 We love chicken around here and I love making one chicken go as far as possible.
My favorite and super easy way to cook a whole chicken is in the crockpot. It’s so simple and so delicious. You throw the chicken in (breast side down), season and put on low for 6-8 hours. Really, what could [...]

 It’s been several years since we’ve lived in a house with a mantel and I’ve never really done a theme or seasonal decoration for the mantels we have had in the past.

I decided [...]

I have a solution for you!

 We paid off the remainder of our consumer debt (except for our house in Colorado) last February!! It is so liberating to not owe anyone any money!
We have also managed to save up an emergency fund and other general savings since then.

 Wow! It’s hard to believe I’ve been shampoo free for a year (14 months, actually)!
What started out as a frustrating endeavor has ended up working really well for me.
My basic routine has changed a little over the year, but I’ve been using my current routine for several months now and have wonderful results.
Every other day:

 Near the end of Michael’s recent deployment, the children and I spent a month with my family in Florida and I used my cloth diapers!
I took my entire stash of diapers and wipes (18 pockets and 4 fitteds with covers).
We drove from Colorado to Florida over a 3 day period (with a friend helping me [...]
