Caroline, 36, with 6 kids...I love everything about October as long as it stays fall-like an winter holds off until late November/December. I love the crisp fall days, the smell of leaves burning, the leaves changing color, the rustling of leaves in the wind or when critters scurry by, pumpkins and jack 'o lanterns, and just everything. Fall is my favorite season! (nt) - ckmom 7 weeks ago

I want to start making a large Advent calendar for Dec that I can stuff with candy and some Bible stories as well. Just getting some ideas togerther now and hope to start putting it together soon.(m) - Alex 7 weeks ago

Great idea, I've been looking for an advent calendar for a while and can't find anything I like. When I was growing up we had one made of felt. I might go that route. Ours had different symbols for each day that were pinned up, no candy though. Good luck! (nt) - Bonmomof4 7 weeks ago

I made one a few years ago - duedrop 6 weeks ago

6. *~*~*~*~* Random Groceries Poll -- What's the cost of a gallon of milk in your area? *~*~*~*~* (nt) - Admin 7 weeks ago (15)

A gallon of store brand whole milk is about $2.59 at Kroger (nt) - Denise1066 7 weeks ago

It's $1.89 at Aldi but closer to $2.50 everywhere else. (nt) - joyofsix 7 weeks ago

My kids are lactose intolerant...I pay $2.89 per HALF gallon of generic lactose free milk. (nt) - sis517blue 7 weeks ago

Well, a gallon of Skim Milk is going for about $3.49; then their is the Rice Milk that I, my oldest and youngest drink which is $3.99 for 24oz. (nt) - SevenMs 7 weeks ago

Skim milk is 2.29 to 2.99 depending where I pick it up but the main place is Sams at 2.29 (nt) - mom2twelve 7 weeks ago

a gallon of 1% at wegmans and costco is around $2.20, but everywhere else it is around $3.50 to a little more per gallon. (nt) - Alex 7 weeks ago

It's about $2.50 for a gallon, but I go whereever it's on sale, so I paid $2/gal. this week. (nt) - Bonmomof4 7 weeks ago

$1.69 at Aldi for 2% (nt) - gmomof7 7 weeks ago

$1.99 a gallon most places, around $1.60 at Costco. (nt) - wantabunch 7 weeks ago

$2.32 or something close to that at walmart...i haven't bought milk in forever, we get it free with wic thankfully (nt) - serialmommy 6 weeks ago

£2.25 for 6 pints of semi-skimmed (ie. 2% fat). That's the biggest they do - it's about 0.9 US gallons. A bit of converting later... that's a couple of cents shy of $4 per US gallon! (nt) - mini-mug 6 weeks ago

We pay from $2.09 -$3.20 for 2 litres which is about 1/2 a gallon (nt) - MamaBear4 6 weeks ago

10. Anyone else in the midst of wardrobe switching for change of seasons? - queenmommy911 6 weeks ago (13)

I started a few weeks ago, then the weather turned HOT again, now I need to weed all the Summer stuff out & get it packed up, plus figure out winter coats for everyone (m) - Denise1066 6 weeks ago

I need to do this since it's gotten pretty cold really fast around here. I'm not sure when I will, though. So many other things need to be done first. (nt) - Mirz 6 weeks ago

Oh YES, I am going crazy. Cold snap suddenly and my oldest is rolling her eyes and saying she has NOOOTHING to wear! I decided last year (m) - kiddaw 6 weeks ago

I need to do this for the 3 littlest ones. Everyone else is on their own. The 2 and 5 yo have a lot of outgrown stuff and 11 yo doesn't have a coat. She's been wearing an extra of the 13yo's that is waaaay big. ~sigh~ Maybe tomorrow. (nt) - joyofsix 6 weeks ago

Yes I'm going crazy too! Some kids seem to have nothing and some have too much. Then there is the mending and digging out the next size up for Taffy. Clothes everywhere atm! Ugh. (nt) - duedrop 6 weeks ago

Question for you all: My 2 boys are 11 1/2 years apart -- Would you save clothes that long? Or pitch them and buy new? (nt) - wantabunch 6 weeks ago

Alison, that is a really long time to save things. My oldest two girls are six years apart and I have trouble with things working out when I save them. If I were you I would save any coats, snow suits, dress clothes (like pants, shirts and suits), holiday clothing, and maybe some basic things like jeans if they are not really worn out. Maybe limit yourself to one small to medium size tote box as long as you have the room to store it. (nt) - ckmom 6 weeks ago

I have boys who are 8 years apart. I've saved jeans, t-shirts that are in good condition, thermals & pjs & coats, (m) - Denise1066 6 weeks ago

I have 10 years between 2 girls and I've just kept the more expensive items to replace and some absolute favourites. I'm in a slightly different position I think, as the clothes have already been through quite a few girls before it gets to the 12 year old. So to store them for 10 years until the 2 year old is ready for them is a waste as stains appear and elastic deteriorates in storage. (nt) - duedrop 6 weeks ago

i save the clothes...katy is 12 now, jayden is 7..jayden is just now going in to clothes katy wore about 4 years ago...it's a huge saver on the budget...i won't be able to do the same for james and izzy, james just wears them too long and izzy is a big dude, but i do have stuff from izzy that i have saved for jack, and they are 3 1/2 years apart...and jayden's stuff (even the carry overs from katy) will be saved for abbey..i do add to the stuff with with each kid with new or gently used items (nt) - serialmommy 6 weeks ago

I have saved a few special dresses from when my girls were little just in case we have another, but it's a very few and since my younger DD is 12 I'm beginning to think it might be better to pass them on to someone who can use them now... (nt) - queenmommy911 6 weeks ago

Thanks everyone, that's kind of what I was thinking. I'll save just a few things, and pass on the rest. (nt) - wantabunch 5 weeks ago

11. My self-imposed grocery challenge - mama-san 6 weeks ago (10)

WOW good luck ! - MamaBear4 6 weeks ago

Cool! And what is it with teens and 'there's NOTHING to eat'? (m) - joyofsix 6 weeks ago

I read her post and did the $75 challenge last month (it's in my blog). I did not quite make $75 a week but had it around $85-$90. It is a cut for us and I think great for 10 people. Good luck! (nt) - Ranae 6 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I kept plenty of fruit handy and homemade granola was a big help for snacks as was homemade breads. (nt) - Ranae 6 weeks ago

I hadn't heard of that-gunna check it out! I think it can be done! We were doing about $350 a month (m) - kiddaw 6 weeks ago

that link doesn't work, lemme know if you find out what it is. thanks! (nt) - mama-san 6 weeks ago

good luck, i know that with us, i probably couldn't do it for that little!! there are also a few more of us! (nt) - serialmommy 6 weeks ago

Mary really is amazing, isn't she? 10 kids and she can still keep the grocery budget that low! In fairness, though... - queenmommy911 6 weeks ago

ah, i didn't have a garden this year, i was too pregnant to really be able to keep it up and when jason plants he basically throws the seeds at the ground and yells "GROW!!" and then is upset when they don't! (nt) - serialmommy 5 weeks ago

12. */*/*/*/* Grocery Budget~ Do You Have One? ~ see inside*\*\*\*\* - joyofsix 6 weeks ago (8)

I sort of/kind of have a budget (m) - joyofsix 6 weeks ago

Used to have a set budget. --m - Mirz 6 weeks ago

We have one as in an amount per week usually. The amount varies due to circumstances. Things have been tight lately with unexpected expenses so it has been less lately. Surplus $$ from that week's amount is used to stock up (nt) - Ranae 6 weeks ago

I've never operated on a set budget. I buy my meat in bulk from local farmers. I also buy eggs from a farmer. Most everything I buy at the store I buy in bulk when at the lowest sale price. Weekly to bi-weekly I buy milk & bread depending upon how fast they go through it. (nt) - ckmom 6 weeks ago

I don't know that it is really a budget (m) - Denise1066 6 weeks ago

Not a strict budget, but I too try not to spend (m) - kiddaw 6 weeks ago

i try to have one...this month i'm going to order angel food, and we'll pick it up on the 24th, which is usually when our spendable income gets a little tight because of other bills that are due around that time so the food pantry gets a little lean...if my freezer were fixed, i'd stock up even more, i really want to cut out even more convenience foods than i already have (nt) - serialmommy 6 weeks ago

13. Ack, a grocery deal I can't resist! - mama-san 6 weeks ago (6)

That is a good deal Kate! Good lookin' out! (nt) - ckmom 6 weeks ago

Don't know if these would be helpful to you (m) - wantabunch 6 weeks ago

thanks, I didn't see these until today and he went yesterday- but I appreciate it! (nt) - mama-san 5 weeks ago

Well dh picked up the wrong size boxes and the cashier wouldn't let him use one of the coups, but he went back and got it straightened out and was able to use the other coupon. He was crabby about it but I told him it wasn't worth it if he didn't get the deal! :) (nt) - mama-san 5 weeks ago

I love the idea of coupons /vouchers- i guess the closest we get here in Aust is like a reduced price if u buy 2 of something. Well done (nt) - MamaBear4 4 weeks ago

14. do you think... - serialmommy 6 weeks ago (3)

Not any healthier, maybe a little less vitamin A actually but I've used squash, sweet potato and carrot in place of pumpkin and they all work. Enough sugar and spices hides everything, LOL. (nt) - joyofsix 6 weeks ago

Now you've got me thinking....I've got a bunch of frozen carrots nobody wants to eat, if I puree & mash them maybe I could add them to the pumpkin when I start baking. (nt) - Denise1066 6 weeks ago

16. *@*@*@*@* It's Half Way Through The Week, Are You Half Done? *~*~*~*~* *@*@*@*@* (nt) - joyofsix 5 weeks ago (5)

I still need to mop the kitchen. I did get the curtains re-hemmed so that if I finally break down and turn on the heat they won't catch on fire. (nt) - joyofsix 5 weeks ago

Well, I wrote out a daily plan for housework, exercise, kids stuff, and work. All I've done in the past few days is stress that I haven't done one thing when I should've! Hopefully things will settle soon or I'll have to revise it to simplify so I can stay sane and enjoy my kids. (nt) - duedrop 5 weeks ago

I'd love to see your daily plan (m) - wantabunch 5 weeks ago

It looks like a good plan Alison. It's hard when it comes unstuck a bit when you're not feeling well. I think you just need to pick the most important thing on your plan to do on days when it all looks too much. If you get that 1 thing done, you'll still feel satisfied and if more is accomplished, you'll feel even better! I'll give you a rundown of mine later, I have to pick up kids from school soon. (nt) - duedrop 4 weeks ago

ohhhh! My friend sent me this recipe!! - canadianmom 4 weeks ago

18. recipe for oatmeal or wheat bread - serialmommy 4 weeks ago (6)

Here's my recipe - wantabunch 4 weeks ago

where do you get the wheat gluten from? i can't find it ANYWHERE...for my muffins, i use about 1/3 wheat flour and the rest regular unbleached flour and they always turn out nice because of that, could i do that with bread too? would it be the same kind of thing? (nt) - serialmommy 4 weeks ago

I get it from the bulk bins at Winco. Most stores have it in their baking aisle (m) - wantabunch 4 weeks ago

i went wandering down the baking aisle at meijer (think walmart for those unfamiliar) and i found it! it's a little pricey, however it's a decent sized package and for only using about 2 tbsp per recipe it'll last a while, i'm going to pick some up, along with whole wheat flour (i have just wheat flour right now for baked treats), on thursday when jason gets paid (nt) - serialmommy 4 weeks ago

I also get mine from King Arthur Flour Company. (nt) - tiddlywinks 3 weeks ago

23. I'm overly sensitive to smells right now & can't find the cause of one in my kitchen....how do you find & eliminate smells in your house? (nt) - Denise1066 3 weeks ago (6)

I start with a couple of lemons down the garbage disposal, then the fridge, and then clean under the appliances (where our mouse traps are.) (nt) - tiddlywinks 3 weeks ago

The biggest smell culprit in my house tends to be something under/behind an appliance (nt) - queenmommy911 3 weeks ago

I narrowed it down to the kitchen sink....we don't have a garbage disposal, so I ran hot water, dumped in some dishwasher soap, let it sit, then ran the hot water again for a couple minutes. (nt) - Denise1066 3 weeks ago

Hi- pop some bi-carb soda (1/2 cup) followed by some vinegar-leave for 1/2 an hour then pour boiled water down the drain (nt) - MamaBear4 3 weeks ago

yep, baking soda and then followed by vinegar let it bubble like CRAZY...then wash it down with hot water, and pour lemon juice down the drain...we have an old house and no garbage disposal..it's safe on our old pipes and it works GREAT on slow drains! (nt) - serialmommy 3 weeks ago

It's been miserable, the kids have missed most of their activities & we've only been to church once in 2 months. (nt) - Denise1066 2 weeks ago

((Hugs)) What's the matter with it? Is it something that could possibly be fixed by you guys? (Maybe get a fix-it manual for your model) Or do your older boys know anyone that's good at fixing cars? Hope you can get it fixed soon! (nt) - wantabunch 2 weeks ago
