    Arielle, your post has brought a smile to my face. Yes, God loves you so very much. May the day never come when we are not allowed to proclaim God's love publicly. I am a beloved daughter of the King of the universe. A greatful and thankful heart is the secret to true peace and happiness, in...

    You, my friend are not poor. You are rich! Because you have one of the greatest riches of all: contentment. It's the person who possesses wealth, but is always grasping for more who is TRULY POOR.

    No rant perceived. I'd love to be a hunter. Several barriers: need to take a hunter safety course, and a bit paranoid about being in the woods with a lot of other folks traipsing around with loaded guns.

    Every time I stick something in the freezer, or pull something out, I am sure to point out the benefit to hubby. I've only had the thing for a couple of weeks, and have already put quite a bit of food into it. slowly weeding stuff out of the fridge/freezer, and emptying the small chest freezer...

    Just bought an upright freezer. While it's an up front cost, the savings should more than pay for it over time. I will be able to have meals ready to pull out of the freezer on those nights when I'm simply too tired to cook. (every time hubby picks up a meal for us on the way home, that's $$$...

    Asthma and making laundry detergent do not go well together. Many smells that I grew up with, that give me that "home" warm fuzzy feeling send my lungs into a screeching hissy fit. The most noticeable ones being the smell of fresh lumber, and the faint smell of wood smoke. Driving down the...

    1 bar Fels Naptha soap grated very fine. Melt it in a pot of water. (1 qt is enough) Pour this into your 5 gal. bucket. Fill the bucket 1/2 way with very hot water. Add 1 cup Arm and Hammer Washing Soda and 1 cup Borax. Mix very well. Continue mixing while you fill the bucket the rest of...

    Time to make an other batch of laundry detergent. My first batch is running out. It lasted about 15 months. Not bad for less than $4.00.

    While I agree that bottles and pacifiers can make kids more prone to having orthodontic issues, breast feeding does not prevent the problem. Neither of my 2 kids ever touched a bottle or pacifier. One got through the whole tooth thing with minimal issues. The other had a whole mouth full of...

    Are you a type I or a type II??? He's an atypical type I. Total pancreatectomy. Insulin pump. So, he needs those carbs and fats to keep him on an even keel. Even something as simple as increased activity level (walking, riding lawn mower, etc.) will send him into a low BS if he doesn't...

    Wonderful idea. My hubby likes them fresh in a salad, but can't tolerate them cooked. However, he has noted that when I put mushrooms in a sauce or soup that the flavor is more robust. So, now... not complaining about their presence, simply pushes them aside, and occasionally hands his plate...

    I'm sure we'll think of something. Yep. We gotta clean out all the clutter that has already accumulated, then, we each get our own cave. Not kidding.

    Hubby and I are embarking on a new chapter of our lives. After sharing our home in one fashion or an other, (including raising grand kids) for 35 years, we are finally, officially, empty nesters. This will entail a whole new mind set in the kitchen. My goal: cut back, utilize everything...

    Lasagna is an other good meal. cook once, and you have 2 - 3 meals left. I make a chicken or turkey lasagna with a white sauce that is heavenly. (add broccoli or spinach to that one) I also like cottage cheese in it instead of the ricotta. gives it a fresher taste. Mix it up a bit, and use...

    When my kids were little, I'd pick up my Mom. We'd go shopping together. Good savings on gas, and she was a Godsend when dealing with 2 kids under 5. We'd hit the 3 major stores in our area, and I'd only buy the featured sale items from each store. Took a while to do, but the savings were...

    IMO, meat is highly over used in the American diet. Do we eat meat, yes. But... I serve much smaller portions of meat. An actual serving is considered to be the size of a pack of cards. And if that meat is used in a casserole, like chop suey, veggies and seasoning can make up the difference...

    Dandelion greens if they've not gone by. Soak for several hours, clean well, boil, dump the first boil water and then continue cooking. They are amazingly tasty. Cook your own beans from dry instead of buying canned. Mixing beans with dairy and grains gives a fully balanced protein. Do a...
