Time to get serious about my spending and tighten down the hatches. And maybe, just maybe, if I tell you all about this I will have to be more accountable for myself. First of all: DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ONLY HAVE 72 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS?!?! If that wasn’t enough to inspire panic in my (and possibly your) heart, I have another problem.

I am still wanting the Food Storage cookbook by Peggy Layton. Right now, I am working my way through 101 Things To Do With A Slow Cooker by Stephanie Ashcraft and Janet Eyring.
