I desperately want a new camera. The one I now have is a $60 point and shoot which does okay, but I want a camera with more abilities. My hubby asked me to go and have our truck detailed before we go on vacation. I got a few estimates and the average was around $150. I told my hubby he could hire me and put a portion of that money… more

Peach season is in full swing here in Maryland and I love it. Maryland has some of the best peaches I ever tasted. The peaches are large and oh, so sweet and perfect for homemade ice cream and other wonderful treats. I am busy canning peaches, and I figured why not make my family some no sugar peach ice cream. It was simple to do, and the end result was fabulous. Ingredients:… more
The Best Bathroom Homemade Cleaner Scum Remover
| July 15, 2012 | Posted by Amee under How To . . . |
With my family having been sick, my hubby on multiple business trips, and the three little ones under foot, the cleanliness of my house got away from me. My bathrooms were in dire need of a good cleaning, and I repeatedly saw pins on Pinterest and crunchy friends talk about how to use Dawn blue dish soap and vinegar as cleaners. I am shocked and excited at how well it… more
Low Sugar Plum Jam and Canned Plums Recipes

Where my husband works there are eight plum trees that bear lots of fruit, but usually no one picks the plums and they fall to the ground for the deer and bugs to eat. My hubby and I loaded up the kids early one Saturday morning with baskets and a step ladder in hand to go and forage some of these sweet baby plums. When we arrived the branches… more

Teach Your Child How To Swim at Home
| July 5, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Kid's Corner |
I grew up taking swimming lessons practically every summer as a small child. Now that I have children, learning to swim is a must for them also. My husband and I are on a tight budget, and the distance to drive 30+ minutes one-way makes formal swimming lessons not feasible for our children. Learning to swim is important because we have a seasonal pool. I want my children to feel… more

Thai Inspired Ginger Coconut Seafood Curry My husband and I love Thai food, but where we live finding a good Thai restaurant is next to impossible. Luckily for me my hubby loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen. A few months ago he brought home some imitation crab meat and whipped up this fabulous seafood curry. Our kids even ate it and loved every bit of it too. Hope… more
