Its been a minute...

     Wow! It has been a while since I have blogged. I am seriously unmotivated. I think that comes from the fact that nothing is expected of me.  My customers (my family) seem to be okay if I take forever to do something or not do it at all. I don't think that I like that. I really think that they should expect something from me, tell me when they want it and expect me to deliver.  Maybe I should receive a consequence for not doing it. I try to set up my own expectations, but it is not the same since I can keep pushing back the due date...lol. This housewife thing has really turned me into a lazy ass procrastinator.
     With that being said, I found an awesome blog (http://www.littlehouseliving.com/) that has inspired me to be even more frugal by making my own "preserved" food from raw ingredients. This chick even makes her own graham crackers and cheese crackers... WHAT!  So I am compiling a list of things I spend money on every week and I am going to attempt to make them and come up with a schedule to make sure I have them on hand when needed or wanted. Some of these things will have to wait until the ingredients are in season and I hope I can grow them myself. I really need to get on the ball with this garden of mine. Spring will be here before I know it.
My list so far:
Ice Cream, Canned Tomatoes, Cheese Crackers, Bread (done!), buns, canned beans, salsa, tortilla chips and pickles.
