We got wrapped in taking a day off to enjoy ourselves yesterday. Took the kids to the library for homeschool story time, lazed about and played Diablo II Lord of Destruction. After having stayed up half the night talking, with crazy schedules we do that from time to time. We decided to sleep in this morning. Wednesdays and Thursdays are my husband's weekend. At least at the moment, his schedule is always subject to change.


Wednesdays' Frugal Tip of the Day:

Buying flour in bulk.

Homemade baked goods always taste so much better. Mommy always said it was the little bit of extra love that goes into them. It is also less expensive and healthier for most people as well. I tend to buy flour in bulk which does create a few inconveniences, such as storage and keeping the flour fresh. If you do not have freezer space to keep flour cool, dry and fresh then you need to invest in some large airtight containers. The problem will still be the stale taste and smell that develops if it is not used fast enough. It is really quite simple, 1 bay leaf for every 5 lbs of flour. This prevents pests and keeps the flour fresh without leaving the taste of the bay leaf. I have always used a dry bay leaf, though I am sure a fresh one would work as well.


Thursday's Writing Update

First Gardening Book Progress:
I still have several chapters to finish fleshing out and then I will start the editing process. I am also working on diagrams to use to help with visualization of various processes.

Werewolf book:

I am still just getting words on pages. I think that it will be an interesting combination of sci-fi and fantasy. Not exactly horror though that is what werewolves are associated with most commonly. I really feel it is time that they come out of the shadows so to speak and show their heroic side.

Freelance Services:
I do offer writing and editing services for everyone. Writing services include web content, blogging, social media, newsletter and journal articles, ghost writing and resume. Editing services are pretty straight forward, if you need proofreading done on any document I can do that as well. Turn around time on any project will vary based on the size of the project.
