(877)576-8921 ------------------------------ Money Saving Tips: Frugal Gardening I began several years ago buying small perennial plants. I buy a few every year to add to an area or start a new area. If you buy smaller plants they are much cheaper but you have to be very patient to watch them grow over the years to fill in the space. -- Username Louhoo We bought a huge bag of wildflower seeds at Lowe's for $9.00. There are so many seeds, it should cover all the areas I want to do. There is no arrangement of flowers, which is fine with me, and they are supposed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. -- username Princessabby When we moved to this house & had no gardens, I told my friends and family that I was looking for free plants, so if they had any perennials that needed dividing, to let me know. I received free daylilies, hostas, black eyed susans, shasta daisies, bee balm, bleeding heart, and irises. They are all perennials and they spread, so I've been able to give them away to others. -- username Calimari More tips on frugal gardening: http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=31459 ------------------------------ HOT Deals: Save 20% on any order at Old Navy Free Photo Card from Shutterfly Up to 54% off roses for Mother's Day Trecento Yoga Pants 75% off Aeolus Down Comforter Set 85% off Women's Teva Sandals only $10.90 $20 back when you buy Unilever Products All of the deals above appear on our Hot Deals page: http://www.mommysavers.com/money-saving-ideas/hot-deals.shtml ------------------------------ Visit Our Sponsors: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES: Work at home!

I have been hearing little clips about the Davinci Code and Christianity. Any opinions on this? I am trying to decide whether to let her watch the movie or not. http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=32168 Are We More Stressed? Our parents never did seem this stressed and all. We have definitely decided that we worry about our childrens socialiation whereas our parents did not care as much about ours. We also read every child/parent/family book/magazine there is and have them in probably more activities than we did. How did they do it? Were they stressed and we just don't remember? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=32577 How Do YOU Keep up with the Joneses? It seems our society today is focused on keeping up with the Joneses. Even while I think most of us here value a simple lifestyle, it's hard not to get caught up in that mentality a little bit whether it's raising super kids and having them in lots of activities, wanting nicer clothes/cars/houses, or whatever. What are the areas that you PERSONALLY feel pressure to keep up? How do you handle those situations? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=32597 Parties for Less I need help! I have 3 parties coming up soon and I don't want to spend a fortune on them. I need ideas for everything from the cake to decorations, presents to food, gifts to party favors and invitations. I'm thinking of having them all at my house since it's free but where do I go from there? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=32284 ------------------------------ What's Cooking: Porcupine Meatballs Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef 1/2 c. raw rice 1/2 c. onion, finely chopped 1/2 c. green pepper, finely chopped 1 egg 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 (10 1/2 oz.) can tomato soup 1 can diced tomatoes and liquid Cooking Instructions: In mixing bowl combine ground beef, rice, onion, green pepper, egg, salt, and pepper.

Go to a "farm supply store", I go to Fleet Farm, and ask for milk filters. They are the BEST backing for felt pieces...the stick amazingly and are super cheap! Just cut them out to the shape/outline of the picture and PRESTO, instant felt board pieces! You should GLUE them to the actual felt pieces to permanantly adhere them to the pieces.
