Keeping Cool With No A/C ( or Power )

I am always looking for ways to save money on bills ! Our heating bills were more than usual this year because of the major cold we had. So I have been looking for ways to save money on cooling cost and ways to not use the air conditioner as much. I found these free patterns or Tutorials online to make these awesome neck cooling bands. They are so easy and really do work. I remember when I was little and we sat in the heat all day at the Madison Regatta and someone had let us kids use theirs and it really cooled us off. You can buy yourself some , but I am all about saving money so I suggest you make your own. I know that you have some fabric laying around that is just begging to be sewn into something useful!!

I will try to post some other ideas on how to keep cool this summer over the next few weeks.

YARD SALES!!!!

My daughter woke me up on Saturday and wanted me to go to yard sales with her. Even though I had only 3 hours of sleep , I got up to go with her and am glad that I did. These were the first ones that I had been to this season. It was pretty productive and VERY low prices compared to last year. Last year every yard sale I went to was priced like the owners thought the stuff was made of solid gold.
I got a tent for $2.00!! Which we are going to use this vacation to stay close to home and camp at the state park that is about 10 miles from our house. I am not sure what happened to our other tent that we had , but now we have a good one that is for 6 people. I also got a ton of fabric!! More sewing!!! Yippee!!! I got my little one some Tonka tractors and trucks. I got some clothes and a few books. Over all it was a really good time with my daughter and a good day!!

Oh I almost forgot , I got a really neat Pyrex dish that is inside a brass thing that has a lid! Under it is a holder for a candle. Really cool. I tried it out that night and put a can of pork and beans in it. Lit the candle and within a few minutes I had warm beans. GREAT!!
