My Frugal Life: Of Chickens, Dogs, and Fences
Loved that story! I would love to have a chicken as a pet but dont think my neighbors would appreciate that!
Would you Buy a French Door Refrigerator?
I just replaced my refrigerator that had the freezer on the bottom and the regular door on the top. I was so tired of bending over trying to see the items in the back and bottom! I replaced it with a side by side where I can see what I have much better.
Reviews of Scentsy Products?
I love Scentsy products and highly recommend them! Their containers are lovely and their scents really do smell nice. I have one of the nightlights and use it every night in my bathroom. If you go to their website, you can look at discontinued containers to...
Crafts Using Plastic Coffee Creamer Bottles?
I have made many banks from those bottles, using mod podge and thin pretty paper. Kids can tear the paper into small pieces and glue them on with mod podge. When it is all covered, put a final coat over all. Let dry an hour or so between coats and then embellish...
Warning: Pine Cones in the Fireplace
Interesting! I soaked mine in vinegar/water then dried them in a 200* oven for 2 hours. I wonder if this process helps to get rid of that residue. I used soy wax and dried twigs and stood the pine cone in it until it set. I gave them away as gifts so I hope...

Deter Ants with Fabric Softener Sheets
I love this tip and have taken it a step further! I use these dryer sheets everywhere to help deter other bugs and the smell is a bonus. Most bugs dont seem to like these so I drop them down between the floor of my screen porch and in my grandchildrens toy...
Product Review: NutriSystem
I did pretty much the same thing only with Jenny Craig. I started out for a month or so but found I didnt like all the food and it is so expensive. Nowadays with the internet and all you can get great recipes online and find ways to cut calories and fat. Just...
Year Round Wreath Ideas?
I have a wreath on my door that I have used for a couple of years now. I started with a grapevine wreath and hot-glued different greenery. None of the pieces I used are actual flowers. They are all herbal type leaves or vines that I purchased at Michaels (always...
Unusual Clock Designs Using Household Items?
I was thinking that you could use the idea from another reader and try old game pieces. If you dont have these, try thrift stores, resale shops, etc. to find pieces that will work. Scrabble tiles, monopoly pieces, checkers, dice. Hope this gives you some ideas...
Use Baby Wipes On Floor Spills
I also use baby wipes for a number of uses! I have four cats and 1 dog so hardly a day goes by that one of them doesnt throw up. I keep the wipe containers in most rooms for easy clean up. Ive used them on newer carpeting with no problems. I also use them just...
