An Unexpected Surprise

After we take our holiday tree down, we set it outside for all the critters that come to visit our yard. When we went to take it down a few days ago, we found a mama bird sitting on her nest. I got my first shot of her today---can't wait until there are some peeping babies!

  • The hole is just large enough.

Another Thrifty Tip!

In my quest for better health and pinching pennies, I purchased one of the automatic soap dispensers before looking into the price of refills. My clever DH found a solution: After the ...»
soap was gone, he drilled a hole in the top of the soap container so it can be easily refilled. I recommend using generic since I found the name brand soaps would thicken up and clog the dispenser.

Using Plastic Crates for Gardening

I am always looking for different ways to garden or to display my plants. I ran across this idea the other day. If you have seen this or done it, I'd like any input you have.

Make the most out of a small closet

Our bedroom closet measures 3x2x10 and for years we have struggled to make our clothes fit. We recently added 2 shelves with room for one more, plus I discovered Space Bags and these ...»
nifty stackable hangers. Both are great space savers. In addition, since we also share a dresser, I purchased a cloth closet and some baskets at the $$store to use for all my personals. I can't stand anything on my floors so if you are wondering where I keep my shoe collection it is in another closet hanging on a shoe tree.

How have you solved your space issues?

    only like $4 and came in black. The one in my laundry room was a bit more at $7 and only came in blue. My Family Dollar still sells them so hopefully you will find one or more, too.
