When I was a young Mommy of 3 little boys, I got my hands on a Tightwad Gazette and it changed my life. I still have a few of the original newsletters - so charming and so old school.

Cleaning and organizing cupboards
With the onset of holiday cooking and baking coming up, I took advantage of another day home from work, to clean my pantry cupboard. Threw some expired things out - took a mental inventory of what I have. Today I plan to clean and organize my baking cupboard and spice cupboard. And clean out the refrigerator.
NEXT, it might be a good idea to clean the oven soon.
I didn't work at all this week which has its pros and cons. It was nice to be home, while I am not feeling so great myself ( laryngitis and scratchy throat) but then I don't get paid. The family I nanny for, are all sick. Each day, someone else would get sick. So I have agreed to work the next 3 weeks, all 5 days. I need the money!
