I do have a 4x4 raised bed for growing vegetables. every season we like to visit the Arboretum at the local community college. We get to see fun arrangements and take plenty of pictures. We even took prom pictures there. Visiting state parks is another way we can get close to nature. I did splurge on a new hammock this year and grill, but those will be able to be enjoyed for years to come. we can grill zucchini just feet from where they are growing.

We live in Arkansas where there's an abundance of nature, state parks, city parks, and of course our own backyard to enjoy. I check the paper and websites for free things to do at our state parks...there's always something going on! The library has children's programs year-round, but my children are getting too big, and too busy for those. We love just having potluck with friends and family at our house or theirs. Instead of a day at the mall, my mom and I will go to local flea markets and thrift stores. Sometimes we find lots of bargains, and sometimes not. We always have fun!

I use "personal cloths" for t.p unless its messy. I made my own period pads and it may sound gross, no where near what it was like with cloth diapers! At least its my mess, not theirs. I reuse and recycle everthing I can, if I cant, I recycle. I live alone, so I break down the bulk meat I buy. I save my toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls...its not much, for seedlinglings for next years garden. I make my own cleaners...thank you Lord for baking soda and vinegar! I spend about 600.00 a month for my home and expensences including cleaners and dog food, I have 2 big and hungry dogs. If I could better, I would. Solar is something I am considering, Im not sure I can afford it though. I learned alot from my Nana who died in 1984. If it wasn't for her, I would be lost!
