I should make a point to post everyday since I check my email, etc. For the most part once school starts I am in zombie mode hahaha. With all the band practices, etc it seems like hellooo where did the day go?<br />
<br />
Haven't worked outside of the house in 12 yrs and looking for a job is a weird scary thing for me. Nevertheless to jump into the pool now after so long with this economy I will admit it is TOUGH!<br />
<br />

Added a bit of inspiration to the page, and feeling bright and spruced up. Now have tons to update.<br />
<br />
Kiddos started school so it has in fact been a zoo. We have been lucky enough to be close to the school to walk, but these past few weeks have been challenging as we are car riders. Now it is busy you working Mom's I give you TONS of credit. I honestly forget how I once did it. Now with one at band practice 3-4 times a week, and this car pooling thing, housework, cooking, etc it is like woahhhh. Regardless always find time to coupon lol.<br />
<br />
On a positive note cleaned out my coupons since we didn't have any last week. Now I just need to make goals to get myself as organized as my coupons are lol. Had an extra expenditure this month as our washer let go. We went back and forth to buy the part or to buy a new one. Let me say after looking a bit for new ones [they are $600-$1200 OUCH] I wondered if I paid this much a long time ago for this front end loader. Yikes. So after a week with no washing machine, the part was $200 for a life time warranty. So we opted for the part, and we learned quite a bit fixing it truly we did. I implore you if you have a failing washer, dryer go online do some research there are so many people that like to help. God bless them!!! After we did our research there are only less than 10 things that you can actually replace [serious issues] for a washer. So thank the good lord we saved a bit on that number.<br />
<br />
On another note, my bread making experiment was a bust. I am not sure if it is the humidity, but that lovely recipe Alison gave me didn't raise right. Going to give it another try, and try some other recipes as well there is something about Egg Bread that I adore lol.<br />
<br />
Since we had that extra expenditure I didn't save as much as I wanted this month, but hey could be worse. So grateful each and everyday. Bless you and yours!<br />

Since we don't have acreage we tend to have a good size garden, but not monstrous. Honestly I like change, and last year we had a raised bed with cement blocks we found [someone was throwing them away!!!] So this year after much research [I'm such a dork.] we came to the conclusion [DH & I] to have a bucket garden. For the herbs a garden from a rain gutter, and the rest in the previous raised beds.<br />
<br />
Since I am a cheapo I didn't want to go out to Home Depot/Lowe's, etc and purchase those buckets. So today was bulk pickup in our area. Since I didn't want to get to wacko and waste $20 in fuel we stayed pretty close to home. Low and behold by the grace of God we found 3 paint buckets [5 gal], and 2 other buckets of random size. I wanted to start with 10 buckets of a garden, but for now this is certainly going to do! <b><i>WONDERFUL</i></b>! On top of the previous ideas I didn't want to buy those tomato cages. We usually stake them with random shimmies of wood. Again I think I have adult ADD seriously so my mind was going and found some pallets in the bulk pickup. Let me again proclaim...I am not proud I will pick threw bulk pickup.<br />
<br />
So far gardening supply cost:<br />
<br />
Bone Meal $6<br />
Blood Meal $6<br />
Liquid Kelp $10<br />
Fish emusion [still had some leftover it last forever, but smells horrid]<br />
Seeds [organic heirloom]from ebay $12<br />
Gutter & supplies $10<br />
Buckets <i>FREE</i><br />
Pallets <i>FREE </i><br />
Soil <i>FREE </i>[going to get manure from a farm nearby]<br />
<br />
Total cost so far [still need a bit more seeds] $34<br />
Probably will be over $50 when we are done, but liquid kelp last forever very big expense, but soooo worth it for organic gardening in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Seeds are my own expense. We have heirloom from last year that we will plant, but I was soooo dying for Cherokee Purple Tomatoes. Gorgeous trust me.<br />

Nice Domino sugar coupon on <a href="http://smartsource.com/smartsource/index.jsp?Link=5S2ZUA6PWPEPO" target="_blank">SmartSource</a>. .75 off 2 [2lb or more]. Nice deal for brown sugar, or confection sugar, or some inexpensive sugar if you find it on sale. If you have doubles [sadly we don't] this would be lovely!<br />
<br />
Also I entered zip 21675. Have a blessed day enjoy it with those you love. ♥<br />

The other day I pulled out the bread and it literally was falling apart. Not sure why there was so much moisture in the bread, but it toasted nicely so there was no waste.<br />
<br />
<b><u>On that note, do you know any great loaf bread recipes?</u></b><br />
<br />

<br />
I have been searching high and low for one that is frugal, but taste/freezes well. Most recipes I have found call for a STICK OF BUTTER a loaf. ...YIKES! Since fats are an important part of bread making I don't mind adding butter, but a stick of butter is just not budget conscious of me.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to hear about your great recipes, and how they fair in your home. <b>Bless you and yours.</b><br />

I haven't been to Target in some time, but they changed things a bit, and check the coupons before your order. That was fine with me, but the prices on the receipt didn't reflect the sign tags that I saw in the store. It was almost $20 alone in things with different prices or just errors on the cashiers part. [I asked her to check a price for me because a sign said .85, but it rang up 2.79! So she never backed out that part of the order...oopsie!]<br />
