<div align="center">
<br />
<br />
Well it’s Summer Time and school is out! Now What? Got Milk?<br />
Yes, we have been working on our living green budget all year! So, are we there yet?<br />
<br />
Not yet! Ya think! How about you? If you are like us, keep working on it through the summer. Do not give up or give in and go on that fancy vacation. You might feel like I do and say, “we have been saving all winter, we deserve it”, “The kids are driving me crazy we need to go to the beach or vacation”! Wrong!!!! They will only wine more and want more stuff! And you will be tempted to want stuff too! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So, here is what I suggest! Have a stay home vacation and try some of our family top ten green living tips!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rx3Y7vJAg-4/TCqYtpcIuVI/AAAAAAAAAA8/9cKrbH8mX1s/s1600/bike.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488367005889771858" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rx3Y7vJAg-4/TCqYtpcIuVI/AAAAAAAAAA8/9cKrbH8mX1s/s320/bike.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 214px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> </div>
1- Bag it up: We bring our bags to the grocery store and guess what? We get .05 back on our bill for each bag! Get paid to grocery shop!<br />
<br />2- Ride your bike: We are ridding our bike to the grocery store, library, trails, and to work! <br />
<br />3- Smile: Yes, when you smile at someone they feel good! It is free try it! I was in the grocery store and a stranger smiled at me and I felt 10 times better as I shopped. And while I was waiting in line, I smiled at the person in front of me! It is a great thing to pass along.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488368641441149634" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rx3Y7vJAg-4/TCqaM2V-MsI/AAAAAAAAABE/DwtMlrgc93g/s320/radio+flyer.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 213px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /><br />
<br />4- Build an herb garden: This summer my old red wagon looked very rusted out! So, I filled it with potting soil and planted some herbs! I will show you are progress soon! Find something you can repurpose and fill it up with herbs. <br />
<br />5- Repurpose it: Each summer we have a family garage sale (ours is on July 17, and 18 this year) everything that we do not sell, we donate to our local thrift store.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488372416124075810" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rx3Y7vJAg-4/TCqdokIgvyI/AAAAAAAAABk/mg5jrZa3cJE/s320/recycle+crafts.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 213px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /> <br />
<br />6- Craft it up: Instead of throwing away those old socks, wine corks and other plastic things? Create a recycle art center in your home! Ours is in our mud/laundry room! It comes in handy in the summer! Mom I’m board! Really? Then go to the mud room and craft it up! I will be posting our fun summer creative crafts for you so you can try some of ours! Can you guess what we will be making with sock tops? <br />
<br />7- Melt your Crayons: Take all of the old crayons and melt them in combination colors (Blue, Green, Purple, and Gold) or (Red, Pink, and Yellow. ) Be creative! Put broken crayons in any crazy color range idea and put them in muffin tins or fun shaped tins and melt them in your oven on low heat! Remember to spray cooking oil so they do not stick! Cool them off and pop them out! Bounus: If you are having a birthday party or any type of kid summer party, you could give them out us “goodie bag gifts”. <br />
<br />

<br />8- Compost it: We bought a simple plastic trash can and filled it with potting soil and mixed it up with our greens, coffee grounds, egg shells and grass clippings! Next year we will have some great compost! <br />
<br />9- Recycle everything: We have a paper bin, plastic bin, glass bin and tin can bin. We bring all of these to our local recycling and yard waste center quarterly!<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488371826213918066" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rx3Y7vJAg-4/TCqdGOi-FXI/AAAAAAAAABU/2AuDmKyptJk/s320/checkers.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 214px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /><br />
<br />10- Unplug this summer: Turn off the TV and the Computers! Play board games instead! Your kids will have fun and might even learn to enjoy their parents and communicate with you via face to face rather on face book! Imagine that! <br />
Here are some other links to cool sites that have great ideas on green living! Enjoy! ; )<br /><br /><br /><br />Martha Stewart<br />

Living green and trying to keep the budget on track is not that simple. And keeping all your eggs in one basket is not a good idea.<br />
<br />
We made an on-line purchase with our debit /visa card(which is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">attached</span> to our only bank account). And within minutes someone had cleared our account.<br />
<br />
It took 14 days for our bank to re-fund our money. What a nightmare. An emergency cash fund can come in handy when this happens.<br />
<br />
Here is what we did to keep our eggs safe for our future:<br />
<br />
Open an account just for On-Line Bill Pay: <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">mortgage</span>/bills/deposits. A second account(not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">attacted</span>) for groceries, gas, entertainment. And a third account for on-line <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">purchases</span> that are tied to pay pal only. Pay pal is safe: you <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">receive</span> an email for all transactions before it can be approved!<br />
<br />
Here is the tip: Only have checks for the first account. Only have a debit card for the second account for (groceries, gas and entertainment).<br />
<br />
Here is the key to success: Put the amount of money in each that matches your budget. Have an emergency fund on hand that equals the second account balance so you can be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">prepared</span>. Do not use the debit/visa card for any on-line purchases. When you want to buy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">something</span> on line, transfer the funds from your second account to your third account for only the amount that you need to purchase the item. Pay pal purchases are not tied to your bank so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">thieves</span> can not access your money from your bank.<br />
<br />
Yes, I know we cannot stop <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">thieves</span> from trying to get into our account <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">completely</span>, but, I learned how important it is to diversify your checking accounts. And <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">bonus</span> you can manage your budget a bit better.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to a more g<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">reen</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">spring</span> ahead!<br />
<br />
Grow your budget <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">wisely</span> each month with a little bit of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">knowledge</span> from a friend.<br />

Building a living green savings from no budget!<br /><br />Long week...for me! I had no idea what was facing me ahead. I think this is the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">biggest</span> problem in taking a look at our finances. We forget to plan for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">obstacles</span> that await us each week, month and year. Need to do that!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ok,</span> families get out the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">calender</span> and mark it up! Which months can we see that our living, gas(driving around) and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">holiday</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">fun</span> will cost us more money?<br /><br />I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">suppose</span> that is what the emergency and short term fund is for. May be? But, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">really</span> some of the money <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">grabbing</span> things, let's face it, do not fall in any of these <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">categories</span>. This is going to be harder than I thought.<br /><br />I will need all the help I can get. So, I bought the Real Simple <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Magazine</span>: featured articles on how to save on (nearly) everything. P.S. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Magazine</span> cost $4.99! Well, next time..... the Library.<br /><br />Love the articles. Mostly stuff on things I know how to do, but, I don't because life is moving so fast and we are so focused on meeting the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">immediate</span> needs, wants and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">societies</span> flashing neon signs.....buy me now!<br /><br />Here is one tip I tried. Planned the budget for the month for our family of four. Created <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">recipes</span> for the week. Brought the coupon's. Made the list for the grocery store. And here is what I did for fun for under $10. I bought cake....yes, a big Fred Myers chocolate cake! This was our mid=week treat, entertainment and fun!!!! By the way the boys loved it. What a fun idea for the the mid week meal. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">AHHHHH</span> Bliss for a day.<br /><br />So, what can you do if you cannot <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">afford</span> the stuff? Mom, I have a birthday party to go to? Here's the pictures for the swim team....need $17, Hey, we need everyone to bring $5 for the going away present for Fred? And last but not least...... can we get pizza tonight it's Friday?<br /><br />My solution: Just say .... NO, NO, NO, and NO........" let's just eat Cake"<br /><br />What can you do to off set those costs? Make a card, sew a gift, car pool? Start to think of ways you can save!<br /><br />This weeks savings: $50.........................I am on my way to freedom!Tanja D'lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15675082283945915892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318363896919835359.post-855398670284567412010-01-10T17:29:00.000-08:002016-08-31T14:30:25.518-07:00Living green means investing in me and you!Here it is the new year! I will take a closer look at my budget, read more living green ways to save and start investing in me....and ....the kids.......and you can too!<br />
<br />
These economic times call for living green investing. So, I will kick off the year and post each week on ways to save, budget, sew cool stuff (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">re purpose</span> & <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">re gift</span>) post more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">recipes</span> from the fridge and find ways to invest in our family savings.<br />
<br />
Oh....what savings! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Yikes</span>! Need one of those. So, I started off reading yesterday's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">msn</span>.com budget article, that stated that I should be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">budgeting</span> 40% of my income for: Short term, Long term, Emergency fund and retirement. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Yikes</span>!!!!! Don't have those yet either.<br />
<br />
Were to start! Well if I did that I would not have enough for the mortgage. Well and there is food, bills and kids.....do not get me started on those costs.<br />
<br />
Well, what to do then. Here is a start for now.....week one for me!<br />
<br />
I will f<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">innish</span> this month by sticking to the idea that next month, I will have a 10% budget for the above saving ideas. Let's just see how this goes! Oh and now would be a great time for me to live green and think of ways to save on other things. Hmmmm!<br />
<br />
So, what do you do if you do not have a budget to budget?Tanja D'lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15675082283945915892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318363896919835359.post-63523183068303678082009-11-21T21:48:00.000-08:002016-08-31T14:22:24.626-07:00That's A Wrap!The boys are always hungery! This week especialy since they are all in sports mode.<br /><br />So, protien will need to be part of the ingredients, for sure.<br /><br />Ok... so I have Chicken Breasts. I found left over white rice.<br /><br />I added a can of black beans. Found a half package of fresh spinach.<br /><br />Yes, there is some cheese (grated that).<br /><br />Tortillas! Yes lots of those left.<br /><br />All righty..... I see the makings for the chicken wraps.<br /><br />I cut up the chicken into slices and put them on a cookie sheet. Added olive oil and spiced it up with garlic, salt and pepper. Baked for 30 minutes on 400. Crispy!<br /><br />Warmed up the tortillas, rice and beans and wraped them all up!<br /><br />Now, this one was eaten up in seconds!

Tortia Chips: Toped with Left -over’s or Meat and vegetables!<br />
<br />
Top with Your favorite Meat (ground turkey, beef, shredded chicken, pork or beef) We had left over Chili!<br />

Ya we all are jumping right in on that!<br /><br />It is a little harder than we thought. Here is a few that we started in our house, composting.....recycling ....and creating cleaver recipes from what we have in the refrigerator{Pasta “whatever is in the fridge-a”}!<br /><br />So, to kick off this living green idea....I am sharing recipes from the fridge. Please, join me and share yours too! We are saving green (money) and living green in our home!<br /><br />Pasta “whatever is in the fridge-a” }<br />1-12 oz can of whole tomatoes (or any jar of spaghetti sauce), any vegetable you have in the fridge: left-overs are fine. We had left over broccoli. Add spice: garlic, olive oil, oregano or basil, salt & pepper to taste, meat lovers: add ½ pound burger meat, ground turkey or chicken. Boil noodles of choice: We had penne pasta. The idea is to use what you have and not throw it away! I made a quick salad and had some bread that we warmed up! Wednesday night dinner savings!<br /><br />Goal: To use all food in the fridge and stop food waste. Let’s share the recipes and save money!Tanja D'lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15675082283945915892noreply@blogger.com0
