A Dirt Cheap Cake [0;
.
I had to share a family tradition for birthday cake of my boys choices. I saw this a few years back and it has been a hit ever sense. It is a Mud Cake. I make a chocolate cake and add cocoa powder to the frosting to make it look like dirt and decorate it with gummy worms and oreo cookie crumbs to give it that extra dirt look. I even cut some worms and poke them in and out of the frosting to look like they are crawling in and out of it, lol. It is a hit !

Lets save our pennies, nickles, dimes, and dollars together !

"There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."
"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
