     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

    Sounds lovely! We have to get our bathtub fixed first, but then we will enjoy those little tightwad luxuries.

    Makes me remember to ask you how your bathroom is coming along. I seem to remember you were working on that as a goal. :-)
    I am sure these recipes would be great to try! Thanks.

    Jenn,

    Funny you should ask. [0= Yesterday I feel God lead me to my bathroom sink. There is a second chance store in town that I stopped at before coming home from town and I found my bathroom sink !!! It is beautiful and can't wait to put it in. I will take pics of it when hubby gets home with it. It is a pedestal sink. I got a good deal on it and this is motivating me to get that (storage room) ohh I mean bathroom cleaned out so we can finish the bathroom ! I am determined .....again to get it done.

    So, I think that answers your question. lttn

    Mary, thanks for posting these recipes. I finally got a chance to check them out. I will likely use a few of them in the future. I normally take baths these days because with working, I don't want to have to take the time to dry down the shower walls if I shower.
