There were so many great links last week; It is hard to choose just a few to feature.
I am in a clutter-free, clean out and simplify my life stage right now, so I guess I'll feature a few posts that reflect that.
(If I feature you, don't forget to grab an "I Was Featured" button to the right.):
I always feel guilty throwing out my kid's Valentine's, but hate the clutter, so I liked this idea by Someday Crafts:
Haas Home posted a tutorial on how to make homemade baby food. I used to do this for my kids and think it is a great way to save money and give your baby healthy food. At first it may not seem like you're simplifying your life, but once you get it made it sure makes life a lot easier.
I love this basement laundry room solution by Notes From the Heartland.
She took a cluttered looking mess of pipes and hid them with a bulletin board that she got for $1. I love simple and thrifty solutions like that!
Lots of stores will try to convience you that you need to spend a lot of money to get organized. They don't want you to know that all you need is an old cereal box. My Frugal Lifestyle posted a great tutorial on how to make this cute magazine organizer:
She also lists a ton of other things you can store in it like recipe books, printer paper, construction paper, coloring books, etc....
Scene of the Grime posted about cutting her families' hair. I think cutting hair is a great idea if your family will let you. Not only will you save tons of money, but you will save a lot of time. Not having to make an appointment for your kids, take them to the salon, wait, etc... will definitely simplify your life. Can you believe these are her boys?! I thought that maybe she stole this picture from some stock photography.
23rd Penny Pinching Party!

ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog today and saw the party you're hosting - I entered a cheap craft I did and I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for so if needs to get deleted I totally understand! Thanks for hosting!

I love the idea from lastweek for the bulletin board!!
My pipes look like that... once the basement gets painted this would be a wonderful solution!
