Getting to know me- Easter Edition







A few days ago I came across this blog and love it! She holds a linky party each sunday all about getting to know each other. I think this is a fantastic idea! So I will be participating each week. I hope you will join in so I can get to know more about you too.

Also, I wanted to add that this week the world has lost an amazing lady. I met this wonderful lady on one of the forums I am apart of. She had cancer and was very ill, but had the best attitude of any person I've ever met. She will be greatly missed

1. Showers or baths? Definitely showers, I can’t even remember the last time I took a bath. I very much dislike the “raisin” effect you get when taking a bath!

2. Do you have any crazy urges? OHH yes! All of a sudden I will want to craft something right now. Or I haven’t like tuna in years and I will want it, and it can’t wait.. I want it NOW! lol

3. What is one thing we don't know about you? I’m very shy. I don’t usually talk to people. I keep to myself mostly.

4. Exercise..love it or hate it? Hate to start but when I get into it I love it.

5. Do you think you have a good body image? No not really :D we’ll leave it at that!

6. Flour or corn tortillas? Flour, all the way. When I was younger my dad brought home fish tacos from a local Mexican restaurant and they were on corn tortillas.. It ruined both for me.

7. How do you celebrate Easter? Spend the day with my mom and sister. This year we are having roast and potatoes and I made the bunny cake, I’ll post a pic in a bit ☺

8. Hard boiled Easter eggs or plastic eggs? Hard boiled, I love them. Can’t make them, but love them haha!

UPDATED: Isn't he just so fun! He would be much cuter if I could actually decorate a cake. I did not receive that gene lol


I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter! Make sure you tell everyone you love that you love them. Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

Why are you frugal?

Frugality has always been in my life. I spent my summers as a child with my grandma in a very very small town about 150 miles away from where I lived the rest of the year. My grandpa is/was a farmer, had cows, and a diesel mechanic. My grandma was a farmer’s wife. I learned how to garden, sew, cook, move pipe, change oil, and learned how to drive on a tractor. At home during the school year none of these tasks were put to use. We lived in a suburb of a city with nearly 50,000 people, we didn’t have a garden, we had a dishwasher, etc. So at the end of the school year I was ecstatic to get to go my grandma’s house! I loved being there; I loved the fruits of my labor there. I felt as though I had a purpose. Fast forward to 5 years ago. I graduated high school, moved to Phoenix, got into a heap of money issues, wanted everything in sight, forgot everything my grandma ever taught me and then I moved back to Idaho. About a year and a half later I came to the realization that something had to...

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Really? Meatloaf? Actually this is really good! We usually have it a few times a month. Super easy too! 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef {I use 1 pound} 3/4 cup milk 2 eggs {I only use 1 egg} 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs {I usually use pretzels, I never seem to buy saltines} Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. 2. Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the sugar. 3. In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf. Place on top of the ketchup. 4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear. {source} What's for Dinner tonight in your house?

Homemade Laundry Soap

Give it a Whirl Thursday will be a weekly column documenting triumphs and failures of frugal projects (yes, I realize this is blurry, I apologize.) Ingredients: 1 bar of soap (I used Zote) $1 1/2 c borax $.18 1/2 c washing soda $.21 2 gallons water Grate your soap. I used Zote and was very excited I found it at Family dollar!! Add 6 cups hot water into your pan, slowly add in your soap shavings. Once all the soap is melted add the borax and the washing soda. Stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and pour into large bucket. Add 4 cups hot water, stir until blended. add 1 gallon + 6 cups cold water to your bucket and mix well. Set aside and let sit for 24 hours. Its chunky and gel like. This is normal. Use 1/2 cup per load. Total for batch of soap $1.39 Which made 2 gallons of soap. 2 gallons=32 cups or 64 loads $.02 per load! Linking to
