FREE Bushes!

Hi Y'all,

Bree Hafen here... wondering if any of you want the bushes we pulled out of our yard. They are 2 medium sized round bushes, small leaves, kinda pokey branches, uh, that's really all I know about them. They are sitting on our porch, hoping for a good home. Please come by and pick them up if you want them!

If you need my address, email me - briannahafen {at} gmail {dot} com

Thanks,
Bree

Taste of Home Magazine - $2.88 a year!!!

I just came across this deal for "Taste of Home" magazine - $2.88 a year. That I know of it's only for a limited time. I love this magazine because it has tons of recipes that are very cook-friendly, and most of the time does not require fancy-schmancy ingredients and complicated techniques.

https://publicationstation.storesecured.com/

It does not require a coupon code but you must select Checkout before the price will adjust. You can view your price adjustment before you pay.

I've ordered from this website before. Every so often they have these awesome deals for magazines. Dirt cheap.

Happy cooking!

Refrigerator/Freezer fixer

Can anyone recommend a refrigerator/freezer technician? The freezer side of my fridge is not cooling that well. My husband has tried everything he knows to do and it's still not fixed. The warranty on it just expired a couple of months ago... I am so mad... Thanks! Carrie H. 972.999.5611 - carriefung@yahoo.com

Great blog to follow.

Don't know how many of you ladies have seen this one, but it's a really great blog to follow, especially for someone like me that is learning what the meaning of frugality means. She offers lots of great information about coupons, sales, freebies and ways to earn extra income (mind you, you won't get rich off of these, but a penny earned is a penny earned). Enjoy!

Car Mechanic

I need to get my car checked out before I drive up to Colorado in a couple weeks. Anyone know of a good, honest mechanic?

Thanks!

Anyone's husband know how to fix a dryer?

We will PAY him. We can't afford the 150.00 just for the tech guy to come out and look at it.... Thanks!

Trampoline

I have a trampoline that I want to get rid of. It's a second hand and not in the greatest shape but it's FREE so you can't really beat the price. Let me know if you're interested.

Toilet Training Tips please!

Hey Sistas!!

I need some advice. Badly.

My son, Sam, turned two in February and that got me thinking about potty training. Oh boy. I can't tell you the dread that descends over me by those words. We did get him a little toilet seat for his birthday, but that's about all that's happened since then. Please, please, please -- could you comment or email me (khall63@gmail.com) some strategies/methods that have worked for you? I feel so confused because some experts say you should have started at 6 mos, and others say wait until they're "ready" at two and a half. Then others say use a timer and take the kid to the toilet every 20 minutes, and still other experts argue that it has to be child-initiated, don't force them. Do you use bribes - candy and sticker charts - or just applaud and congratulate the boy? What to do??

Whatever the case, I feel that now's the time, whether I want to or not, the sooner the better! I'm hoping and praying that this will be a swift process. So what works?

Sewing help quick!

I have about 8 pairs of pant that my kids have with holes in them so I wanted to cut them and make them shorts since we don't have the $ to buy summer clothes. The problem is they start fraying around the edges and I try to fold them to hide it but they keep coming unfolded. I have NO idea how to sew and don't own a machine. I want to know if anyone knows how to sew so I can pay you to make a little hem to keep the bottom folded. We leave for Cali on Friday and I am hoping to get them fixed before then so my kids won't look homeless. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
