Recovering

It's going to be quiet around here for the next day or two. All 5 of us were hit with a stomach virus over the weekend and a few are still recovering. I have a ton of cleaning and laundry to do to get the house back in order so I wont have much time for blogging.

I plan to get the 1st installment of Living Well on a Small Income up as soon as everything is back to normal.

FREE Dial handsoap @ Meijer, Kroger and Many other places!

Coupons.com just released a $1.00 off any dial body wash, hand soap, or bar soap coupon here(click on personal care on the left to save yourself a few minute of hunting, it was on the 2nd page when I did that)! Kroger has the hand soap on sale for 1.00 and starting tomorrow so does Meijer. Many other stores will also have these on sale for 1.00 too!

Saturday Sites to See 3/06

Trash Paddler is an interesting blog about all the trash that is polluting our water ways. He frequents rivers near his home and cleans as he goes. At the end of each trip he does a trash/recyclables collected count.

Mama's Laundry Talk is all about laundry! I wouldn't have thought there was enough laundry information to make a blog, but Mama Laundry has packed her blog full of useful laundry management information!

Garden Guides has a ton of information and pictures for almost anything you'd want to know about gardening.

Do you have article that should be highlighted here or have you read one that you found helpful or noteworthy? Drop me a line at savingsmakescents @ gmail . com (remove spaces) and you/it could be featured here in an upcoming Saturday Sites to See post!

Living Well on a Small Income

My husband gets baffled looks at work every time he tells people he just bought a house. Why? Because when they hear this they then ask where I work. When he tells him that I do not work, they are pretty confused. You see, they know about how much he makes, since everyone makes around the same (depending on how long they have been with the company).

There are guys he works with with similar living situations as us. A wife, new house, a few kids. But they are struggling to make ends meet with their wives working too. So I will be giving a summary of some of the things that have helped us live pretty well on just one income over the next few weeks.

It is not just one thing that we do that allows me to stay home with the kids. We have been doing many, many things over the past 7 or so years to be where we are today. As the years have rolled on we have found new ways to do things that help keep us on track, and we have trained ourselves better! I hope you come back starting Monday(I hope to have the first tip up then!!) to see if some of these practices can help you too.
