Text of the page (random words):
simpler in a pinch doing a morning and evening routine can be the difference between a house that is pretty much company presentable and a disaster zone so if i am ill or not able to devote a full day to cleaning my home is still ready for hospitality morning un make the bed this sounds counter productive doesn t it there is a reason to do this i throw back the covers on the bed and let the sheets air this is ideally done for at least 1 hour i sometimes do make up the bed after 20 minutes and occasionally john sees the unmade bed and decides to make it himself but most mornings i let the bed air an hour this helps keep the sheets fresh all week long and it allows the bedding to completely dry in case of any dampness from perspiration during the night open the curtains opening the curtains each morning lets the sunshine pour into the house it is ideal to also open windows and let the house air for a few minutes this is a habit i mean to incorporate with my new routines however opening the curtains is a signal to my brain that the day is well begun there s something about those open blinds and curtains that makes me feel ready to face the work of the day continue at april 12 2017 6

were faded and starting to fray in areas i d patched them in the past but this time i knew they really were done when the season was over so i planned to buy new ones however i was looking at the old cushions and it occurred to me to reuse the filler form and make new covers using an indoor outdoor table cloth i d purchased last year at aldi for 4 7 i think i d bought two meaning to use them as curtains on my front porch to block the sun but honesty they seemed a bit busy to have such a big space of pattern stretched out well there was the fabric i needed i had enough fabric to make four cushion covers and a small tablecloth for the café table on the back porch i used the old cover as a guide and the form as my pattern i allowed for 1 2 seam allowances on the cushions i positioned two of them so the front of the cushion was on the fold of the fabric but couldn t do all four that way continue at april 11 2017 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest in my home this week all i have in my home this week i am determined to once again give all my best to my main vocations that of making home productive and pleasant and nurturing my writing work here on the blog i ve been sailing along of late without any real plan or focus well this cannot go on i m enjoying life just fine but i m missing that deep satisfaction at day s end when i settle down to rest i am too conscious that i might have worked harder in the home i am bored with the content of my mind i have already spent too much of the day with games or in mindless pursuits and it s just not working for me this was most clearly brought home last friday when i had a hard talking to myself i d not slept well thursday night and that always makes it a bit harder for me to focus i spent the bulk of the early morning hours when i m normally most productive looking at what appeared to be an overwhelming number of tasks i played a round of games on the computer read emails gazed at the housework determined i really ought to do something and did nothing much for another hour or so eventually i just pulled myself up by my own bootstraps and got busy i forced my attention to stay focused on each job i laid my hand to instead of wandering aimlessly from this to that and finishing nothing in the end the overwhelming work and an onerous task took up the better part of the remaining morning hours but then i was done and it was but 11 30am i looked at the clock thought of what i might do for leisure then focused instead on making cushion covers for the porch chairs at 1pm i stopped for lunch and went back to work at 1 30 at 2 30pm i was all done and ran up a quick little café tablecloth in a spare five minutes then i headed to computer to work on blog post continue

our typical shabat day we headed to the pawn shop sidewalk sale john has wanted to go for years but was never able to attend for one reason and another i heard the television ad tuesday and told john about it so off we went saturday morning which was a beautiful cool sort of morning we had to park about a block away i d no idea this was such a huge big deal but it apparently is we bought a pair of gardening gloves another old saw john bought two at the antiques mall just a week ago a few really good tools i found a 5 ft tall windmill to put in one of my flower beds we also bought an army cot which is for the grandchildren i could put two toddlers on the cot or 1 bigger grand child i was planning to buy a child sized cot but the idea of having them outgrow it didn t appeal to me we ll look for more but at least now i have one we came home and i made dinner here we bought a steak at aldi on friday i ve been experimenting with the aldi beef i really do like the butcher shop meat and the fresh market meats but the cost is really prohibitive on any cut but hamburger and chicken breasts bess had told me how much she likes the chuck roast i tried one a few weeks ago and was impressed with it s tenderness and how tasty it was i d like to have had a larger one but they just don t package them any larger so this week we bought the sirloin steak and a rump roast the sirloin weighted 1 3 4pounds that s big enough for four servings for us i cut the steak and put half in the freezer and cooked half it was really tender surprisingly so in my opinion continue at april 07 2017 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest eating on a tight budget april s basics challenge i pondered options for this month i could set a dollar amount and do as i ve done in the past three months making out a menu for two for 21 meals at that set point was one option frankly i ve proven to myself i can do it and i was ready for another challenge i looked over two wartime thrifty meal plans in vintage woman s day magazines and contemplated following one of those for a week though i wasn t sure it would be half so thrifty as it was considered then i do admit though that it s an intriguing idea despite the liberal use of liver sausage in one of the menus pretty sure john wasn t going to be on board with that i kept coming back to doing a basic ingredients challenge i d said once before that you could make just about anything with the same basic ingredients just by changing up the seasonings and adding in a few minor ingredients so this challenge is about basic items in the kitchen and creating a variety of meals from them in my scenario i m taking a chicken a bunch of celery a bag of carrots and a bag of onions and i m going to show how those same ingredients can be used in a variety of ways to make different meals now this is far more economical than you might think because while i m not limiting anyone to just one chicken or one bunch of celery etc several of the meals can be made from just that one chicken pot roasted chicken may not be something you commonly think of but i ve made this on more than one occasion you can do this in the crockpot or slow roast in the oven i leave the chicken whole and then chop some carrots onions and celery and place them around the chicken i have often added potato chunks and apple chunks to the pan and it s really delicious continue at april 06 2017 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels budgeting past post targeted clearance just a brief note

budgeting past post what are you really worth monday april 16 2007 how much are you worth i deserve it i m worth it it s only 5 i ve had a bad week i should treat myself excuses excuses excuses i ve used every one of them have heard them used time and time again by others all these little catch phrases usually are heard just about the time money is going to be spent in an area where we know beyond a doubt we can t really afford the expenditure and i m willing to bet that like myself you haven t stopped to figure out what you re really worth what you really deserve when we stop and consider what worth or value we place on ourselves what we deserve from our lives do you consider the bottle of nail polish or lipstick bought at the department store counter as representative of that value or could that 30 be better applied to your debt load or saved towards a much dreamed about vacation perhaps you like i myself once did think 5 here and there doesn t add up but i had a powerful

here now and the pollen is settled enough that we might have tea on the porch if you d like just ignore my mess there i m planning to go get flowers for pots later this week i d thought it would be easier to work on them if they were all centrally located and ignore that pile of things there we re going to be moving the steel cabinet off the back porch john has decided he could use it as a surface for storing things at the back of his shed where he means to put a concrete pad and a lean to roof i had hoped when i bought the thing to dress it up in fresh paint and use it as a sort of potting table and storage too but it didn t hold up well to the exposure of being outdoors and gradually just began to look hideous it spoils the ambience of the back porch when it is looking spruce and not piled up as it as at the moment if you tiptoe over you can peek at the nest yes the little bird is back to nest there once more i ve no idea why she s so enamored with this back porch she s had the most rotten sort of luck nesting here but i guess that little bird has a deep faith that at some point she s raising a family here to a successful conclusion and so the cabinet is empty save that coiled extension cord and her nest she s used the cord to anchor the nest by the way i know because when i d planned to move it the whole lot shifted and i just gently pushed it back into place and went away i wasn t sure it was a fresh nest but john told me when he came in that he saw her sitting and said hello to her continue at april 03 2017 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share
