Mom’s chicken noodle soup recipe

January 24, 2017

In general, I would say soup is not a meal. When you’re starving at the end of a long day soup just doesn’t cut it.

I’ve covered some of what I do in How I Save Money to be a… Read More Grocery shopping and feeding a family on a tight budget

Dinner idea list and menu

October 15, 2015
Menu planning for the non-cook - menu chart and dinner idea list printables

When there’s nothing planned for dinner, my husband can open the fridge and cobble some things together for a delicious meal. I, on the other hand, open the freezer and pray there’s a pizza. I’d say I’m a creative person, but it seems to be lost in the kitchen. It helps me to have a menu… Read More Dinner idea list and menu

When we moved into our house we had blank white wall after blank white wall. I decided wallpaper was the way to go. I specifically love murals rather than small repeated prints. They are like giant art, although much more affordable than large-scale pieces.

Once or twice a year we hit our local consignment store for kid clothes. My 8-year-old daughter had a growth spurt, so we're on the hunt for some new dresses and rompers. What can we find for $65?

Thrift stores are great too, but what I love about consignment stores is that you can sell your used clothes and use that money to buy clothes in the next size!
