FRUGAL MAMA
Frugal Mama is about finding the fun in saving money, and keeping life simple so we have time for what really matters.FRUGAL MAMA
2 cups milk. 1 teaspoon dijon mustard. 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place half the bread cubes in a well-buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Top with half the cheese, half the bacon, and half the melted butter. Repeat layers and arrange mushrooms on top. Beat eggs, milk, mustard, and salt, and pour over the layered mixture. HOW TO PLAN, PURGE, AND PACK FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE 3. Agree on a no-pack zone. Designate a spot — like the bathtub — where you put anything you want with you, not on the moving truck. This could include suitcases packed with your overnight essentials, diversions for the car trip, your first-out-last-in box, pet supplies, and your move folder. THE ULTIMATE MOVING CHECKLIST FOR FAMILIES The Ultimate Moving Checklist for Families. This article is the last part in a series about moving: Part 1 | 14 Tips for Finding the Best Neighborhood. Part 2 | How to Find a Quality House to Rent. Part 3 | Find a Low-Cost Mover without Getting Scammed. Part 4 | 10 BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS TO GROW 1. Calendula. Also known as the poet’s marigold or pot marigold, calendula’s bright daisy-like flowers “smell like honey, slightly spicy and woody — reminiscent of fresh rhubarb or angelica flowers,” says Susan Belsinger for Mother Earth Living, “and their flavor is pleasantly mild and vegetable-sweet.”. Belsinger says thatthe
16 EDIBLE PLANTS THAT ARE THRIVING IN OUR FRONT YARD 11 – 15. Basil, Oregano, Flat-Leaf Parsley, Thyme and Rosemary. Fresh herbs have given big taste to our dinners. I grab handfuls of Italian parsley, oregano, and thyme, for example, and toss them in the skillet with some zucchini and tomatoes for a fresh pasta sauce. HOW TO MAKE LOLLIPOP TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS 2. Using the construction paper circle as a guide, cut a stack of multi-colored tissue paper in the same shape. We used seven different colors. 4. Poke the lollipop stick through the center of each layer of tissue paper, starting with the color you want closest the lollipop center and ending with the color you want next to the leaf. HOW TO MAKE A COUPON FAVOR BOOK TO GIVE TO THE KIDS Cut the cover into equal fourths by cutting along the folds. Either with a paper-cutter or with scissors. Now for the coupons themselves. Fold them in half and then half again, just like the cover, so you get 4 coupons per sheet. Cut them into four tickets by cutting along the folded lines, either with a paper-cutter or with scissors. HOW TO START A BABYSITTING CO-OP A babysitting co-op is a group of parents who agree to exchange babysitting time. Most co-ops work on some kind of point system: you earn points when you watch someone else’s kid, and you spend points when someone watches yours. Unlike a one-on-one babysitting swap, members are not obligated to make an even exchange with a particularmember.
INCREDIBLY SIMPLE RICOTTA CHEESE GNOCCHI THE WHOLE FAMILY 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour. 6 tablespoons butter. bunch of sage leaves (about 20) 1. Bring to boil a large pot of water with 2 teaspoons of salt. Combine the ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, and 1 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl (or food processor), along with some salt and pepper. Add more flour until the mixture forms a very sticky dough.FRUGAL MAMA

Dear friends and family and subscribers of Frugal Mama, About a year ago I wrote to tell you that I had started writing micro-memoirs on a new page called Painting with Words about the dramatic changes to my life due to the coronavirus outbreak.

O ur house has been alive for 99 years. We love its wood windows, alligatored paint, and creaking floorboards. However, a house doesn’t always age gracefully.
