Teaching moment

My Son and I pulled weeds for our neighbors. (This past summer)

We were sweaty and very dirty.

Shoes too.

My son learned you can wash sneakers.

And this is how I dried them. (So they didn't bonk around in the dryer)

(Yes, of course, you can air dry)

Another Hair cut

 I have shown how I cut my hair before.

This time I did long layers.  It is how you pull your hair forward.

Then instead of a blunt cut, I went back in to give it texture.

Ready to cut and trim

Inches cut off, going back in to give it texture

Craft Show

 Simple, to the point

I particpated in a local craft show

I did make a profit

But would rather give my crafts as gifts or sell on Facebook

My best sellers were:

Swiffer covers, water bottle holders, market bags and face scrubbies

A little of this, A little of that

 Dinner Time.

I don't have enough of one veggie

Here is what I do have:

2 tiny potatoes

1 tomato that has seen better days

1/2 red bell pepper

1 large sweet potato

1 onion

Baby carrots

Viola.....nice side dish for dinner

Salt pepper olive oil, bake

Free Dinner, Well Free Meat

My husband switched his prescriptions to a pharmacy in a grocery store.  They gave him a 25.00 store card.

The store eventually had a sale.

All this would have been exactly 25 dollars

I paid ZERO

Meat Math

I used 1 package of ham for a dinner for my family of three.

That is 1.66 per person for the meat

But we had leftovers, so I will divide by 4, that is 1.25 per serving

Then I used 2 of the Pork tenderloins for a dinner with 7 people and had plenty left overs.  So I'll divide by 8 and that is also 1.25 per person for the meat.
