In the Kitchen With Molly
 Need a hand in the kitchen? Molly can help. From planning meals to putting them on the table, feeding a family is a big job. In the Kitchen With Molly is the next best thing to having a personal chef. This new E-Book contains 12 weeks of menu plans, one for each month of the year, plus shopping lists and printable recipe cards. With the planning done for you, you'll have more time to spend enjoying your family or tackling other projects that need your attention. And with Molly, the focus is always on frugality. These recipes not only save you time, but they also save you money. Trimming dollars from the grocery bill can add up to a significant difference in the family budget, and having meals planned means you'll eat out less often. That's good for your wallet and your waistline.

Depending on where you live, it may feel like spring is never going to arrive. But it really is just around the corner! Once the sun comes out, I find it hard to get anything done indoors. I would much rather be outside in the garden or at the park with my family! So, this is the perfect time of year to get your spring cleaning done and out of the way.
In this week's newsletter, I'm going to share some tips and tools to make spring cleaning a breeze.

Spring Cleaning Tips and Tools
I just love how fresh and new my home feels after doing a great spring cleaning job. This is a good time to get organized, get rid of things you don't use, and clean those hard-to-reach places. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies, it's a good idea to do this more than once a year. Here are a few tips and tools to make the process a little easier:

Lost Socks?
Do you find that your family's socks disappear every time you do a load of laundry? My mom used to call it the sock monster. I'll admit, my sock drawer has a messy little corner with all my mismatched socks, just waiting to find their mate.
Here is a simple, but effective idea to get those unmatched socks out of your drawers. Make this Lost Socks Board and hang it in your laundry room. Once a month or so, remove all the unmatched socks from your board. Instead of throwing them out, you could use them to keep your hands clean while doing light gardening, put over your hands to dust off shelves, or make a frugal cat toy by filling them with batting and catnip! |
