How to Make Clothes Last Longer
Taking good care of your clothing means you can wear them for longer. Of course that’s not always good. I’ve been to several meetings recently where the pants I was wearing were older than many of my colleagues in attendance! The pants have been around so long, they’re thankfully back in style. It all comes… Continue reading How to Make Clothes Last Longer

Weekly Meal Plan
The theme of this week’s meal plan was eat through. That’s what I like to call it when we we’re going on a trip and I don’t want to do lots of grocery shopping before we go out of town. We also needed to make room in our freezer, refrigerator, and pantry for our home… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan

How to Mend Pillow Cases
It’s a mystery to me why I’m not sleeping very well these days. I’m too hot at night so we left our down comforter in its storage bag this winter and didn’t even put it on our bed. Our upstairs, where all of our bedrooms are located, is already very cold because we don’t heat… Continue reading How to Mend Pillow Cases

Better Late Than Never
I just mailed out our Christmas cards and gifts. This is hardly considered news because plenty of people do this every year. What makes this year different for me is that I did the mailing on Tuesday, January 3rd, and not before the holidays (gasp!). Unheard of for me. I always get the cards in… Continue reading Better Late Than Never
