daddy's razor to eliminate peach fuzz.
I talk to him about how he's growing into a man, and one day he'll grow a mustache.
This makes him really glad, to think of shaving and growing into a man like Daddy.
Fast forward about a week, we are in the grocery store, and enter the razor isle.
Then upon seeing the razors, he shouts " Mom I think your growing a mustache, and need a razor" !

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 !
