It's been a crazy month at our house as we've had to make the transition of helping move my mom into a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients and all that entails. Needless to say my cooking, menu planning and budgeting has been turned upside down but I'm finally feeling some time and space to breathe and think once again so it's back into revamping things a bit. I'm needing some time to start spring cleaning as the dust has coated everything and our carpets need shampooed desperately. Slowly but surely!<br /><br />Let me ask you a question since you mentioned painting the master bath. Do you all have papered wallboard in your home? Have you been able to paint over that successfully? Just curious!Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251936768042830801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-72826665896663513242014-03-01T17:40:30.194-05:002014-03-01T17:40:30.194-05:00That's so neat that you can document so many t...That's so neat that you can document so many things over the course of the week.

I bet that gallon cost less than a new gallon is at the store today. I know other people who find marked down milk but I never have been at a store at the right time to find any but I am sure glad they do sell it and someone gets it. So much they do not sell at stores gets thrown out. :( SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-70868328146696016052014-02-28T21:47:30.040-05:002014-02-28T21:47:30.040-05:00As always I look forward to your Frugal Week posts...As always I look forward to your Frugal Week posts! I feel I am right there with you and can picture your home and the changes and things you are doing. If I really saw your home I am sure it would not be as I picture it but this IS the way your home is in My mind! :-) You really inspire me in so many ways. So you have redone your bath and front room this year with the covers and rugs and shade and such. Also changing out the displays. Practically a whole new decor!! Two rooms done! Good for you!! Doesn't it just you feel so good to work in the home and spruce up here and straighten there and brighten a corner over that a way. Almost makes me giddy when I do that! Suzy Homemaker is alive and well !! <br /> Could you use the pound cake under some canned fruit for desert? Or mixed into your next cobbler as par at of it? I keep a pound cake in the freezer and cut off what we need to use. It is just good in a bowl with a bit of milk over it like cornbread. I never though of freezing the tangerines. Thanks for the information. I know you cannot freeze navel oranges as they come out bitter. Those are what I usually have on hand from our tree. I do though have tangerines to use up at times too. You had my attention in your mention of finding an inspiration to reuse a piece you had that had seen better days but was lovely yet... Can we stayed tuned for an explanation of what it was and how you used it??? :) I didn't know you sold on Half .com. We have bought books from there in the past. You have many things here and there you are doing to bring in extra money and also to use that money wisely + keep up your home and family. Reminds me of Proverbs 31. : [) Well with your inspiration still fresh in my mind I am off to spruce up my own house! Sarah Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
