WFMW: Making Cereral Last Longer

I’m sure in some houses, cereal is gone through like water. Not so much in our house. We like cereal, but we were always apt to end up throwing away partially eaten boxes of cereal because they were stale. One day when I was at Target, I saw some cereal keeper containers (or, really for [...]

Menu Plan Monday: May 28th Edition

Okay…so a lot of these are going to look a lot like last week (especially all the use of ham, since we didn’t end up making our ham this past week). We ended up changing things around a bit, and got food from out on one evening that we had not planned (we normally plan [...]

Last week’s Tasty Tuesday contest winner was Heather at With a Little Luck.

LOL) I’m not sure of exactly what this week’s prize will [...]

Fabulous Finds Friday: The Etsy Edition

I enjoy Etsy.com, and I know I have mentioned it many times before. I love to go look, even when I don’t have money to spend. I go for inspiration, I go just to browse, and I also go to buy! I have described it before as being a craft fair that you can go [...]

WFMW: The Pantry Edition

One thing that worked wonders for organizing my pantry better was to install a plastic shoe organizer onto the inside door of our pantry. Now, I know this won’t work in some pantries, but because ours has a regular door just like any of the other doors in our house, it works wonderfully for us. [...]

The Dangers of Being Outdoors with the Pollen

I have allergies. I have for about as long as I could remember. At any time of the year, it would seem my sinuses can bother me. My Mom and I have a standing joke when I realized many years ago that it didn’t matter when I said to her that my sinuses hurt, she [...]
