Shop Smart
1.
Do your grocery shopping on a full stomach.If you go when you are hungry, you’re more Likely to make more impulse buys, filling yourCart with food you don’t really need.
2.
Certain items go on sale at certain times of the year. For example, condiments usually go on sale in early summer (to prepare for all those summer barbecues), and baking supplies generally go on sale before Christmas. Stock up at the right time and save.
3.
Take advantage of coupons. Get your Sunday paper and make sure to clip, clip, clip! And don’t forget to take advantage of the special offers made available here on Home Made Simple
4.
If you can, try to shop alone. The more people you have along, the more likely that items you didn’t budget for will end up in your cart.
5.
Keep a pen and pad of paper somewhere in the kitchen. Write down what you need as soon as you run out of it, so you don’t forget it at the store. This will also prevent you from having to guess just what it is you need, only to find when you get home that you already had that item.
6.
During checkout, keep an eye on the running cash register total. That way you can quickly point out if something rings up other than at its advertised price.

Trouble Free Food Storage
Trouble-Free Food Storage
If you’re ever unsure about how exactly to store your flour, or how long your chicken can be stowed in the refrigerator, you’re not alone. We’ve made a list of some popular foods and storage parameters for each:
Spaghetti
You can store this for up to two years, but once opened, store it in an airtight container.
Rice
It depends on the variety, but all should be kept tightly covered. White can last up to two years, but brown and wild should be stored only six months to a year.
Flour
You can freeze flour indefinitely, otherwise, keep it in an airtight container just six to eight months.
Dry Cereal
Check the date on the package, but after opened, dry cereal usually lasts about two to three months. Make sure to refold the package liner tightly or transfer it to an airtight container to help maintain quality.
Bacon
Keep it in the refrigerator just seven days. You can freeze bacon for up to a month.
Chicken or Turkey Pieces
Store in the refrigerator one to two days, or the freezer for nine months.
Apples
They’ll last one to three weeks in the refrigerator, but make sure not to wash them before storing. Keep them in the crisper or in a moisture-resistant bag.
Ground Beef
You can store it one to two days in the refrigerator or three to four months in the freezer.
Steaks or Roasts
These will last three to five days in the refrigerator, six months to a year in the freezer.
Deli or Lunch Meats
Keep these in the refrigerator for three to five days or freeze them for up to two months.
Eggs
Eggs keep for three weeks. (You shouldn’t freeze eggs. )
Butter
It will last one to two weeks in the refrigerator. Make sure to wrap it tightly.
Shredded Cheese
Keep it in the refrigerator and use within two days of the “best when purchased by” date.

Prejudice
Prejudice
Prejudice is evil and vial there are non righteous before our King. Without Him no one will ever hear the courts of heaven sing. The color of your skin doesn't mean a thing nor where you live or how you dress. God is concerned with what we profess. God looks at the inside not the out. He wants to know if we believe or doubt. Our hearts are what He's checking to see do we believe in Him you and me. So if you judge others by how they dress, or where they live or by the color of their skin you can be sure that with God it is a sin. have a blessed day. hugs joyce

There comes a time
There comes a point in your life when you realize: who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

For My Children
*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play. *Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together. *Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles. *Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by. *Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned. *Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them. *Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys. *Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you. *Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry. *Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars. *Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows. *Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. *I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore. *And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
What is Life?
What is Life about?
Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many friends you have Or how accepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone. It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date, how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all. It isn't about who you have kissed, It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have' Or what kind of car you drive. Or where you are sent to school. It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, Or what kind of music you listen to. It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown, Or if your skin is too light or too dark. Not about what grades you get how smart you are, how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are. It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport. It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you." Life just isn't. Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposely. It's about keeping or betraying trust. It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or as a weapon. It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening. It's about starting rumours and contributing to petty gossip. It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who your judgments are spread to. It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention. It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge. It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow and spreading it. But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone. Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life's all about.
All this was said a long time ago. It was very simply put. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Something to Think About
You can't find peace by avoiding life!
There is something to be said about this.Its so short and simple yet so true.I think by not doing things that it will be fine.Putting off decisions will give me peace of mind just a little longer.Nope it doesnt work.My husband loves to take care of things as they come up and I think I would be wise to do the same thing.
