One Whole Chicken=Six meals

Here's a link up on how to get your money's worth out of a whole chicken. Six meals worth. Some include broth made from the chicken too! I started keeping my freezer stocked with broth last fall and I love it. Nothing better than the smell of a roasting chicken.

6 Meals from 1 Chicken.

Thanks Heavenly Homemakers!

I haven't blogged since November. Wow, and the profile is still pink from October. I've managed to lose 5 pounds, which is okay since it happened over the holidays. Might have been being sick for a month, and missing holiday parties altogether.

I haven't clipped coupons, or printed them, or loaded them to my Kroger card lately. This morning I will clip coupons and organize them before doing anything else not directly related to the little people who always want my help.

I don't try to do crazy New Year's Resolutions. I do try to learn new things and new ways. Here's my list.

1. Do better at doing daily devotionals with the littles.
   
2. Simplify. Use less, talk less, organize, donate crap I don't need. No clutter by 2012?
   
3. Be Intentional. (I saw this on many blogs...) It makes sense, if you add it to your every action.
   
4. Quit throwing chip and/or cheese on things just because my hubby does and it tastes good.
5. Spend more time outside. I tend to stay in too much, I like comfort, and lets face it I hate allergy issues, mud on my shoes, wind, bugs and the patch of ice that always gets me.
   
6. Do my homework in a more timely manner. It's hard to read college text. I love to read, even dry informative things, just not assigned reading.
   
7. Training of others; my dear family and myself. Ha! They will learn not to be intimidated by the washing of stoneware, cast-iron or other such things that cannot soak or go in the dishwasher, hand washing is not scary (unless your hands crack the minute they enter the sink). Close the bathroom door. Get garments to the proper place; laundry, hook, drawer, not floor. If it doesn't look like your bedroom, it's not a public space; remove your clutter (me too).
8. Share my savings, coupons and more in my blog!
9. Actually make my own yogurt and sourdough bread starter. Convince my husband that things that look like gross science experiments in jars have friendly bugs that help us digest and fight bigger bugs.
   

I think that's enough...for now.

I am not alone! Okay, I knew I wasn't but, I stumbled across the move "Motherhood", and thought about shutting it off when it became apparent that it was a day in the life of a stressed out mom. Who needs to watch this, I live it. It examines impossible party planning, cleaning, running errands, never enough money or time. She encounters street sweepers, long lines, wrong orders, judgmental people, and works up a sweat. And of course, an oblivious husband, who shuts off his phone (shutting her off) and takes walks when she really needs a hand. Watching her made me stressed for her, and pissed at husbands for her. Alas, as husbands often do...he is great to her in the end, selling a favorite rare book, to pay for daycare and a dishwasher, tadah! Of course she will continue to pick up his dirty socks.

To throw another crutch into it, she is losing herself. All she wants is a little time to write an article, in hopes of winning much needed money and a spot in the adult world as a columnist. Enter hubby again, he slashes her work with red pen edits. Time, for a mom, LOL! Time for mom=LOL. Time for a mom equals more work later if you achieve it.

Nobody can possibly realize what a mother goes through, except another mother. Thank you ladies for all your time, effort, love and sacrifice.

How I ordered a $49.99 digital kitchen scale for free.

I just ordered an Ozeri Touch II Professional Digital Kitchen Scale from Amazon. It was marked down to $25 from $49.99 the other day.

I used code 4APWT433 at checkout, and got $10 off, making it only $15.

I used 3 free $5 Amazon Gift cards I earned by using SWAGBUCKS as my search engine. I've made over $50 the past few months. I search everything now and find I can make about $5 in Amazon gift cards ~every 3 weeks.

I am also a member of Amazon Prime, so it was shipped free. I qualify because I am a Student and have a .edu email address. But you can qualify for free by being a Amazon Mom, just remember to quit before being billed. Online Christmas shopping with no shipping! I order ink and paper too with free shipping and save through price comparisons and not using gas driving to the store.
