I describe myself as a penny-pincher. But does that mean I'm frugal…or just cheap? I took a little self-test over at Moolanomy called Frugal or Cheap?, and I'm happy to say I scored smack dab in the middle of FRUGAL! Take the test if you'd like; it's quite revealing!
How a Spider Builds a Web…
…in our ceiling fan! Jaden noticed this little spider building a web between the lights of our living room ceiling fan. We studied spiders a couple years ago, and the kids have been fascinated with spiders ever since, so the kids have requested that I not kill this one (which they have affectionately named Sawyer, […]
3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days: Our Day 5 Meals
This morning I made 24 slices of French toast, so the kids ate a couple pieces each of that, as well as some grapes and bananas. (See, they do eat fruit…sometimes.) The leftover French toast is now in the fridge and will likely be used for some Yo-Yo meals over the next couple days. For […]
Our New Music Room!
It took having two pianos before I realized I could have a completly new music room. I've had two pianos in my house for over a month. I've been teaching lessons on one of those pianos for ten years, but I'd been looking for a different piano to teach on for quite a while. And […]
What We Ate Today: Day Four of 3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days
Day 4 or our 31 day challenge is a Sunday one our busiest days away from home! Today was church, so everyone was on their own for breakfast. Here's what we all ended up eating today: Jaden: Banana for breakfast, yogurt for lunch (he said he wasn't very hungry), hot dogs for dinner. Jerah & […]
Menu Plan Monday: Finding Time To Make Dinner
I've posted on Menu Plan Monday for a few weeks now, but I have yet to actually make all the meals I had planned for the week. And then Kate, Toni, and I started 3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days this last week, and I finally realized exactly why I always seem to postpone meals. […]
Hmm. What DID we eat today?
Every family has different eating habits or patterns. Listing our meals in this 31 day challenge can be complicated. Kate and Toni are both posting what their families' have eaten each day, but I've found it a little more difficult to do that. Our usual habit is to make food for ourselves when we're hungry […]
Cinnamon Rolls teach a lesson in cooking
This is a lesson in cooking with yeast that I will never forget. I had big plans for this morning. I was going to make a double batch of my favorite cinnamon rolls and freeze the second batch of dough for breakfast next week. But I didn't read the directions. I've made these cinnamon rolls […]
May's Shopping Trip #1
I usually shop once a week for groceries, so planning for a two-week trip was a little tricky for me. I actually ended up purchasing food for more than half the month, which is why it took over half my food budget. The only things I should have to purchase before my next shopping trip […]
Wet Burritos
Since I went grocery shopping for a few hours in the middle of the day and then taught lessons from 4-5:45 tonight, I didn't think I'd be able to make dinner and have it on the table to eat by six. So Jeff offered to cook dinner. And of course I accepted his offer. So I […]
