Hillbilly Housewife

I just found a great website called Hillbilly Housewife! I hate the word “frugal” or “cheap”. It sounds like “Lack” and that is a word I don’t like. I have tried to have a prosperity mentality my whole adult life. However I do bake and cook from scratch because it makes good “cents” and make almost all of our cleaning products. You can call it “green” if you like, but I call it smart. The cool thing about Hillbilly Housewife is the range of recipes. Plus I can relate the whole hillbilly thang!

My only challenge is to have things available when I am not home. If I have a return to the hospital with my mother, my poor DH and DD#2 are at a loss for dinner! Neither one cooks from scratch! And fast food is not an option. So I am vowing to have several meals in the freezer ready for the oven and at least one meal put together in a brown paper bag in the pantry for the stove. There. Mother of the Year, don’t you think?

 

Cheers!

Happy New Year!

Here’s to a wonderful New Year despite what the new’s tells us! 

I have been in the hospital with my mom for a week now and will hopefully be taking her home tomorrow the 2nd. YEA! I am so tired of hospital food. The university where the hospital is located is closed for the holidays so the other options for food are not available! No Chick-fil-A!! How sad. 

I am looking forward to sewing mini-aprons for an exchange due in February. I just found a ruffler attachment for my machine so it will be so much faster to do. That way I can embellish to my heart’s content! Ah, I am ready to get back to a normal schedule. 

Well, I intend to live by the belief that Life is what I make it. And I am so blessed!

Happy New Year!

Cheers!
