Last night we had pork chops and i made too many. Tonight no one wanted them. So I sliced up some potatoes and an onion and fried them, then I cut the pork chops up into bite sized pieces off the bone and threw them in the skillet with...

I have 2 school agers. School here starts end of July and it will still be hot. I go through their clothes once summer break starts to sort out summer play clothes and non-stained, nice school clothes. During the summer they are only...

Yes, but I am the only one who fills them. About 5 years ago I read on Flylady to pick out things you wouldn't normally buy yourself but that you love (like a semi expensive chocolate!) and put them in your stocking. Usually by the time...

Yes, I really don't want to celebrate Christmas this year because I am a new single parent and I am horribly depressed and guilt ridden for my kids. But I am pushing through that because of my kids. I can cry in my shower after they go...

I continuously stockpile too. Whenever I see a good deal on something we regularly use I will buy several. I keep my eyes open for things like peanut butter, oatmeal packets (here in Hawaii they are $4 for a box of 10!), canned veges and...
