I brought my dinner to work tonight and I scored free chicken wire and fence post on craigslist to put around the garden we are starting.

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful advice. My dh and I are going to go get the things for our garden tomorrow. I found free used fence post and chicken wire on craigslist (go me) so that should be enough to keep the dog out of the garden. Then we are going to try and find some plants...

Well i am so glad to know that I am not alone. DD is still refusing to do it as of tonight. I am just at my whits end that she is going to go to school and not know these things. I still have a year to go before I have to worry really I guess. She will be almost 5 1/2 before she can start school...

To some this may seem minor but to me it is a huge step. I usually stop at Dollar General (right next door to my work) everyday and spend atleast $5 if not more. Well this whole week I have only gone in once and that was to buy toilet paper and dog food. I stuck to those 2 items paid and left. I...

My dh did work up until I had dd and we decided we did not want her in daycare ect. At that point he was working at a car repair shop and I am a sleep technician. I made the most money and had healthcare so it was more logical for me to work and him to stay home since he made minimum wage and no...

Thanks for the info. I am deff. going to get tomatos, they grow like crazy here. There is a peach orchard here, not sure about the pick your own though. There is a strawberry patch that is pick your own around the Agricenter, there is also a farmers market there but it seems everything is higher...

oh ok thanks. I have seen it at our dollar tree. I didn't think about that.

I may have to look into ways to fix beans to taste like something else since I hate them plain.

Well I signed up for freecycle here and my dh thinks that we still have time to start a small garden in our back yard. I don't really have a green thumb (more of a black/gray color) since every plant I have had has died but I am willing to give it a try. I am going to keep my eyes open on...

where do you find all purpose dry bleach? Thanks ladies I am going to try these.

My DD does the same thing with numbers FarmerChick. I am going to try to bribe her to do it but have in the past and she refused & wouldn't say anything. sometimes I think she is just stubborn.

All of you have wondeful ideas. I am deff. going to start doubling something and freezing or using Sat. to cook several meals and freeze. As far as hair cuts go me and my dd have very curly hair so I am affraid to cut it myself. We only get our hair trimmed every 5-6 months and go to someones...

I have a 4 yr. old dd who knows her letters and numbers but absolutely refuses to learn them in order. We have tried the songs and anything and everything else I could think of and nothing works. I am starting to think she has a learning disability but our doctor says give it time she is just a...

Does anyone have a recipe for Powder Homemade Laundry Soap? I hate liquid but that is all I seem to find for the homemade variety.

Also my personal problem is I am very very very picky when it comes to veggies so that is something I am working on to overcome. Any suggetions on ways to fix them so they aren't awful would be nice. At this moment the only veggies I eat are Cooked: Green Beans, Potatos, Broccoli, Corn, Yellow...

Thanks for the advice. I will look into the post suggested. Keep it coming ladies & gents (I am assuming they are here).

Ok this is my first time to post here but have looked through several post before joining. I am in desperate need to cut back on my families spending so we can start saving some money and build a emergency fund. I am starting a envelope system to budget out our cash on a weekly bases (thanks to...
