Pardon the Dust
Think all the bugs are worked out so WELCOME! Added a bit of inspiration to the page, and feeling bright and spruced up. Now have tons to update.
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.
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.
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.
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!

Oh Sweet Gardening ♫ ☼ ♪
Come October the ground is good here [zone 10] for gardening. 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.
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! WONDERFUL! 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.
So far gardening supply cost:
Bone Meal $6
Blood Meal $6
Liquid Kelp $10
Fish emusion [still had some leftover it last forever, but smells horrid]
Seeds [organic heirloom]from ebay $12
Gutter & supplies $10
Buckets FREE
Pallets FREE
Soil FREE [going to get manure from a farm nearby]
Total cost so far [still need a bit more seeds] $34
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.
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.

Any ideas or input on seeds nowadays. I think it is worth it to buy an heirloom seed. With all the hoekie business with that "M" company we want seeds to last more than one cycle. Are you planning a garden this year? Any ideas on a small garden how to use all space in the most creative ways?

New Bread Recipes?
We have been making the same bread for probably a year now[maybe longer]. 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.
On that note, do you know any great loaf bread recipes?
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.
Can't wait to hear about your great recipes, and how they fair in your home. Bless you and yours.

Who says School Shopping has to BREAK the bank?
With my admiration towards clothes this year I decided to leave my debit card at home, and only take an alotted amount of cash. So with a hundred in my pocket an ad, and store coupons I went with high hopes of saving BiG!
Down south we have outlet stores here and there so JCPenny's outlet had a great deal on shoes, etc. Since this year one will be in uniform I couldn't buy her things here. Since we are on a lean budget I decided that they only needed a couple new pieces to rotate a bit with the new stuff.
First thing is my basket was full. I knew I couldn't afford all of it, but I needed to evaluate what i was going to buy.
At JcPenny's we bought:
5 bras @ 2.99e=14.95
4 bras @ 3.99=15.96
1 pair of Adidas sneakers 34.99-15.00=19.99
2 pair of basketball shorts @5.99+ 7.99=13.98
1 tee shirt 2.99
25% one -2.00
total with tax $68 and change
Off to walmart hubby needed sunglass they broke today *sigh* 13.00
Dinner & ice cream $10
3 drinks & snack $4.05
So out of my hundred I had left $3!!!
I wanted to buy a couple of things since my niece was here, but I couldn't. So much that I WANTED but didn't NEED.
Still as yet I need to buy another pair of shoes for my oldest that wears a size 15 men's SOOOO hard to find! Other than little school supplies, and the uniforms we are moving in the right direction!
Have a BLESSED week!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
Blessings from our house to yours this holiday! Simple this holiday as it is the first year we haven't bought a mass array of fireworks. Actually it is really an independence in itself not to spend that much money to blow up!
This cute craft found in my email from AllYou magazine. Used scrapbook paper, tape, an old Christmas wreath backing, recycled a Cheerio box, a piece of wire, small piece of blue ribbon, and some red & white curling ribbon.
How are you spending your holiday? Do you have any crafts, desserts you care to share?

Long time no blog, what a week. My computer got surged, and with DH out of work it took longer than anticipated to get this computer up and running. Jesus was with me that day I tell you!

Holy Pirates!
Hubby just called to tell me he was working on a special account today so he couldn't call me like usual. So he tells me that it was someone famous. Obviously I can't think of anyone in particular. He gave me a small clue...A PIRATE. So of course I know then. Since Mister Johnny Depp used to live in Miramar, FL!!! Since I am googly for him. he never ages!! Plus another clue he was in the Bahamas atm which I knew he had a house in the Bahamas [solar powered which seriously I thought of buying out there because it was 150k for a totally solar operational house.] Needless to saw I am a bit starstruck atm Johnny Depp [plus a couple years back I kid you not there was an amazing good look a like for Halloween....or was it really Johnny Depp?!!?!? I will never know.] Okay back to regular ungirly swoontime.
PS If it was really Johnny Depp at my door last Halloween we apologize about all the yelling aka swooning from the girls in the house.
