A Step Ladder For A Bathroom Stool

I needed a place to sit and to also store a few spa essentials in our bathroom. I finally put an old step ladder to use and killed two birds with one stone

  • How many times have you thrown food away because it spoiled before you ate it?
  • We changed our approach to food and have stretched our savings and food stores by using these few tricks.
  • Buying nuts in bulk is cheaper, but you don't want them to go back.  Separate them into air tight containers until you're ready to use them.
  • We freeze our own beans!  We soak them and divide them into meal size servings and lay them flat to freeze.
  • We portion our meats and freeze them.
  • Just make sure to label the freezer bag with the date and remove as much air as possible.
  • We do this for all our meats - chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, pork loin steaks. 3
  • TIP! Save all your chicken scraps, skin and bones, as well as any vegetable scraps.  I store them in a freezer bag and once the bag is full, I slow cook the scraps into a broth.  I let the broth cool and skim the fat, then store it!
  • For portion control, freeze your cookie dough. We fly through a batch of cookies in a few days.  Roll the dough into small balls and freeze them.
  • Transfer them to a freezer bag with the baking instructions on the outside.  Only take out the number of cookies you want to eat.
  • We make our own granola.  It's so easy, just find your favorite recipe and make. Much cheaper than store bought without all the preservatives. 1
  • One of our biggest money savers is making our own pizza.  We buy frozen dough in bulk.  We've made our own pizza sauce, too.  Each pizza comes to about $2.75! 1
  • Making your own bread may be daunting, but it's really quite easy.  One recipe we use makes two loaves.

  • We tore out our existing backsplash and created a custom hood above the cooktop. I opted to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to help me achieve the french country feel I was looking for. Working on finishing up the rest of the cabinet doors 4

DIY Shag Rag Rug {Tutorial}

was by far the most time consuming, but it was WELL worth it!!! It turned out better than I imagined and looks just like the ones that retail for $600+
