I just read a great article by Wayne Greene, Editorial Writer for the Tulsa World.  While I usually don't endorse most editorials printed by the "Tulsa WorldLY" as we call them, this one had some rather interesting facts considering I'm doing the Pantry challenge.Greene writes: "One in five Oklahoma...

With the Pantry Challenge in full swing at my house, I'm trying to think ahead and be creative with new recipes.  I reread the Use What You Have posts from MoneySavingMom's blog, and found a link for a website that is going to be of great value to me in the coming weeks.Supercook is an exhaustive...

So, I spent the day making an inventory of my pantry, freezer, and fridge.  I'm not completely done, but I have a good enough idea to start a basic menu for the next week or so.  Since I made playing games this week a priority, I spent part of my inventory time playing Phase 10 with...

Redplum is currently offering a printable rebate form for Naked Juice, one of my favorite bottled juice smoothie brands.  For the form, follow this link.  The forms probably won't last long, so print one if you think you will use it.&nbs...

I've discovered that with a view like this from my living room, I can spend the whole day in the easy chair, thinking about nothing in particular and watching the birds feast on seed from the many feeders we keep stocked.  While I know resting is important, sometimes I enjoy it just a little...

My friend Rhonda over at If You Do Stuff shared a great idea for reusing Christmas cards.  If you're like me, you hate getting rid of your old cards because they are so beautiful.  This is a great way to reuse them, and be reminded of the sweet thoughts and welll wishes from your loved ones. ...

(photo from Country Living)I had several things on my Holiday To-Do's 2009.  I'm happy to say I finished nearly everything, and some things exceeded my expectations!Rest, relax and have fun! (done, but we haven't played enough games, so I'm making that a priority for this last week of break.)Make...

There are a few deals and reminders from JANE4girls that I thought were worth mentioning today, and you can check them out on her blog. One great deal is the $10/$25 ConAgra rebate available here, but be sure to check all her recent posts.  If you don't read Erin's blog regularly, you should...

(photo from the shabby chic cottage)I had a private struggle this morning.  Actually, it began a few days ago.  I had gathered several high value free~item coupons recently, but after using a few of them, I noticed that they said "one per customer:"  I was convicted not to...

There was a real lack of beauty in this home office space before.  I was utilizing what I had, and really had no inspiration to guide me.  Without vision the people perish, you know.  So when I saw what Nester had done with her new space, I knew I could do something similar. ...

new EtsyNameSpace.Mini(8160040, 'shop','thumbnail',2,5).renderIframe(); Well the good news is I got into 2 stores this week and I'm a featured artist at the y2y Gallery for their event on Dec 19th! Things are going great and I hven't even crated a look book yet. I have a portfolio with no photos in...

One of my goals on my Finishing List 2009 was to put my den and office area back in order.  Remember this saying:The beauty of the house is order...If order is the qualifier, my den hasn't been very beautiful lately!  In fact, I've been pretty ashamed of the clutter that accumulated , BECAUSE...

new EtsyNameSpace.Mini(8160040, 'shop','thumbnail',2,5).renderIframe(); Stacey has always been a HUGE part of my life. Even in times where we don't talk as often as we should, she's been there for me whenever I've needed her. When my family was about to disown me because I got pregnant out of wedlock (ridiculous) she was the only one to really stand up for me and the only reason I still have a relationship...
