Laura What Will You Do with Your Tax Rebate? - Blog Entry01 Feb 2008 12:06 PM We will either pay bills down, buy home school curriculum or something else along those lines. I guess we ae pretty boring people. lol Laura Surviving a Low Thermostat (2) - Blog Entry01 Feb 2008 11:51 AM Mary Ann, I didn't realize that about your insurance possibly going up w/ a wood burning stove. I had better look into that. Down comfortors would be great but we are all allergic to down. :( The past few days I have lowered the thermostat down to 60 when I leave the house. lol Progress!! ;o) Laura Surviving a Low Thermostat (2) - Blog Entry30 Jan 2008 10:05 AM I really want to keep my thermostat low at night and during the day, it's just way to cold in our home. We do the slippers, blankets, etc and by the end of the day I am weary from being so cold. Do you have any other suggestions? We are seriously considering using some of our tax money and putting in a wood burning stove. The only thing for us to consider is that we don't plan on being here for more than 2 years. I wonder if it is worth it? Laura Peek into My Morning - Blog Entry28 Jan 2008 01:58 PM My morning usually begins between 5:30 and 6:00. I like to grab my coffee and Bible. Mornings are the only time it is quiet around here. I usually like to spend an hour or so quietly reading my Bible. By 7:00 I get all my older children up so that they can get their school day started. While they are eating I shower and then usually come down to the kitchen grab something out of the freezer for dinner, make a loaf of bread, start laundry, check email, and whatever else needs to be done before we get start with homeschooling. By 8:30 or so we all sit down to do a devotion and pray together. Our morning usually ends by 11:30 w/ hungry kids ready for a noon lunch. lol Pretty boring. ;o) Laura How to Buy a Crockpot - Blog Entry28 Jan 2008 09:53 AM Mary Ann, I like to put whole chickens in the crock-pot on Sunday's, then the next day I will make a big pot of soup w/ the bones. I also put in pork tenderloins, roast beefs, and pork chops. Honestly, I don't have a favorite recipe b/c most crock pot recipes call for Cream of ________ soup. How about you? Laura How to Buy a Crockpot - Blog Entry26 Jan 2008 11:08 AM I adore my crock pot. I use it at least once a week. They are great for everything. When ours died a few months ago I checked online reviews for different crock pots. I found the "stripped" down models got the best reviews. Laura Frugal Winter Fun! - Blog Entry20 Jan 2008 11:12 AM Our daughter loves to color, play w/ all the "new" toys and look at books. lol Me and the other children enjoy hanging out w/ books piled around us. For me its just getting out of the house and looking at different "walls." Laura Frugal Winter Fun! - Blog Entry18 Jan 2008 01:31 PM We are big fans of the library. Its fun to escape there when the weather is miserable and there isn't much going on. Laura 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |
