My heart skipped a beat when I first saw the Well-Planned Planner. Since it was the middle of the school year, I decided to wait on the new one. The 2010-2011 version is now available and it is on sale 20% off until March 31st!

eat from the pantry challenge
I am joining the 200+ people taking the Eat From the Pantry Challenge this month. Hubby is between jobs as he works on setting up his own optical lab, so this will hopefully hold me accountable as I try to squeeze every penny. I may not make it the entire month, but I’m gonna give it a go!
There are no hard & fast rules other than to use up your pantry and freezer supplies, and save some grocery $$ in the process.
(Just so you know, our family is 2 adults and 5 kids, ages 1 – 12)
Here are my goals for the challenge:
- take a complete inventory of my pantry & freezer
- creatively use up all of the little bits & pieces leftover from the holidays
- try out several new recipes
- cut my weekly grocery budget of $85 down to $50 or less – I am still going to take advantage of any great coupon/sale deals, but I will not use any of those items during the challenge.
- use coupons to get as many free or close-to-free items as I can and donate them to a local food pantry
I will be posting my inventory list and the recipes that we try. Let me know if you join the challenge and I will drop by to take a look!
a holly jolly christmas

This poor blog has been a bit neglected the past couple of weeks, but my family has been well taken care of. 🙂 I am ready to get back into the swing of things and enjoy a Blessed December!
Here are some upcoming plans and posts. Tune back in everyday this week for lots of links & ideas!
~ Do you live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area? There are some fun holiday activities going on and I will have a list to share.
~ There are also some fun events going on in Bloggyworld!
~ We are going to make a Jesus Box this year.
~ We are spending the afternoon creating Christmas Countdown Calendars (so I can quit answering “How many more days until Christmas?”).
~ I have lots of Advent links to share. There are so many good ideas that I’m having a hard time narrowing down what I want to do this year!
~ I like to do Funschool in December. We will be studying the history behind the symbols of Christmas. Here are my Funschool Links from last year to keep you busy until I get the new links up.
~ Are you having a homemade Christmas this year? Money is tight for many of us. I will be sharing links for lots of ideas to make for all ages. Things like: candy & treats, gifts in a jar, toys, and lots more!
~ And of course I will be sharing lots of money-saving *Jingles* !!
*jingle all the way (to the bank!)
You’ve probably noticed my *Jingle* posts by now, so I thought it was time for a proper introduction.
Christmas is just a few weeks away, and I think many of us are having to cut corners and get creative with gifts this year.
*Jingles* are just good deals that I come across throughout my internet adventures and want to pass along to you.
I might *Jingle* about some inexpensive holiday fun or free events.
I will also be *Jingling* about different ways to make a little Christmas cash.
Be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss any of the fun!!
You can view all of the *Jingles* HERE
