Amish Cabinets in S.E. Wisconsin
Someone on here was looking for Amish Cabinet makers in SE Wisconsin and now I cannot find that thread to see who it was that was inquiring. I came across a couple of different Mennonite cabinet makers around the Brodhead/Monroe area. I am hoping the person that was looking will see this thread!
There are some Amish out of Albany. Detweiler is their name, they have a website. Can't attest to their quality...they were at the Madison remodeling show last year.
Here is a link that might be useful: Detweiler Furniture
Yes, we went to Detweiler's on Atkinson Road in Albany. They have a display there and their cabinets are very nice. They are actually made in Napanee Indiana and delivered here.
There is also another cabinet maker by the name of Horst, on route 231. I think it is 231 anyway. Will have to check that out with DH. His cabinets are made on site. He originally is from Pennsylvania and has been in the cabinet business for many years.
I have no idea on pricing though. Our laundry room cabinets were made in southern Illinois and were quite reasonable.
I used Miller Cabinet Company in Markesan, WI. They do not have a website or even a phone. They did a fabulous job on my cabinets. I would highly recommend them. Pricing was considerably less than big box and semi custom prices with superior quality. For those that have not already seen my previous posts here is picture of the cabinets they made for me.

DEFINITION of 'Waterfall Concept'
A life insurance plan that provides a tax benefit in regards to intergenerational transfers of wealth. The concept occurs when a tax-exempt insurance policy is rolled over to a child or a grandchild. The origin of this term is derived from the fact that this insurance plan is similar to waterfalls in that it only flows downwards.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Waterfall Concept'
The tax benefit occurs when the initial insurance policy is rolled over to the child or grandchild. After the transfer there are no more tax breaks, and so any funds that are withdrawn from the policy are subject to normal tax liability. However, clients can implement different variations on the waterfall concept to meet different objectives.

those unfinished craft store ornaments?
.....the unglazed clay ones that most people just paint? What kind of clay are they? If I wanted to buy some glaze to paint them, then get them fired, how do I choose what glazes to buy? I bought about 20 last year after christmas for less than .25 each
They are 'probably' a low fire earthenware. 'Usually,' but not necessarily all, inexpensive bisque from ceramic stores is low fire.
I would test one with some low fire glazes and see how it turns out. Or if you have a borken one, you could test fire that.
Before you do all the work, I suggest you ask if a kiln owner will even fire them. I have never fired those, but have heard people talking - saying they might damage the kiln. I wonder if anyone out there has fired the Walmart type stuff? Anyone out there???
I don't think you fire the Walmart type stuff. I think you can just use those new paints and bake in the oven. I just pulled out some things we poured and fired at a ceramicclass back in the 70's. I still have to finish my sister's bisque snowman punch bowl and her Christmas village. I wonder if I'll ever get around to it. 3 years ago I had the inside of the punchbowl and inside of the cups glazed and fired at the senior center. Artsy, you might check in your town to see if they have a kiln at a Senior Center. They might do it for you.

You would think it wouldn't be too much to ask for the people who serve in government or who presume to influence our public policy to have a clue about what the Constitution means.
On that subject, the Washington Post syndicate is featuring a column by "progressive†Paul Begala, once a Clinton health care advisor and now a part-time professor at Georgetown.Â
The gist of the column is that if it isn't politically possible for the feds to completely take over health care now, they should at least grab as much of it as they can.
On the Constitution, Begala writes:
"The Founders gave us a standard: 'a more perfect Union' It's an odd phrase; we don't generally speak of something becoming 'more perfect.' I believe it means that we have a duty, every generation, to make progress.â€
As students of the Constitution know, in eighteenth-century English, the word "perfect†usually meant "complete.â€Â The Framers were stating in the Constitution's Preamble that the new union was to be more complete than the union had been under the Articles of Confederation.
Free government requires that policy makers understand the basic law under which they operate.
Begala's column is but one example of a disturbing tendency among policy-makers and intellectuals to dodge the work it takes to understand our basic law, and speculate instead.

LONDON (AP) — Olivier Giroud scored in the first half to give Arsenal a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Sunday, although the Baggies still finished the day virtually assured of staying in the top flight.
Giroud header gives Arsenal 1-0 win over West Brom
Giroud headed home at the near post in the 14th minute, getting in front of Craig Dawson and shrugging off the defender's attempts to hold him back as Santi Cazorla delivered a corner. It was the striker's 22nd goal in all competitions this season.
Arsenal controlled the game from there, getting into a quick passing rhythm and dominating possession, although it struggled to create serious scoring chances.
West Brom resorted to long-range efforts, with midfielder James Morrison launching a 40-yard shot after spotting Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny off his line in the first half, but the ball went well wide. Graham Dorrans' shot from about 20 yards came closer, forcing a reaction save from Szczesny in the 32nd.
For Arsenal, the match held little significance because the club had already secured at least a fourth-place finish and a 17th consecutive season of Champions League football after Everton's loss to Manchester City on Saturday. In the last home game of the season, it felt like the home crowd was already looking forward to the summer, batting around a beach ball in the first half.
"We played well," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "They had a few chances as well. We wanted to finish with a win and we did it. Maybe it was a bit subdued because we knew beforehand we would remain in the top four."
Despite the loss, West Brom can start planning for another season in the Premier League after Norwich only drew 0-0 at Chelsea. That leaves West Brom three points ahead of the 18th-place Canaries with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference, with Norwich only having one more game to play — against Arsenal. Cardiff and Fulham have already been relegated to the League Championship for next season.

The wife and I had tickets to see Jason Aldean over at Bridgestone Arena, and an early pre-concert dinner seemed like a great idea. Puckett's was only a short walk from Bridgestone, and with several enticing barbecue options on their menu, how could I resist?
Puckett's has a really lively atmosphere, but I suppose that's par for the course in downtown Nashville. It has a much more relaxed feel than a lot of the other restaurants on Broadway though. Too bad we were a few hours too early for the live music, which occurs nightly at Puckett's. The music is part of what makes this place popular, so reservations are a must for dinner, even on a weekday.
We had skipped lunch in preparation for our 4:30pm dinner, so my stomach was already rumbling. An appetizer was definitely in order. We decided to try the Fried Pickles. Yum! The pickles were thinly sliced, making them more like chips. My wife thought they were a touch too salty, but it didn't bother me. Their fried pickles come served with some sort of chipotle-bacon ranch dressing. The ranch was an awesome compliment to the pickles, though the mild flavor left me wondering where all of the chipotle went.
I had originally planned on getting some of the dry-rubbed, cherry wood-smoked ribs, but at the last minute I decided they might be too messy. After all, I didn't want to spend the whole concert covered in rib juice. The menu says that the "Puckett's BBQ Platter" comes with your choice of pulled pork or chicken. Fortunately, our waiter told me that not only could I get beef brisket on the platter, I could also make it a two-meat combo. Done and done. I ordered a duo of brisket and pulled pork. The platter also comes with sweet potato fries, baked beans, and coleslaw, but I substituted potato salad for the slaw.
The fries tasted fresh and homemade. They had a great sweet flavor, which was even better when dipped in the leftover ranch from our fried pickles. Puckett's beans were somewhat spicy and only slightly sweet. The potato salad was full of big skin-on potatoes, giving it more of a German potato salad quality. It had a nice flavor from the pickles, and the low mayo content let the veggies shine.
I've been trying to acclimate myself to pulled pork ever since moving to Tennessee last summer. It's been a hard row to hoe. My affinity for beef aside, Puckett's pulled pork was nice and tender, with only a moderate amount of smoke. Although, I eventually found some nice pink pieces which had soaked up more smoke than others. The meat also had a nice seasoning blend mixed throughout.
Even though the brisket came out chopped, at least it was chopped into large pieces. And to be fair, I think they usually only serve brisket on sandwiches, so I can't really complain in light of my special menu request. The brisket had more smoke than the pork. It was also decently tender, especially the fattier bits. There was a commendable amount of flavor considering that the seasoned bark had all been trimmed away.
The dessert menu includes something called a Deep Fried Brownie Sundae. Apparently this dessert took home the blue ribbon at the Southern Fried Festival. As full as we were, there was no way we could resist such obvious deliciousness. When it came out, my first thought was "Holy crap it has bacon on top!!!" This thing was absolutely incredible. With its state fair-style crispiness, the deep-fried brownie was even better than I imagined it would be. The salty bacon was great with the chocolate, and I really liked the crunchy pecans, too. Not even a crumb was left by the time we were done.
I'm really glad we gave Puckett's a try, and I'll definitely be back.

The Barbecue Fiend
The food is great! I recently went there and the food is keeping me coming back regularly so far altho the price is a little high. But I must say the service is slow. The waitresses are slow, the kitchen is slow, and the bartender is slow to cash you out. Otrherwise I wouldve given them a 5 instead of 4. I could work circles around those waitresses
Great pizza and beer selection. It is a bit pricey, but worth the money in the end.
Living in Nashville since January 2012, it's sad to say that this is (a chain restaurant) has the best Pizza in town; that I've found. Consistent quality, service varies day to day; but you always get good pizza.
One of my favs. Love spending a nice afternoon here or going here late night with my besties!
The service was okay, but friendly, and the food was great. A great atmosphere, whether it is for a casual date or just going out to eat with friends.
We love the food and atmosphere. Not what I'd call tradtional cajun, but really good. Just don't go during rush hour. We LOVE their Chargrilled Oysters. They just need to serve bread on the side without charging extra.
Fantastic food! Best Veggie burger in town. We have them cater at least one tailgate each year. We feed 15 people for less than 100 bucks and there is food left over. Best red beans and rice i have ever had. Food is great. Beer only is the only negative.
I visit Rumours on a regular basis. The food choices are are limited but fresh and delicious. The cheese plate and hummus are generous and I typically request extra crackers and bread. The wine can be expensive but Rumours does run specials so ask your server. The service is good (prompt and friendly). I love to sit on the patio on nice evenings. Rumours is great for a girls night or date night.
Mellow's crust is out of this world. Get the Kosmic Karma, it's increíble. The service overall is pretty good, except last time I went there was this new hostess (the one with blond hair, short, young, with ear gauges)...she was extremely unfriendly and made my party and me feel like we were very un-welcomed. But overall it's great food and service, just that one girl was really off...the only reason I'm not rating it 5 stars
While they did "clean up" the Gold Rush, they also cleaned out much of the essence that made it the greatest bar in Nashville. It could use a bit more warmth...too many tall tables and stools were put in during renovation. Having a few boothes in the front room would help the atmosphere greatly. It has to potential to be great once again, but as it stands I visit out of nostalgia and because it was my home away from home for many years. This bar could really be great again, I still give it a decent rating out of loyalty, but they should try to cater to their old clientele if they want to become truly successful again.
Always ejoy myself at BB Kings.
I have been there a few Times and I liked it... Pizza was awesome... Im guessing "MiaM" seeing you posted 3 comments in a row early in the morning probably got fired from there or kicked out for good reason....How did you order Chicken when they refused service? Anyways I'll go back for the pizza...when I get over to the greenhills area
I've had the pasta and burgers here, and they're both really good. The atmosphere is pretty nice and laid back - definitely more towards a younger college-aged crowd. You can sometimes feel a little unwelcome from some of the patrons if you don't fit into the normal customer group, but I've never felt that from the service. It's a good place if you're really hungry at night because it is open 24 hours, but the area is a little scary if you have to park too far from the restaurant.
The best steak I have eaten in Nashville. Everything was wonderful down to the iced tea.. The waiter forgot to put in our appetizer order but other than that my experience here was worth the money. The staff is very knowledgeable about steak and can offer advice if needed. I will definitely go back to this restaurant.
This is a casual neighborhood type of rerstaurant with very good food. They have something for everyone from sandwiches to full course meals.
I passed through there back in the summer and got about what I was expecting...not much. BUT, I went by last week and saw a huge smoker fired up out back that smelld divine. I perceived to go by there after I finished my route that day and am glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. The new guy could answer any question I had about any of the food and let me even try some he had just finished. He said he'll have a new menu by the 1st. He put's his "stamp" on everything that comes out of there. Oh yea, did I mention...It's award winning BBQ. This might just be one of those little "best kept secrets". I'm going back...You might want to consider it too!!! W

Today was our first visit to South Street. We were craving one of our favorite meals; raw oysters and beer. Acme in New Orleans and Goatfeathers in South Walton were out of the question. The service at South Street was well above average. David, our waiter, had good suggestions, and seemed to show up at just the right time. The oysters were delecious. We had three dozen, and would rate them close to any we've had anywhere. Our rating is only 4 because this was our first visit to South Street; if our next visit is as enjoyable, it'll be a solid 5.

shading a roof
so here's an idea
i have a small house with asphalt shingles and a ridge roof. what i want to do is built planters that i can set on the ridge, tie them into the roof and run a drip system up there to take care of the watering and fertilizing.
im thinking dune sunflower or passion vine since both do extremely well in here. have them grow from the planters and come down on the roof pretty much giving me shade and savings all day long. cut them back when the cold season starts and collect some of the winter heat.
so here a some things i'm wondering about. even if these plants wont grow roots inbetween the shingles can the wind make them wear the roof out?
If they are heavy enough to put a little weight on it, but at the same time able to blow around in the wind, then yes, they are going to put some wear and tear on the shingles. It may not be noticeable right away. Even when you just walk over the roof, those little pieces of gravel are dislodged.
However, green roofs are a great idea and worth pursuing. You might consider some kind of wire trellis or net that can hold the plants up off the shingles. If it's not too heavy duty it could stay there all year and the sun would still hit the roof in winter after the plants are pulled off.

Cut out the pant leg from the knee down, or as long as you'd like, of an old pair of blue jeans.
Turn right sides together and sew the bottom leg together. Turn the top edge down 1 inch and sew along bottom edge. Leave 1 inch opening for your casing. (see this drawstring bag project for help)

I think I will take my name off your list because I really don't want the political information when I am looking for ideas for my classroom. If you are taking money form them you don't need me
I did something like this years ago, but put elastic at top and bottom. Use it to hold plastic bags
I like this idea but I wouldn't turn the jeans inside-out for the seam at the hem. I'd stitch the leg shut following over the existing top-stitching. I'd also repurpose at least one of the hip pockets so there's a place to put things you need quick access to on the outside and stitch one to the inside for quick access items that you want to carry more securely.
Oh my gosh, this is great! When my son started school this year( freshman),he began with a nylon sting tied book bag, that did not last long at all. I can't wait to make him one like this, and out of his jeans! LOL, Thanks so much! :)

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
When it comes to timing stock-market reversals, there is generally no stone investors will leave unturned. And, given all the celestial activity that has been occurring lately (think of the meteoric explosion over Russia) it can't hurt to take a look at one of the quirkier market timing correlations—sunspot activity.
The attention of those who question the validity of the model should be directed to a recent note in Universal Economics, a regular missive published by money manager Paul Macrae Montgomery. According to Montgomery, there is "a huge volume of research which confirms that solar activity, as measured by sunspot frequency, is significantly correlated with various forms of human activity," he told Barron's. Among them: marriage rates, women's fashions, and, yes, market prices of common stocks.
Caution: Solar activity has typically been correlated with all forms of human behavior—including buying stocks. Wlliam Waitzman for Barron's
Indeed, "few conventional stock-market models have outperformed sunspots over the last two decades," writes Montgomery, who also invented the magazine cover index, which holds that bold declarations of economic or market trends on magazine covers are the perfect contrary indicators.
Typically, the greater the solar activity, as measured by sunspots, the better it is for market prices. Indeed, using the sunspot activity and other, more traditional data, Montgomery was able to avoid big market downturns in 2000 and 2002, and started buying right after the 2009 bottom.
So what is the sun saying now? The scientific consensus is that sunspots should top between May and September. But Montgomery won't exit the market unless other data confirm the sunspot moves.

How many 10-year-olds do you know who have raised over $100,000 to fight childhood slavery by selling lemonade?
There may be just one – Vivienne Harr, of Fairfax, Calif., who spoke to host David Boze Tuesday about her crusade to end childhood slavery, and how that has catapulted her to become an author, a phone app maker, and star of a new documentary.
Harr was inspired to fight slavery after seeing a photo of two Nepalese boys enslaved as laborers. The photo reminded Harr of her and her little brother.
"It just broke my heart," Harr told Boze. "I think of him and me being slaves and it just breaks my heart."
So, like most kids looking to make some money, Harr began selling lemonade for $2 a cup with the goal of raising $100,000. Realizing that it would take "1 million years" to reach her goal, she turned the lemonade stand into a charity, asking people to pay what's in their heart.
"I wanted to free 500 children from slavery, which would cost $100,000," she said. "We set up our stand, and we made a stand for 173 days, and we reached our goal in Times Square. So I said, 'Is child slavery done, did we do it?' My mother said, 'No, there's still a far way to go.' So I kept going."
In fact, with the help of her father, Eric Harr, Vivienne began bottling her lemonade. The organic, fair-trade Make a Stand Lemon-Aid is selling briskly.
"Your dad must be quite a fellow if he's willing to help you out," Boze said.
"Yeah, he's a great dad, and I love him so much," Harr said.
Now, Harr is out with a new book, which she wrote with her mother and father. "Make a Stand" is a children's book about "how big things have small beginnings."
In addition to the book, Harr is rolling out a smartphone app called Clickstand that you can use it to photograph a charitable cause to raise money or awareness. And, a documentary about Harr, "#Standwithme," is debuting in Seattle on April 5.
The proceeds of Harr's little lemonade empire go to seven charities dealing with child slavery, including UNICEF, the Nepalese Foundation, Not For Sale, the International Justice Mission, and Free the Slaves.
"How do you keep from getting tired or discouraged?" Boze asked.
"My friend [Stephanie, an adult] does all the bad parts, and I do all the good parts like selling lemonade. She doesn't want me to get scared and depressed."

Enforcement operations target prostitution in Sacramento County
Prostitution enforcement operations carried out by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department resulted in 48 arrests in August.
Deputies with the department's north and south patrol Problem Oriented Policing teams conducted the operations in response to community complaints regarding illegal activity and acts of prostitution around the county, according to a Sheriff's Department news release.
POP officers in the south area conducted two separate prostitution operations along the Stockton Boulevard corridor, resulting in 29 arrests of individuals engaging in the act of prostitution, officials said.
In the north area, POP officers carried out an operation along the Watt Avenue corridor, which resulted in 19 arrests: eight for individuals loitering for prostitution, six for individuals engaging in the act of prostitution, and five for related crimes involving drugs, paraphernalia or outstanding warrants.
Sheriff's officials said information from the community regarding illegal behavior is key to enforcement efforts that have lasting results. People are asked to report crimes in progress through the sheriff's dispatch number, (916) 874-5115. Ongoing neighborhood issues can be reported to local POP officers, or by contacting patrol area commanders via Nextdoor.com.

Salvia - Texas Red Sage
I've had a Salvia Furman's Red, and Maraschino blooming for a couple of months. Both plants are new this year. Both are producing seed. I don't know if either will survive my zone 5 winter, but I plan to save some seed for next spring. I placed tiny cuttings from each a couple of inches from my foundation, with the idea of giving the roots a little warmth. All seem to be taking.
I don't know about your Salvia, but I successfully overwintered Salvia 'Black & Blue' in the garage last winter. Although it might have even survived outside, since we had a relatively mild winter.
I've got some glads growing up next to the house foundation, which are also about zone 7 hardy, and they survive even the cold winters in that location (although they don't bloom every year, not sure why).

Delta Water Quality - Delta Regional Monitoring Program
Many agencies and groups monitor water quality, water flows, and ecological conditions in the Bay-Delta, but there is no comprehensive contaminants monitoring and assessment program. The Interagency Ecological Program (IEP), CALFED, and other organizations, including the Water Boards, conduct some of these analyses, but due to their specific mandates, information gaps may exist. Emerging concerns with contaminants related to the decline of pelagic organisms in the Delta, wastewater treatment plant discharges, agricultural discharges, pesticides, blue-green algae toxicity, and unknown toxicity events all highlight the need for well-coordinated contaminants monitoring. A system is needed for coordinating among monitoring programs and integrating contaminants monitoring into existing monitoring efforts whereby all data are synthesized and assessed on a regular basis. The Strategic Workplan for Activities in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary, which was adopted by the State Water Board, Central Valley Regional Water Board, and San Francisco Bay Regional Water Board, identifies the development of a comprehensive monitoring program for the Delta as a priority action.
The short-term (1-2 years) goal for this action is to establish a framework for regularly gathering, compiling, assessing, and reporting readily available data currently being collected under Water Board programs and external programs, such as the IEP and the Department of Water Resources Municipal Water Quality Investigations (MWQI) program. The long-term (3-5 years) goal is to develop a Regional Monitoring Program (RMP) for the Delta. Inherent in both the short and long term efforts is the need to develop a framework for coordinating monitoring and assessment efforts in and around the Delta.

Canada's Eugenie Bouchard advances to Family Cup Circle semifinal
Bouchard defeated Serbian Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 on Friday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CHARLESTON, S.C.—Montreal's Eugenie Bouchard won five of the last six games to upset Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the Family Circle Cup quarter-finals Friday.
The 20-year-old Canadian beat the second-seeded Jankovic to reach the semifinals at a WTA tour event for the second time this season and fifth in her career.
On Saturday, she plays ninth-seeded Lucie Safarova or 14th-seeded Andrea Petkovic as she seeks her first title — something Bouchard thinks she's more than ready for.
"Every time I go into a tournament now and every match, I always believe I can win," she said.
Even when she falls behind, as happened in her past two matches. Bouchard trailed in the third set against Venus Williams on Thursday and Jankovic this time before rallying to victories.
"I feel confidence in myself," she said.
Jankovic, a Serb once ranked No. 1, was the latest familiar name to be ousted before the weekend. The 2007 champion joined Serena and Venus Williams and past winners Sabine Lisicki and Sam Stosur.
Jankovic was the highest-ranked player left in the field at No. 8.
In two other quarter-finals Friday at the clay court event, third-seeded Sara Errani plays 17-year-old qualifier Belinda Bencic, and Jana Cepelova faces 12th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova.
Bouchard made it to the Australian Open semifinals this year, losing to eventual champion Li Na. In her only WTA final, she lost to Stosur in Osaka in October.
The sixth-seeded Bouchard trailed 2-1 in the final set. She then dug in to win the next three games and take control. Her steady, strong groundstrokes wore down Jankovic.
"It was the third set and your concentration goes down a little bit if you're getting tired," Jankovic said. "It was so close. It could have went either way, if I was a little bit tougher out there and played certain points a little smarter."
The two also met in the quarter-finals last year, and Jankovic won 6-2, 6-1. Bouchard was ranked No. 114 then, but she's 20th now.
"Well, I didn't want it to be Groundhog Day, for sure," Bouchard said. "Same tournament, same round, same opponent."
Not the same result.

Birmingham, West Midlands (PRWEB UK) 13 November 2012
When the iPad Smart Cover was first released, users were impressed with just how simple yet functional the design of the cover was. The original Smart Cover started the trend for fold-able cases which aim to protect the screen of the tablet; however now the Smart Cover has been revamped for the smaller iPad Mini and is available from UK online retailer Mobile Fun.
Manufactured to fit the iPad Mini like a glove, the Smart Case simply clips onto the side of the tablet using the built-in magnets to hold the cover in place. Even better the Smart Cover uses the magnets to work with the sleep function on the iPad; helping to save battery power and allow work to be picked up easily.
One of the simplest yet most stylish iPad Mini covers available, the Smart Cover doesn't detract from the original design of the iPad Mini; instead highlighting just how slim the iPad is by not adding any bulk to the small Apple tablet.

In this series I share our family budget, which includes the care and keeping for our household of seven (4 kids, 3 adults) as well as our debt free journey.
As I said last month, take anything I say here with a grain of salt, remembering that Christopher and I are digging our way out of debt after years of really dumb financial decisions and that what I say and do applies to my personal life in a household of seven with the income and debt that we have (how's that for a disclaimer?)
You know, your mileage may vary and all of that fine print.
February was a tight month for us budget-wise but we met our financial goals, including filing our taxes and shopping around for a good deal on a dishwasher. We also went through room by room and made a list of needs and wants, so we've got an idea of what money we should spend on our home this year for maintenance. It won't be a lot, but we do have some things we need to take care of.
Current Affairs – how do things look right now? Thanks to our tax return and a bonus from Christopher's work we were able to replace our dishwasher (we've been without since before Thanksgiving) and that feels like a major luxury for this household of seven. We're still budgeting down to the penny, but we're in a solid place right now and working to stay that way. We are able to give everyone some spending money and could include a couple of dinners out this month in our budget.
However, speaking of that spending money, ironically the person in our family who blew through her personal allowance so far this month the quickest was me. Yes, it was me. I spent almost half of my money the very first week of the month. I couldn't resist the yarn. So, now I find myself having to practice self discipline, especially since I have a workshop coming up I am participating in and a mom's night out.
Forecasting and Goals – we have upcoming birthdays and Easter (which we will keep simple) and we'd like to take a family vacation again this year, so we're planning and saving for that. Barring any emergencies (though we do have a fund for that) we'll be crossing another debt off of our list by the end of March, again thanks to our tax return and that bonus, which is going to be awesome because it's been awhile since another one bit the dust.
Staying Motivated – the main motivation for me right now is crossing this last small debt off of the list so we can really focus on paying off our van and the last school loans. I can see the end in sight, after a long journey (we've been at this since 2009) and it feels good to have six figure debt behind us. I keep listening to the podcasts I mentioned last month and that helps me to stay in a saving, not spending mindset.
Kids and Money – last month I mentioned that regular allowance is a new thing for us. After I shared a Today Show article about allowances on facebook, there was a good discussion. I took to heart Jeannie Jessup's point re: giving enough money for kids to get real world experience. What we're doing is giving each kid $5 per pay day (twice a month) and this seems to be working for us so far. We are also paying per chore when the kids ask for additional money but we are not paying them for their normal household chores that they do on a regular basis.
Frugal Deeds (done dirt cheap) – you're invited to check out the FD(ddc) Pinterest board and here is the list of last month's frugal deeds:
- Used last of the Christmas gift cards and our tax return to replace our dishwasher (we've been without a working dishwasher, well besides ME, since November 2014)
- Christopher installed the dishwasher himself.
- Went through all of the kids' clothing and passed some things down the line, keeping the hand-me-down saving tradition alive and well.
- I possibly could have purchased cheaper washcloths, but we're also trying to make more mindful decisions about where things in our home come from, so I purchased yarn to make new ones.
- Hit up the thrift store for new homeschool books, shorts, and cotton dresses and other Spring needs for my son and oldest daughter.
- I'll go through the hand-me-down totes for my younger two daughters for their Spring needs and if there are any gaps, back to the thrift store we will go.
- We haven't planned our March Date Night yet, but I think it might simply be getting someone to watch the kids so we can go for a walk some pretty, warm evening. Romantic and free, a good combo.
- We found out the kids who are twelve and under were free to get into Comic Con, so we were able to have a fun family outing for half of our entertainment budget for the month even with paying for downtown Indy parking. Okay, the more frugal option might have been to stay home, but after two months of no extras, it was nice to have a fun weekend being geeky together.
- My husband found two pairs of dress pants for work on clearance and even with the cost of alternations, he now has two very nice pairs of pants for work that cost less than $30. We consider this a pretty good deal (though I am keeping my eyes open for second hand deals for him, we just very rarely find men's suits and dress clothes).
- I took advantage of a Shutterfly deal to print photos for my Project Life album. I got 100 prints for just the price of shipping (which came out of my fun money for the month).
- We're still eating a lot of soups and stews, though I'm eager to start putting salad on the menu on a regular basis.
- Speaking of salad, we're planning our garden. We've taken part in a seed swap, saved seeds from last year, and are trying to keep the plan to what we know we will eat. I think the repairs to the raised bed and the fence will put in last year will last, so that won't be a needed expense. I know from last year that if we keep our ears to the ground, we might be lucky enough to end up with free plants, too. Last year the kids were given a free plant each at the local farmer's market and we had friends and family who had extra seedlings (tomato, peppers, various flowers) that we happily accepted. Gardens are lovely, but I have found that for us they can end up being a bit costly if we aren't mindful. At least, that's been our experience.
And that's how March is looking for the Fleck family budget. How about you? How is this month going for your family?
PS – someone asked me if I minded if you shared links to your personal blogs with frugal ideas and family budget posts. Not at all! Share away! I'm often inspired and motivated by all of you and you never know if you story or solution or great frugal idea might help someone else out, so YES please share in the comments below if you're motivated to do so. I don't think I'll ever manage to get a formal link up or anything going, but I certainly don't mind if share in the comments. Thanks for asking!
