Taming After Christmas Clutter

After Christmas, the toys no longer fit in their bins and the clothes no longer fit in their drawers. It is time to tame that clutter. I was watching a fantastic segment on Oprah (Yeah, I never used to watch. Now, she’s leaving for OWN and there’s something I want to watch every day. Go [...]

Kids Snack Ideas – Cheesy Apple Quesadilla Recipe

We’re trying out a set of recipe ideas for healthy snacks and lunches. I have permission to post the recipes, so I”m going to share them with you all.

A Few Money Saving Articles and A Great Bunch of Homesteading Articles

I’ve written a few money saving articles in a few different spots recently. One of my favorites right now seems to be List My Five. It reminds me of eHow in the good ole days. Today, I finished Ways to Save Money at ShopRite and Ways to Save Money on Groceries. Since they are half [...]

Extreme Couponers on TLC’s Extreme Couponing Show

I watched Extreme Couponing on TLC last night and was pleasantly surprised to see that one of the couponers wasn’t extreme at all (Unless you consider picking up coupons on a daily walk and helping others learn to save money to be extreme.) and another had very sensible reasons for couponing based on her past [...]

Best Places to Eat in Port Deposit, Maryland

I wrote this article a few months ago and posted it on another site, but I thought my local readers here would enjoy it, too. It is a short review of several restaurants in the Port Deposit, Maryland area and has been updated a bit to reflect what is currently out there. I am sad [...]

Science Fun – The Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice 2010

While my kiddos were fast asleep in their snug little beds last night, I slipped out to check out the lunar eclipse. Boy, it was cold, but it was worth it. I wish I would have remembered to get out my tripod before they went to sleep. I didn’t think about the moon being in [...]

For families that love looking at beautiful historic architecture and learning a few history tidbits, a walk through the Federal Hill area is a great activity. You can use the free walking tour guide or just wander around looking for the medallions that let you know you’re passing a historical spot. If you want to [...]

Don’t Forget to Use Your Dehydrator In Winter Months

I just bought 6 packages of pears off the reduced rack in my local Mars grocery store. There were about 20 more packs on the rack, so I hope another pear lover happened along. Eighty five cents for a four pack of organic Bartlett pears is a great price around here. Now, what am I [...]

Visit the Historic Ships in Baltimore

We love the Historic Ships in Baltimore, especially The USS Constellation. So the Ship’s Crew family membership for $50 a year is a great deal for us. We could just go on the Powder Monkey tour on Saturday or Sunday afternoons at 1 pm or 3 pm a couple of times a year and feel [...]
