I have learned that I like special “me” time. Pampering yourself sends a powerful and positive message to yourself….you are worth it! If you do not have the budget to pay for this at a fancy spa, do it yourself at home. It’s great. You don’t have to call ahead or worry if your spa is [...] May 2nd, 2009 | Category: Living Large on a Budget |

We recently painted our kitchen. Color is not my friend, and neither is decision making for that matter (I have the paint samples still in the hall to prove it.). Combine the two, and I’m lucky to still be married. Remind me sometime to tell you about the time I didn’t like the color the [...] Share with the world!
Buy generic where you can. While I am happy with most generic brands, there are a few items that I really must stick with the name brand. This may not seem like much, but a few dollars here and there adds up. Share with the world!
Eating at home is so much cheaper AND healthier for you. You know exactly what is going in to your meals. I really struggle with the prices now at a restaurant. It is amazing how long we can eat off of what we pay for one average dinner for two at a restaurant. Breakfast for Dinner [...] Share with the world!
This is a great comfort food! It smells so delicious cooking and is perfect for a cold, rainy day. It is also great for entertaining. Easy to fix ahead and heat for guests. 3 beef bouillon cubes 1 cup boiling water 1 large onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped butter or olive oil 2-3 tbs. flour 1 can tomato [...] Share with the world!
I am a self-professed homebody. I have no idea why that has such an ugly connotation to it. It’s like you are not cool unless you travel the world and are out doing something all the time. It is like saying you are not living life unless you are doing it outside the home. I [...] Share with the world!
This is my secret linguine and clam sauce recipe, and I think it is the best linguine and clam sauce EVER. Of course, it probably is not so secret now that I have published it here. Well that’s ok. Good things are meant to be shared with others. This sauce smells SO good! This is a [...] Share with the world!
Have you heard of the envelope system? Many finance programs teach this all cash system for tracking and managing money. It’s great. Our children used it when we were teaching them about money. It’s just a little hard to go to an ALL cash system as adults. It works great for spending allowances but is [...] Share with the world!
Ok, maybe that title was a bit ambitious. I probably wouldn’t go straight to “easy”, maybe “easier”. I absolutely hate grocery shopping. I love cooking but just hate going to get the food. I am waiting on someone to decide to offer this service and deliver it to my front door step. Until then, this [...] February 23rd, 2009 | Category: A Penny Saved, Home & Hearth |

As a mom and just general homebody, I have always loved that phrase. This mindset has been what has kept me home with my children. If you do the shopping for food, clothes and most other things you need around the house, you are a home manager. While you may not be getting a paycheck every [...] February 21st, 2009 | Category: A Penny Saved |

I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I live an extraordinary life. We all do.
This blog is a collection of my photography, random thoughts, ponderings and what I learn along the way. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you, too. We have but one live to live. Make it an EXTRAORDINARY one!
Be your own leading lady! Live out loud! The world is your stage!
 A little of this and that...
