You know the problem with having many blogs that sort of interrelate? You write stuff at one that would be just as useful at another.
In thinking about what I’d like to write about here, I realized that I write a lot about saving money elsewhere. In case you’re interested, here’s a run down of some […]
I saw this photo while searching for something else, but it struck me so I saved it. I used to have these old thrift store bottles that I placed in windows with flowers and such, but I really like this idea above.

Sometimes when I mention free stuff around the web it seems we all sign up, but then nothing happens. Thank goodness that wasn’t the case with the free trees.
Remember the free trees? Last May I turned you on to a promotion for trees. It was sponsored by Double Tree hotels in hopes of getting us […]
Are you composting for your garden yet? My parents had a compost heap long before all this green living stuff came about. We threw all our egg shells, old leaves, watermelon rinds and lots of other organic material in there. Then we used it for the flowers and tomatoes. It really is the secret to […]
When I was a kid my grandmother had several massive maple trees in her backyard. Every fall my brothers and sisters and I would rake these leaves into a big pile against the back stoop. Then we would take running jumps off the stoop into the leaves. The fun would last several days with our […]
This is a great little video with easy tips on saving money and energy. What I like about this is that the host is showing things everyone can do. I love the tip about keeping bottles of water in your fridge. That’s if you have room in your fridge…I’m not a big fan of kerosene […]
