Frugal Friday

Well it's Frugal Friday again! Yippee!
I saved at CVS!!! I paid $1.98 cash, used $4 off of $20 store coupon and $16 in ECB's. I got $22 in merchandise and $16 in ECB's in return! My Husband stood by amazed and bewildered (and I can't remember when the last time was that I saw him that way!).

I ran out of eggs this week and started a recipe for alphabet cookies with my little ones when I realized my dilemma. I remembered someone else's post last week for making hair gel with flax seed. Well I figured that would be a great egg substitute!
I used: 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
2 to 3 tablespoons warm water
Mix well, add as you would an egg! They turned out great! One of my older girls and I tried it in the cupcakes we made for Bright Lights! They are great too! I just want them out of our home quickly!

Praise the Lord. He never ceases to come to aid. Even in the smallest of needs!

Funny you mentioned the egg substitute! I was on a website just yesterday that had several listed (for making your own teething biscuits for babies under the age of one with recipes that call for eggs). ANYWAY, here's the link in case you ever run out again!

I'm glad that they turned out well!

Oops - sorry. Not sure if that went through. I broke the url down into three lines instead, just delete the spaces and you're there!

Best,

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
