Homemade Pizza Sauce

Bacon In My Pocket: Saucy!

Found this , on Pinterest , of course. I now cannot wait until my tomato plants start producing.

I am going to make up a bunch of homemade spaghetti sauce also.

Yard Sales & Homeschooling!

It is my favorite time of the year! Finally - it is starting to get busy around my small town with the lovely sight of yard sales! I love going to them to find camping gear, kitchen ware, survival gear, & tools. But another thing that I have been finding the last few weeks at the yard sales is Homeschool items. Well, not really specifically made for homeschool stuff, but I have been finding textbooks, flashcards, paper, craft items, learning toys, etc. Great way to homeschool on the cheap. Frugal homeschooling is the best.

I also use it as a learning tool for my Little Man - He has learned a lot about counting money going to yard sales. I give him $5.00 and then he can figure up how much things are and how much he has or has left. Fun way to teach money skills, budgeting, counting of money, etc.

Crayon Candle

...and chaos ensued: Crayon Candle

I am going to be able to make a few of these! We have a lot of broken crayons in our house. Plus I found this just in time - I am out of actual candle wax and have about 80 wicks left!! YAY!!  

Plus I always save all of my glass jars that I get from anything, like pickles, spaghetti sauce, etc! Great way to reuse items and get something out of it that is useful.

Camping Essentials: Camping Basics, Importance of Camping, Camping Gear That is Needed And How To Set Up Camp

Camping Essentials: Camping Basics, Importance of Camping, Camping Gear That is Needed And How To Set Up Camp was a free book for the Kindle (or free Kindle reading app) when I wrote this post.

Camping Essentials

Are you looking for something to do with your family this summer? Maybe you've been planning to take a trip but the economy makes it difficult. Or maybe you've been debating about going somewhere but you don't know what to do. Well one of your options is camping and it's something that everyone in your family can enjoy. Whether you spend only a little money and stay in a tent or you spend a lot and buy an RV, you'll be able to go out and have a lot of fun.
This is also something that you can do all the time and not just once in a while. Because it's so cheap and there are so many different places to go you'll be able to explore the entire country without having to spend a lot of money. Instead of going to a resort or a hotel this year go camping and spend more time with your family.
