A few weeks ago, my 3-year old daughter decided to see how much toilet paper she could stuff down our toilet. I plunged and snaked the commode for what seemed like hours, all to no avail. But I was not about to call a plumber! Instead, I researched the problem and was able to pull the toilet, remove the HUGE softball sized blockage, and put the toilet back with a new wax ring all by myself. Toilet is now good as new!

A plumber would have charged $65 just for the service call, then factor in labor costs, and I probably saved close to $100 fixing the problem myself. I am a big proponent of learning, and doing, small home repairs and maintenance yourself in order to save money. Here are a few tips for those do-it-yourselfers out there.

Seek Free Advice

While many employees at your ‘big box’ home improvement stores know very little more than how to tie an orange apron around their waist, there is always at least one expert in each department. Find out who they are and get to know them by name. They will be a great ally! Invite them to dinner, buy them a hot dog, whatever it takes. They have always given my great free advice.

Find A Great Resource Book

I have one book for the do-it-yourselfer that I carry around like a bible. It is the Readers Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself manual and it is fantastic. It has big ol’ pictures and great diagrams for those out there like me, who would prefer to look at a picture than actually have to read. Worth a look, and not very expensive.

Be A Good Neighbor

In every apartment or home that I have lived in over the years, I have always had at least one very handy neighbor. I immediately be-friend him or her and give them a cold beer! I have learned more from handy neighbors than from any book. I typically reciprocate his/her help by offering my brawn for any projects he or she may be working on at their home. Works out great, their brain for my brawn.

Please add your suggestion or tip. I look forward to any new ideas. Now in keeping with tradition, here are some of the better online coupons on my site that can hopefully help you save some money. See you next month!

Hello Faithful Readers … I got an email this week from Pamela. She noticed I hadn’t been posting much and wondered if everything was ok. Her thoughtfulness touched me and it occurred to me that others may be wondering the same thing. So here’s what’s up.

Our family is in a transitional phase. My husband was recently blessed with an excellent job the next state over – about 2 hours away. It’s near family and where my husband grew up. On top of that, I’ve jumped right into heading up a children’s program at the new church we’ll be attending. We could not be more thrilled. However, we have a home to sell. We have it priced low and we’re planning to take a loss in hopes that we’ll sell quickly. In the meantime, there is lots and LOTS of commuting going on in our family. I am tired – oh SO tired.

The little down time I have I try best to occupy with normal things for Chloe’s sake – bike rides, going to the playground, etc. This blog has been around for going on 2 years now. I love it and I don’t want to give it up – so I’m not going to. If 300 people unsubscribe – then I’ll go down to 200 readers I guess. That’s ok by me (alright … I will be sad). If you know me a little from reading my words then you know that having the right priorities is important to me. Right now – working on blog things doesn’t fit. Once we’ve moved things will be different for me and I’ll have a little more free time than before – I am dreaming of that time when I can dive back into things.

Until then … I’ll post when I can. As always, I’m humbled and grateful that you’ve chosen to stick around.

Why I do what I do ~ At bedtime prayers last night Chloe prayed ” … and keep Daddy safe in his trabels.” We’ve had lots of time apart and I almost started crying. Her caring and sensitive personality is so pure. No one makes her say those things or tells her she should – she just picks up on it. I’m just the one that’s blessed to witness it.

Many, many of the ways I have learned to spend less money stem from me knowing how to do something, relieving me of the need to purchase it. Because I know how to make bread – I don’t have to buy it if I don’t want to. Because I know how to mend clothing – I don’t have to get rid of a piece that needs a minor fix. Because I’ve learned to cook a whole bunch of things from scratch, I don’t have to buy pre-made items if I don’t want to. The list goes on and you get the idea. I don’t have to do all of these things myself but I have the option because I have the know-how.

Oh how I wish that I or my husband had the know-how for fixing cars. Because we don’t, we pay more than some people would for regular maintenance or minor repairs. We simply do not have the know-how.

Learning a skill that you’ll need for most of your life is a great investment. There are many professions that have a real-life bonus that will save your family money as the result of a specialized skill. Just to name a few …

• Carpenter
• Electrician
• Plumber
• Hairdresser
• Auto Repair Person
• Baker/Chef/Cook
• Appliance Repair Person
• Accountant/Tax Preparer
• Seamstress/Tailor
• Gardener/Landscaper
• Computer Technician/IT Support

These are just a few professions with skills that translate into everyday life. There are plenty more to add to this list for sure. The good news is that you don’t have to have one of these professions to learn the skills. You can learn useful skills and gain the know-how in many ways.

Parents/Grandparents – Teach Your Children

I remember my dad teaching me how to change the oil in my car when I was a teenager. I could not have been less interested. I paid mild attention. I didn’t care about cars and just assumed if I wanted the oil changed then my dad could do it for me. Now that I have a family of my own … I wish I paid attention. My dad did the right thing. Many adults have skills, not because they went to a school to learn them, but because their parents invested the time into teaching them. Pass along the life skills that you have.

Shadow A Professional

If you hire someone to put an addition on your house – see if they’d be willing to have you tag along here and there, maybe help out a little. This is easier to do if you know the person. You probably will not be able to put an addition on your house after helping out – but you might know a little more about hanging drywall than you did before.

Enlist A Friend

If you have a good friend with the know-how, hire them to do the work for you and teach you at the same time. It takes a special kind of relationship for this to work – but if you have it then it can be mutually beneficial. My dad learned a lot of carpentry skills from a very good friend. They took a lot of time remodeling together. I think it built the house and their friendship.

Learn It

If you’re really dying to know how to do something you can probably sign up for a night class and learn it. Most technical schools have classes that can accommodate an adult schedule. It will certainly be worth your while.

Learning new skills is good for many reasons beyond the money-saving value. I’ve shared before how being frugal has changed me. Learning to do new things has made me realize – I really like to learn to do things myself.

Please share! What skills or know-how do you have that save your family money on a regular basis?

Why I do what I do ~ Recently, after leaving a restaurant Chloe said, “Mama, I’m un-hungry now.”

1. Frugality Is Not A Contest

I hadn’t made cinnamon raisin bread for a while and one day I decided I was really wanting some. It just so happened I had some raisins in the pantry – so away I went. After I was finished and savored several slices of warm bread I thought – why on earth haven’t I put this on my blog? So here it is

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

adapted from All Recipes

• 1 1/2 cups warm milk
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tbsp. active dry yeast
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 8 cups all-purpose flour (mix in some whole wheat if you like)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Once it’s foamy and making bubbles, mix in the eggs, sugar, butter,  salt, 2 tsp. cinnamon and raisins. Add the warm milk. Gradually add the flour until a dough forms.
2. Knead, adding flour as needed, until it’s smooth and elastic-y.
3. Place the dough in a very large greased mixing bowl, turning it once to coat all sides. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour. It should be about double in size.
4. While it’s rising, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
5. Roll out the dough in a long rectangle, about an inch thick. Brush the dough lightly with melted butter then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar over the whole thing.
6. Roll it up tightly (forming a very long log) and pinch the dough together to seal it. Gently cut it into 3 equal loaves. (Alternatively, you could separate the dough into 3 equal pieces before rolling it out. Doing it all at once is easier for me though). Pinch together the ends that you cut open and place each loaf in a greased loaf pan.
7. Cover the pans with the same cloth and let them rise about another 30 minutes. They should rise about an inch above the rim of the pans.
8. Bake them for 25-30 minutes (I do 27 minutes), or until they are golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
9. Brush tops with butter if you wish (I do).

Enjoy! And as always, feel free to email me with any questions! domesticcents (at) gmail (dot) com

On Sunday we returned from a weekend camping trip with the kids and another family. We have the dirt to prove it. Oh, do we have the dirt to prove it! There were times on the trip when I could only spot my kids when they smiled. Good thing we have them brush their teeth twice a day. But if you have a family camping trip planned this summer here are 5 easy ways to save both time and money:

1. Bring Frozen Meals From Home

Not only do you save money on your food bill but they double as great ice blocks in the ice chest.

2. Bring Your Own Firewood

No camping trip is complete without S’mores around the campfire, but the state park we stayed at wanted $7 for a small bag of firewood. Rip-off!! Bring your own.

3. Find Free Entertainment

Again, the state park we stayed at had a bunch of free activities for the kids. We participated in Junior Rangers and the campfire program and they were both free with your admission. Ask about what they have going on and be sure to take advantage.

4. Stay Close To Home If Possible

The park we stayed at was about 70 miles away from our home. With the price of gas, this was about as far as I wanted to travel. Ask around about nice camping spots close to home. They surely exist.

5. Improvise With Stuff you Already Have

If you are tent camping, you don’t need to invest in sleeping bags as well, just bring blankets from home. Try to bring as much camping stuff and food that you already have and avoid the big expensive trip to the grocery store or Wal-Mart.

Please add your suggestion or tip. I look forward to any new ideas. Happy Camping! Now on to some online coupons that can help save you money!

3. How To Find Extra Money In Your Life

So yesterday I was a little hard on yard sales, telling you all that they are a waste of your money. Well, they can be a waste of your money but that doesn’t mean they have to be. Here are some of the ways that I think yard sales can save you money and be worth your time.

1. Put Cash In Your Pocket – Checkbook At Home

If you go to yard sales all summer long as more of a fun hobby, I can understand that. Be smart about it! Put cash in your pocket that you don’t mind spending and bring NO other form of payment with you. That way, you have your fun but don’t over-spend.

2. Something You Intended To Buy

Sometimes people are selling items that are nearly new for a small fraction of their value. If you’ve been looking around for a basketball hoop for your son, intending to purchase one, and then come across a nice one for $15 at a yard sale – then THAT is a great deal!

I was selling my old sewing machine at one of my yard sales. A lady came and was so excited because she had been planning on going to the store and buying one just like it. What a great thing to stumble upon for her!

3. Something You Didn’t Plan On But You Need

My mother sold a BUNCH of canning jars at a yard sale. Canning jars can be very expensive and they are a wonderful thing to buy at a yard sale. If you come across them, and you need them – get them. Other things fit in here too. If you find a winter jacket for your daughter to use this Fall or maybe a good pair of boots. Things like that sell for CHEAP at a summer yard sale and you know you’ll need them this winter.

4. Something Rare Or Difficult To Find

Perhaps there is a very particular type of old coffeemaker that you’ve been wanting but is no longer produced. Let’s say you’ve looked online and found they were either too expensive or non-existent. Then, one day you’re at a yard sale and you find one for an affordable price. You may not have planned on buying it, but it was a lucky find and something you’ve been wanting and haven’t been able to get – so it’s worth it to you.

Antiques fit in here too. Sometimes people sell things for cheap but don’t realize their value. Be sure you know what you’re looking for. It can be very easy to be fooled or get ripped off when it comes to antiques. However, if you have an eye for them – then yard sales are the way to go.

When done correctly, yard sales can be a great thing for both the seller and the buyer, yielding mutual gain. Know what you’re selling and know what you’re buying for the most success.

Have you ever found a steal at a yard sale? Ever found just the right thing at just the right time? Do tell …

Why I do what I do ~ Last night at dinner Chloe said, “Daddy, do you know what says ‘hunk, hunk?’” Amused, David said, “No Chloe, what says ‘hunk, hunk?’” Chloe answered, “A Hunkback Whale.”

1. How Yard Sales Waste Your Money
2. Shop Safely Online And Save Money
3. Make Extra Money Selling Baked Goods

I’ve had two yard sales so far this year. I did one on my own and joined in on a multi-family sale too. Having a yard sale really doesn’t appeal to me very much. It’s a LOT of work and I’m just not a good salesperson. However, even though I didn’t like it very much, it was still worth it for me to do. I had things to get rid of – things that people were willing to pay for. So it all works out, right? I get rid of my clutter and someone else gets a good deal. Well … sort of.

I think there’s a right way and a wrong way to shop yard sales. If you shop yard sales every weekend – this could be painful to read. Here are some of the ways that I think yard sales waste your money.

1. The Lure of The Deal

Bargain hunters beware! If you have a hard time passing up a good deal then steer clear of yard sales! When someone is moving or very eager to get rid of things they will price their items at very tempting prices. It’s easy to justify an expense when it’s “such a good deal.” Even if something is a good deal it can still be a waste of your money if you have no use for it.

2. Instant Pressure

When making your usual purchases at stores or online, you usually have time to price compare, shop around and save up money if you need. When you’re at a yard sale – you have to make your decision right then and there. The pressure of passing up a great opportunity (even though you may not have the money for it) might be more than you can take. You may cave and purchase that snowmobile for $300 even though you know you don’t have the money and you could probably live without it.

3. Unknown Worth

Some people are honest – they price their yard sale items according to what they are actually worth. Some people are not. A good salesperson can talk you into an “antique” clock that’s worth at least $500 – assuring you that you’re getting the deal of a lifetime by paying $50. Maybe he’s right. Maybe he’s not. Unless you’re well-schooled on that particular type of antiques, there’s little chance you’d know.

4. Just In Case

I saw this happen a couple times at my yard sales. The first time, a pregnant girl and her mother were together. I had two infant car seats for sale – one blue and one pink. The pregnant girl was about to find out the sex of her baby in a week. They stood there debating which car seat to purchase for about 10 or 15 minutes. Do you want to know what they did? They bought both. I wanted to tell them that the blue one would be perfectly fine for a boy or a girl, but they loved the pink one and thought they better get it – just in case. I can see it now – she has a boy and the pink one sits in the garage collecting dust.

The second time, a woman came and couldn’t remember whether her pregnant friend had a baby swing yet or not. She decided she better buy it – just in case.

Everyone listen up. There is a baby swing for sale every single weekend at some yard sale in your town all summer long. My baby swing is not the deal of the century. EVERYONE gets rid of baby things at yard sales. Go home and ask your friend and then go yard-saling next weekend.

OK, I know I was a little hard. I’ll redeem myself tomorrow … In the meantime – do you have a yard sale horror story? I’d love to hear it. Share it below!

Why I do what I do ~ Chloe and her cousins were showing me their Lego creations today. They were very proud of the things they made and I said, “They look great! I’m a fan.” They looked at me weird and my older niece said, “Auntie Nicki, you aren’t a fan.” Chloe echoed, “Yeah Mama, you’re not a fan.” Their puzzled faces clued me in – they were thinking I called myself a box fan I explained that being a fan of something means you really like it. They all laughed at me like I was trying to fool them. I gave up.

Have you had ants in your kitchen lately? A few weeks ago they appeared in my kitchen. For several days I killed them each time I saw one but I became increasingly annoyed as the number of them grew. My first thought was – I need to buy some ant traps. My second thought was – No I don’t. I bet I can get rid of them with something I already have.

A quick online search led me to a great article from Tip Nut. The article had some really useful information. One thing it cited was that ants leave a trail for their ant friends to find that is undetectable to humans – this would explain why, even though I was killing them, more were appearing.

The first thing the article suggested were a few repellents – one of which was vinegar. Are you surprised? There is very little that vinegar can’t do. They suggested cleaning surfaces with vinegar and that it would repel the ants. As many of you know, I use a lemon/vinegar all purpose cleaner anyway so this was’t tough for me.  I clean the counters at least once per day with vinegar but in-between time I usually just wipe them down with a dish cloth. After reading that article I kept my spray bottle on the counter, and every time I needed to wipe up any food at all – I used the spray. I sprayed around the trash can and all along the floor where I had spotted them. In less than a day – ants gone.

I was all ready to try out the other ideas – especially the bait, to see if they actually worked. Lucky for me, I don’t think I’ll have to bait and kill them in my kitchen. However, I’ve noticed a few in my bathroom lately – and there’s no way I’m walking in there multiple times per day to spray and wipe down with cleaner. So maybe I’ll get to try something else out in there.

Another great resource is the list of natural ant repellents. There’s a list of common items that ants naturally stay away from. The article suggests sprinkling the repellent in cracks or crevices where you see the ants appearing. I was going to try the cinnamon – I love the scent, so sprinkling a little here or there wouldn’t bother me at all. I really like that you can use ordinary things in your home, non-toxic things, to take care of an ant problem.

Have you had ants in your home and you found a way to get rid of them naturally? Please share!

Why I do what I do ~ On my birthday recently my husband gave me a gift that was a little more than I was expecting. As a result of my shock I gave him one of those slaps on the back of the head that wives occasionally give – in love of course, I was very grateful. The next day, Chloe was hanging out with me and we were chatting. She asked me if I liked my birthday present. I told her yes, I liked it very much. She said, “I don’t want you to hit Daddy when you like your present anymore.” She had clearly been thinking about it. Poor thing thought Mom and Dad were fighting. Guess I better cut down on the head-smacking.

I love the month of May. It could be because it’s the month that I became a mother (Chloe’s birthday – she turned 4!!), or because Mothers Day is in there or perhaps because it’s also my birthday month. It might have a little to do with the warm spring air or opening my windows and smelling cut grass. It’s cold for sooooo long where I live that I heartily embrace the renewal of spring.

I’ve been busy cleaning, airing out, line-drying, planting, swing-pushing and grilling … and I have been loving it. I know my posting has been pretty sporadic – but I’m guessing you don’t mind a little less clutter in your reader or your inbox. My life tends to move with ebbs and flows and I try my best to just go with it (which takes some serious effort for this structured girl). I was out of town a LOT this month and it felt a little better to chat with family in my pj’s than to open my laptop and work on my blog. I have great readers. I know many of you are nodding your heads in agreement.

This blog is (mostly) about living frugally, but don’t you find that a frugal life – is also a simple life? I don’t mean simple as in “plain” or “ordinary.” I mean simple like – uncluttered, un-rushed, slower, less chaotic, more creative, etc. As I’ve become more and more comfortable with a “less is more” lifestyle I’ve started thinking – this is nice, this is really nice.

As a family, we’re learning to find happiness, joy, fun and contentment in simple things. This blog is about things I do well, but also about things I’m learning. One of those things is that so many, many things aren’t important to me. If I think about the things that bring fulfillment and add positively to my life, they are mainly people, relationships, quality time together, eating good food, enjoying the outdoors and trying to master some domestic skills.

I’ve learned that I get a lot of fulfillment out of making or creating things myself rather than purchasing them – and I like that. I have somehow come to love walking outside far more than through a mall. I seriously have no idea when that happened but I’m glad it did. I’ve learned that the reason I like going on a date with David is because I like being with him – and the amount of money we spend on that date affects the time very little.

Because we’re disciplined and starting to be smart with our money while we’re relatively young, I know that one day I won’t have to be frugal and I won’t have to make as many sacrifices – but I hope I don’t forget or lose sight of the things that have changed me and made me into the girl that I am now. I hope that even when I don’t have to, I’ll still hold onto the value of less in my life.

Why I do what I do ~ Do you remember the bunny I sewed for Chloe for Easter? Well, we celebrated Easter away from home and I forgot to bring it with us so I gave it to her when we got home and told her it was an “I love you” present from me to her. That was over a month ago. Even now, she takes that bunny with her many of the places that we go and sleeps with it at night. People usually ask about it (because it’s weird-looking I think) and she very proudly tells them it’s her “I love you bunny.” Every. single. time. I choke up. My daughter understands love so much more than I do sometimes.

It seems more and more frequent that I’m making meals or dishes to bring to potlucks and meetings and people that aren’t feeling well.  It’s good to have a stash of quick and cheap recipes for occasions like these. One of mine, that I’d completely forgotten about, is Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. I’m a pineapple fan AND a cake fan so this is right up my alley. Ordinarily I am a from-scratch baker. I do my best to stay away from box mixes. It’s alright to use one every once in a while though right?

I’d like to give credit to someone for this recipe but I don’t know who it is. I found it over 10 years ago online and printed it out. There is no indication on my printout where it is from. So here it is:

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

• 2 cans sliced pineapple rings (in natural juice)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 Butter Yellow cake mix

Directions:

1. Follow recipe for cake on package, substituting pineapple juice from the canned pineapples for the liquid in the recipe.
2. Line 9×13 pan with pineapple slices.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and cook until slightly caramelized. Add a teaspoon of warm water to keep it from hardening.
4. Pour the caramel mixture over the pineapples. And top with the cake batter.
5. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
6. After removing it from the oven, let it cool slightly. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn the cake upside down on a cake plate. Best served warm with whipped cream.

Why I do what I do ~ Have I mentioned this one before? I can’t remember … After getting out of the bath tub, Chloe was cold. Her teeth were chattering. She asked me, “Do you hear my teeth wiggling?”
