Silly Dinner Night – Free Fun Friday
We’ve recently started a tradition in our family of a once a month silly dinner night. It got started because the kids were so tired of being told to mind their table manners, so we declared one night a month to be freer (not completely free) than usual from the usual table manners rules.
It has [...]
Are You Teaching Good Eating Habits?
It’s not easy to get some kids to eat right.
Come to think of it, it’s not easy to get some parents to eat right. We’re the ones who start it a lot of the time, aren’t we?
When you’re at home with the kids all day there’s a lot of pressure to feed them right. You [...]
Have You Taken Charge of Your Family's Nutrition?
I came across a very interesting article by Marguerite Manteau-Rao about what families spend their money on at the grocery store. The data came from Nielsen Research, and if you’ve ever looked inside other people’s shopping carts (and quite likely your own), you probably won’t be surprised.

Bake Bread – Free Fun Friday
This is something my kids love to do. Mostly we just use the bread machine, as kneading bread dough is a lot of work, but the final shaping is done by hand because I don’t like the shape of loaf that my machine makes.
To me this is somewhat better than free, once you have a [...]
Saving Money By Buying Whole Chicken
We’re still on a really tight budget here. There’s just so much to recover from after my husband was out of work for so long. I don’t exactly trust to the stability of his new job either, as it’s in the travel industry. Not exactly prime for this kind of economy.
One thing I do right [...]
Cook Together – Free Fun Friday
A little time cooking can be a great activity for parents to do with kids. You just keep the kids’ parts age appropriate, and of course make it fun. Although some kids do enjoy helping make dinner on a regular basis.
Cookies are the classic choice. If you don’t have a favorite recipe, one of the [...]
Easy Cold Treats
The weather is hot, and so the kids are always asking for something cold to snack on. And of course if I want them to go outside, I’d better be ready to cool them off during or after. Otherwise they won’t give me any peace to do anything else.
Not to mention how miserable they get. [...]
Should You Be Worried About the Food Supply?
If you listen much to the news right now, you’ve probably heard some stories about various Costco and Sam’s Club locations rationing rice, flour or oil purchases. You may have also heard about how bad the food situation is in many countries that are poorer than the United States. It’s getting rough out there. Some [...]
How to Control Your Food Budget as Prices Increase
Food prices have been hit hard by inflation of late, with the worst increases in about 20 years. Meat, milk, bread, eggs, produce all cost more than they used to. It’s getting harder and harder to feed a family healthy meals.
Fortunately, it’s not necessarily impossible, merely more challenging.
One of the simplest things you can do [...]
