I have to share a yummy frugal recipe that is wonderful for this time of year... Pumpkin Coffee Cake. I would also like to to share some trivia about me. I LOVE, love, love anything pumpkin. I love foods made with it, pumpkins are my favorite things to grow in the garden, and I love how cute pumpkins are. I like the shape so much I made a candle cast for my candles from a mini pumpkin. So, in honor of pumpkins here is my recipe to share.

"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
