Gas

I am thankful gas prices are falling. Any money you can save at the pump is always good. I hate paying more for gas at one station and then finding it cheaper at another. I just feel like it's the same product so why pay more. My hubs teases me about saving even just a few cents but I love the quote about you don't have the dollars because you didn't count your pennies. I can't remember who said that but it is so true.

In the Sunday USA weekend incert it shared ways to save on gas.

It listed a website www.gaspricewatch.com but it must work the best in bigger cities because I couldn't find anything in our area. However, gasbuddy.com is very helpful!!

Another tip it gave for saving money at the pump was look for gas stations with cash discounts.

Also, stations not affiliated with major chains can be less expensive because they buy from many sources.

Lastly, check your tire pressure. Underinflation by just 3 psi (pounds per square inch) can burn 1% extra fuel.

I love the color!!

Berries

In April we picked strawberries with our mommies group. We have been to this strawberry farm before but T was much younger. He enjoyed it so much this time. He enjoyed picking the berries and loved running down the rows. I was very pleased that we left with a gallon bucket for $9 (not only was it fun but it saved money too). We enjoyed eating the strawberries by themselves, in our yogurt, trying new recipes and we still had enough to freeze.
Our time in the strawberry patch..





Then at the first of June we went to a blueberry patch with our mommies group. We picked about 3/4 of a gallon and paid $9. It was lots of fun and you can't beat that price.



Blueberry cobbler is on the menu for tonight!!!

I recently finished the book Well-Being for Dummies that I got free in the mail (I can't remember how).
Pretty intersting book talking about your body, finances and life in general. I am now going to try and sell it on-line. Next weeks post will talk more about where I sell my books once I am finished with them and don't want to keep them.

Father's Day Ideas

Y'all know I love Martha Stewart and her ideas!!! I am not creative but am using Martha's help to get my Martha Stewartist on.

For Father's Day I wanted to do something that T could help me with. I found a Nuts and Bolts mix in her May 2011 (I think) issue. My Dad, husband and father in-law are all very handy/fix it themselves men so I thought this was the perfect fit!!

Check out the recipe here. You can get the clip art here.

I purchased the containers from the Container Store (I had to order them online) but I signed up for the Container Store e-mails before I purchased them and received an e-mail!!! I saved at least 10% maybe 20% (can't remember now how much the coupon was for) by doing this!! Lots of stores do this!!
I purchased self-adhesive paper at Hobby Lobby (40% off coupon) for less than $3 for a pack of 5 sheets.
T loved helping make their (one for the hubs, my dad and father in-law) gifts...

T shaking up the mix..


Ready to bake...


T with the finished product. Please excuse the big boy pants, we had just finished playing in little pool in our backyard while the mix finished.



Then we used clip-art labels from Martha to put on the front of cards. T wanted to make them cards and draw them pictures so we made our own. Check out the cute clip-art here.


Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Dad. He has always been so encouraging and supportive of everything I did/do. He is also a wonderful grandfather to my little boy.
Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. He is such a patient man and balances out my high strung ways by being so laid back. He is a very hard worker and provides for our family so well. He is a wonderful father and spends countless hours playing in the floor wrestling with T and playing anything else T asks him too. The hubs has another gift for Father's Day too but just in case he reads the blog I'll keep it a secret for now.
Happy Father's Day to my wonderful father in-law. He did a wonderful job of teaching my husband how to work hard and provide. He taught him how to be a true southern gentleman as well. My FIL also has lots of helpful, practical advice he shares too.
I am so thankful all 3 of these men are Men of God and are helping shape T into a man just like them!!

Be Kind to Your Feet

I read a great little article in the USA Weekend a few weeks ago about your feet and wanted to share these little tidbits.

Take protective steps.
You always put sunscreen on your face, arms and legs but do you do the same for you ankles, toes and soles? Skin cancer can occur on any unprotected part of your body and experts say melanoma of the foor and ankel is prevalent.

Skip flip-flops on most days. (this is hard in the south)
Research shows flip-flops can be painfully bad for your feet. If flip-flops can fold in half, they're not sturdy enough. Investigators at AUBURN UNIVERSITY (yes you read that right) foudn that when people walk in the thong-style versions, they change your gait, which can result in foot, ankle and leg pain. They're fine in moderation just make sure to chose a sturdy pair with cushioning and arch support and replace them at the first signs of wear and tear.

Keep feet dry.
About 1/3 of Americans have sweaty, smelly feet. Air out sweety shoes before waering them again and chose naturaol or syntheitc blend socks that wick away moisture.

If your feet need a little more TLC check out the BeautiControl Pedicure Set here Hurry before the sale price ends in ONLY 2 more weeks!!!
