Blissful and Domestic: Grocery Shopping -cut it in half!- Blissful and Domestic is about saving money and living a frugal happy life. One way I do that is by going homemade. Going Homemade means less money spent at the store and more time and money saved. I get to spend more time with those red heads of mine because less time is spent running errands for things I really don't need. By going homemade we have saved our family a ton of money. Alright let's dive in with a little background info first. Hubby served 5 years in the army. was the book. This book started my family on a journey. When I am getting ready to start a new month I prepare and plan. I have a shelf in my kitchen, which holds all my favorite cook books.Some meals make it to our menu every month. Go to old cookbooks, Pinterest, blogs, etc for inspiration.I even request cookbooks from the library or borrow cookbooks from my friends. I literally write it all down on a piece of paper. Once my meal plan is ready to go, I look at the grocery store adds. I also don't buy canned beans.
Smaller version of the trap Genius Idea! northtosouth This post was originally published in January 2015, but due to its popularity I update it regularly (last update November 2016). I used to expect to pay over $1000 for round-trip tickets to Europe. Now I’d never pay over $500. And one-way tickets for $200 or less are more common than you’d think. When we started traveling full time, our frugal beginner’s travel budget forced us to find the cheapest method to fly to Europe. Traveling on the cheap from the U.S. to Europe is quite simple, really. a flexible travel schedulepacking lightmy new favorite airline Our Secret to Finding Cheap Plane Tickets from the U.S. to Europe Now it’s time for the big reveal. We flew to Europe via Norwegian again in April 2016. Why is it so cheap? Want to pack lighter & more organized? It’s important to note that there are only 5* U.S. cities that Norwegian currently departs from. Norwegian’s cheapest flights are usually to/from Scandinavia, but they still offer affordable flights elsewhere in Europe.
The Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide and its Many Uses by Andrea Harper and Dr Akilah El Hydrogen peroxide is the only germicidal agent composed only of water and oxygen. Like ozone, it kills disease organisms by oxidation! Hydrogen peroxide is considered the worlds safest all natural effective sanitizer. It kills microorganisms by oxidizing them, which can be best described as a controlled burning process. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water. Whiten Clothes – An Alternative to Beach Add a cup of Peroxide to white clothes in your laundry to whiten them. Health: Your body makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function correctly. Rejuvenating Detoxifying Bath: Use about 2 quarts 3% hydrogen peroxide to a tub of warm water. Foot Fungus: To cure a foot fungus, simply spray a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

Mosquito Trap Silk-Dyed Eggs {aka TIE-Dyed!} I posted this tutorial a few years ago and it has become somewhat of a tradition to bring it back every year! One of our family Easter traditions is dying eggs with pieces of silk. I saw a cute lady show Martha how to do it a few years ago and I ran upstairs right then to steal a tie! It’s way cooler than those cups of neon liquid that end up all over your clothes, your furniture and your hands plus it gives you an excuse to rid a man’s closet of ugly ties. Here’s the run-down: You need 100% silk for this to work. I try to find an assortment of colors and patterns. Usually it will tell you if it’s 100% silk right on the main label of the tie, but a lot of them don’t, and if that’s the case, check that little tiny end, it’s usually hiding there. The first step is to deconstruct the tie. Next you cut a piece large enough to cover an egg. Now, notice how I tied the eggs in the above photo- with the tie on the top of the long side of the egg. I wish eggs came like this at the grocery store.

Elderberry Street Library: Does LED attract insects? For several decades pest management professionals (PMPs) have been advising their customers about the kind of lights to use and their proper placement on the exterior of their home or business to reduce the attraction to night-flying insects. When they became available, PMPs advised customers to change exterior white incandescent or florescent bulbs to less attractive yellow bulbs, and mercury vapor lights to less attractive sodium vapor lights. Recently, the lighting industry has brought LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights onto the market for outdoor use. The question is, are LEDs a good choice for outdoor lights, and why or why not? What light is attractive to insects? Humans can see light wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum from 400-800 nanometers (nm), which ranges from violet to red in color, but does not include ultraviolet (UV) light at 350 nm. Insects generally see 3 colors of light, Ultraviolent (UV), blue and green. Characteristics of LED light. Take home message.
