Fugal Friday- Teaching the Next Generation

It's finally here! Can't you just see the excitement? Truly, she has been chomping at the bit to get started!!!! Chickadee #1 must wait a couple more days..........

I'm so excited to have a fun, up to date program to help instill stewardship and personal finance in our girls. Thank you Dave Ramsey, it looks wonderful! We will be holding Financial Peace for teens in our home starting next week. I can't wait!

Chicakdee #1 will be guest blogging here on Tuesday and I'm sure she'll have wonderful updates on the class. Stay tuned!



My other frugal idea was born out of necessity, okay maybe it's not a need...... But I really wanted to have our flag back and couldn't afford a new pole.



So my Bocia had bamboo growing in her backyard! It's held up for a month and gives it a carefree, let's go fishing this summer kind of look. Bamboo, zip ties (love um!) and twist ties (what I did to see if it would look good before I used a precious zippy).


What's your favorite idea born out of necessity or boredom? I'd love to hear from ya!

Don't forget to stop by Biblicalwomanhood for more great ideas! She's over in friends and interest!

Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. I will be checking back to see what you think of Dave Ramsey's materials for kids. We have thought about using them many times.

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...

Every Last Drop!

So you love Essential Oils and you are using them on all the things; now, what do you do with all the cute little amber bottles? With the Young Living bottles you can an easily peel off the labels and refill with  your own personal blends, pop a spray top on for a spray blend, use as bud vase for a single flower or fill with Thieves Cleaner and gift to a friend who has never heard of the power of Thieves!  When my bottles are almost empty and I cannot get a drop out (even with the reducer cap off), I like to place a bunch up in the bottom of a big jar of Epsom salts. I let them sit for a week or so but there are times when I'll start using the salts right away. I just refill the salts on the top while the bottom of the container marinates. The fragrance is heavenly. You could get really fancy and save all your "fall" scents together, all your citrus scents etc. I am not that organized... I wish I was at times. *One thing I've learned is that it may not be a ...

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...
