After almost 13 years as a stay-at-home mom, I’ve started substitute teaching this year. I love the flexibility and the ability to help (at least a little bit) with finances. But, wow, getting back into a work schedule kind of messes with my “prep dinner during the day” plan. So I’ve been finding some quick…
My husband and I were invited to the Chamber of Commerce Gala. Unfortunately, this event is cocktail attire which I do not own any short formal dresses. However, I am a very frugal shopper and I was able to get a complete outfit for less than $20. I went to our local Community Thrift Store…

As a country girl I have always loved Mason Jars! I use them to decorate the inside of my home, to drink out of and to decorate my front door. A dear friend of mine recently bought their first home and I wanted to do something special for them. And these really do make for…
It has been a nasty winter so far and I this weekend when my husband requested beef stew it sounded like a great meal idea. This weekend, after years of trying to find a beef stew recipe that my family would eat, I finally hit upon that magic combination of ingredients and flavors. Not only…
I’m a pretty disciplined person, but I have children who are not! I’m trying to teach them to use their time wisely and productively. I’m training them how to make every moment count with our Time Timer. This post will focus on how we use our visual timer in our HOME. It is also great…
