Geri knows that I’m the queen of quick cleaning.  Who has a whole day to devote to housecleaning? I know I don’t, and I would guess that you probably don’t either. So any quick and easy tip to make the job less time consuming is for me! Here’s another “wipe-and-a-promise” cleaning tip.

For a quick, healthy, and easy breakfast or snack, either at work or at home, nothing beats those little packets of flavored instant oatmeal. But the high sugar content, artificial ingredients and cost sometimes turn me off to buying them. Instant oatmeal is pretty quick and easy to make yourself. And you can save a significant amount of money by making it yourself.

I quit buying bottled spaghetti sauce.  I’m eating foods with low sugar and healthy ingredients.  The less expensive sauce brands are loaded with sugar and unrecognizable ingredients.  The more organic, healthy ones are expensive.  So I make my own with this quick, inexpensive recipe.  It takes only minutes to make and saves money. And it has only healthy ingredients that I add myself.

This recipe is quick, easy and a sure hit!

Taco Soup

I love reading maps. I love collecting maps. And don’t you hate recycling those beautiful maps from the National Geographic Magazine?  Here’s a simple craft project that would make a perfect craft for a Scout troop or to give to Dad for Father’s Day.  They’d also make a cute bon voyage gift to give to your traveling friends as they hit the road in their RV.
