Weekend Planning

Friday around here is the beginning of the work week in our household. Chevy Man works all weekend, graveyard shift. So not only does the work week shift so does our time of days.

So today I will be preparing for the weekend. So please excuse me if this post is a little scatter brained!

Yesterday we made a quick trip down to my grandmas house. She lives about 2 hours away in a small town on a farm. She is a huge part of my life and where I learned almost everything I know. I am so blessed to have her and my grandpa still with me!

She is the most generous person I know. She knows we have been struggling with money. She offered, er, made us take food home. While this is normal at Grandmas house, this was not a normal trip. She literally loaded my car full of food storage. You know those #10 coffee cans full of food?.. There are over 15 cans of wonderful things I can use right now. She sent home a monster turkey and a cooler full of beef. We are so blessed.

See all those glass bottles? She sent those too.
25 lbs of flour, local honey, and 2 more cans of food storage :)

Any who, with all this food I want to use it as frugally and conserving as possible. So I decided to join in with Dime Savin Diva and her challenge. $20 or less, I'm hoping for much much less.

Here is our freezer above the fridge and our little chest freezer. CHUCK full :)



This should make this a lot easier.
Here I moved the basket so you can see inside.. well as far as you can.

As far as Weekend Planning I decided to join in with My Happy House. Join in on the fun!

One Month to love book review

This book is divided into 30 short chapters that cover all different aspects of relationships in your life. Some people are more easy to love than others, and this definitely helps with the difficulties involved in some people. Some things in this book are very predictable. Such as focusing on the person that you actually with. In the age we live in, it is often easier or more convenient to 'play' on our phones or computers, instead of paying attention to the people that matter the most.  Each chapter ends with a challenge which includes questions or things to think about and consider. While much of this book is just reiterating what we all should be doing to maintain and straighten our relationships there are some surprising ideas. One that stood out to me is the chapter entitled. ' Practicing the art of risking awkwardness'.  Included in this chapter is the idea of swallowing your pride and facing the uncomfortable stage where something has happened and usually

BuildASign Review

For a few months I have been playing around with the idea of re-opening my etsy shop. But in doing so I would really want to make a go of it. This meaning, I need inventory, facebook page, business cards, etc. It just seemed like to daunting of a task. I have been working on my inventory for about a month. I still don't have all of the items made that I would like, but I am working on it. Facebook page is up, needs some updating and to be made puuurty but it is created. So on to business cards. I had been contacted by  BuildASign  to review a product of my choice. I jumped at the chance to order some business cards from this very reputable company. I not only wanted a good quality of paper for my business cards, but a customization template that was easy to use. They have it all! With their  Business Card Maker  I was able to create exactly what I was looking for and with very little effort of time. They don't just have business cards. They have a  banner maker , which woul
