Good for you! Congrats on a great find!

Sorry...can't post now....laughing too hard to contribute anything usefull. :lol:

I buy the cheap cheese crackers, pretzels, and the generic gold fish or corn chips. When I get home I mix them all together in a large bowl or bucket to make like a snack mix. Then I fill small ziplock bags (that are probably reused about 100 times for this same thing) with about 1 cup of the...

I forgot to say that for my nieces and nephews I am going to make these cute fleece hats. They are super easy and you can use up scraps of fleece to make them. The picture is of the one I made my youngest son. (he is also the cutie in the picture)

Beekissed - I love the idea of the hearth baskets and fire starter pinecones. Could you please explain how to make them or post a pic. I would really appreciate it! If you really wanted you could just send me one. I share your appreciation of the good life!! :P Just teasin'! I am making...

When I was younger I lived on a farm with my Mom and her husband at the time for a few years. It was so nice. There was a little bld just out the back door alittle way. My Mom's husband called it a summer kitchen. It was not real big, probably 10X10. It had windows all around on three sides...

This is cose to my recipe. Instead of adding cinnamon, try using french vanilla creamer. It adds a yummy flavor as well!!

Yes, we get alot of snow. TPBM: if you had to leave home and could only grab one thing, what would it be?

This is too wierd. The boys and I made a huge batch of hot cocoa mix today. We use powdered milk, nestle quick, coffee creamer, and powdered sugar. Then you can either mix it with water or milk. I prefer milk but my DH likes to mix his with water.

When I checked our local markets they would not give them out. Not sure why. I am going to keep checking around. I will try the local Subway and other food joints.

k0xxx - Wow! You are very prepared! We have also went through a tornado. Lost everything, had to rebuild, the whole nine yards. That is when we purchased our generator and began to really become more prepared for anything that might happen. To be honest with you, when we look back now the...

Tonight we had meatloaf and baked potatoes and green beans. The best part was dessert, fresh baked apple pie! YUM! :P

Lucky you!! I love yard sales. I stopped at one on Friday and found losts of good stuff too!!

Welcome everyone! I can't wait for all your knowledge to come pouring through on some great new posts! :D

I had never thought of the pumps for shampoo either. What a great idea especially for my younger two boys. They seem to think you need a handfull of soap to wash their almost shaved heads! :o I have been taking their shampoo out of reach when they get in the bath and then "rationing" it...

I agree. Just look around you and be realistic about what you need to survive every day. Stock up on items that you are light on and continue doing what you are doing if you feel it is adequate ( such as canning, splitting wood, etc.) I feel pretty comfortable as far as the amt of food and...

We hardly ever rented movies untill Red Box showed up everywhere. It is easy to use and only $1.00 a night. Renting a movie still only happens about once a month or so for us. I will have to check this movie out sometime. Probably on a weekend my DH is busy with work and the boys are doing...

Welcome! I am happy to see you! I look forward to reading your posts. :D
