One of the biggest issues I had when I first got chickens was where to put the eggs. You may remember there was a bit of a debate about whether I needed to keep them in the fridge or not. I said no, the fella said yes. My no is based on scientific research. The [...]
O.K. Fair warning. The writing portion of these posts is going to get shorter and shorter the closer we get to Christmas. Even though I got everything done I wanted to by the Christmas Pledge deadline I’m still screwed. I have no idea how this is possible, but it is and I don’t want to [...]
You might remember a while ago I did a post on how to make t-shirt shopping bags. If you’re looking for a quick and easy Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza/Saw my first Snowflake in the shape of The Fonz, you should give them a shot. IF you’d like to step up to the plate and go above and [...]
Around this time last year I posted a Christmas House Tour of my home that featured a DIY I came up with using a few supplies from the Dollar Store and … the ever popular mason jar. I have a thing for mason jars. And by “thing” I mean an unhealthy love affair [...]

There’s still a couple of weeks left in the holiday season and I’m going to milk everything out of it that I can. I wish it were Christmas every month. There’s no shortage of post ideas, that’s for sure. You know those stores where it’s Christmas all year round? They’re usually ingeniously named “The Christmas [...]
It’s a good thing there’s hardly anything to do and hardly any money to spend around the holidays. That way I have plenty of time and money to get hostess gifts to go to the holiday parties that I have all kinds of time for. Honestly, I find myself so bored and filled with cash [...]
Part II of my series in Stock Stuffers! Normally I’d start this with a little story, a little explanation about what I’m about to show you. Not today. This speaks for itself. O.K.
