Seeds

Oh Happy Day! Yes it's Frugal Friday........but even better than that today Superman and I celebrate 16 wonderfully fun, crazy, happy, at times rough, creative years of Marriage! I said to him last night that it seems like it should be a big one, like 20 or something.We plan on spending a great unplanned weekend together. We may even get to sleep in!!!





Back to Frugality! Did you know that Home Depot is selling Ferry Morse seed packets for 1/2 price this week. Out gardening season is just about over down here, but I picked up all my seeds for fall. I hope to try again and start from seed in the house during mid summer. I had a disappointing time of it last year and ended up having to buy a bunch of grower veg packs;(

You have you choice of organic, regular and even seed tapes. I'm trying the carrot tapes and such. I just hate thinning out all the those beautiful little plants!



Here's what I'm using to keep my seeds stored in. I'll place this in the fridge. I used to keep just zipper bags but, we had some seeds that somehow still got wet. I had this around and thought it would work for now. I keep small zipper bags of seeds inside.

Before you think I'm organized.... the thought came to me that I should be dating my baggies!


So that's my small, but frugal tip. Have a great weekend and get outside! Don't forget to head over to Life As Mom for more great tips!

Hey does anyone know how to make onions bulb that are supposed too??? Please share any info!

PS. I love you Superman. I'm so thankful the Lord had you pick out just for me!

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 ...
