A Recommendation

This is a totally unsolicited, unpaid review.

Have you seen the reusable storage bags for sale that are supposed to keep your produce fresh longer? They are Debbie Meyer green bags and they run around $10 (for 20 bags) where I live. I had wondered for quite a while if they worked and how well. I finally took the plunge and bought some. Cornbread is very finicky but he will polish off a banana as will LadyBug so I was having trouble purchasing enough bananas for the week. We would either run out or they would go bad.

I decided to give these bags a try and I am so glad I did! They work very well on the bananas. You just need to be careful to reclose them and fold the bag under each time as the directions specify. Also, if you happen to remove one and return it later, expect it to quickly ripen.

We have also used them on fresh okra and fresh peppers. The bags have been excellent at keeping the produce from ripening and spoiling too quickly. So if you keep a lot of fruits and veggies around and you have wondered about these bags, stop wondering and get some. I think you will find them to be a big help in the kitchen! :)

    Yes, I have been using them for a little over a week or so and have been pleasantly surprised. With normal opening and closing I don't know that the results exactly match those that are claimed but it is definitely an improvement. :)

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
