Heather just shared this on the Our Thrifty Ideas facebook page and I thought I’d share it for everyone. Homemade Kettle Corn from Frugal Homemaking Kettle Corn is one of Sean’s favorite snacks. Everytime we go to the mall, we end up by the popcorn store talking him out of buying a lifetime supply. Looks […]

I am in love with Egg McMuffins. If I am out and about before 10am, I usually can’t help myself, I stop and buy myself one. I’ve always wanted to make my own at home, but couldn’t figure out how to make the eggs just right. Just the other day a friend informed me it’s […]

Today I wanted to switch to V-day decor, but realized that I really don’t have much. So what was I to put on my new shelf?! I ran to my knick-knack closet and pulled out my Red and White!!! I’m slightly surprised at the amount of random decor, fabric, and ribbon I have in those […]

*First of all, I’m going to start by apologizing for the horrible photo. I made these at night, and left them for my hubby as a fun surprise, but by the time I realized it, he had eaten all but the one. So I had to hurry and snag it for a quick picture before […]

So, I decided to get ahead of the game and plan my V-teaching handout for next month. At least I know I’ll be semi creative for one month out of the year! Oh, and it gave me an excuse to make a treat in the middle of the day as a “test” for next month!! […]

When I had The Little Man I had no idea how much a baby costs. Since he was a surprise we had not done any of the financial research on what all we would be paying for. So when we found out I was pregnant, we really started to evaluate our finances and make plans […]
