Sharing Some Things That Seem To Help Me

You can tell where I spend most of my time, and that is in the kitchen! I love to cook, everyone knows that.

Feel free to visit the kitchen of Hibiscus House, Dolly Is Cooking, for lots of recipes and information.

Today I'm still on the topic of saving money. Sharing some of my thoughts, experiences with things that have helped me.

My grandparents had massive food storage inside and outside.

As a child, I enjoyed raiding their pantry and going outside looking at the meats hanging in the smokehouses.

It was fun visiting & watching them dig to get the potatoes they'd stored under the mounds of dirt to keep them.

Talk about being self-sufficient, they really were.

Doer what is a doer?

A person who does things, driven by producing. One who plans,executes, and leads. A person who likes to get things done instead of just thinking and dreaming about doing things.

We doers like to do & if you're a thinker dreamer standing in the way. I say lightheartedly to you "Please stand to the side because I don't want to bump into you while doing."

Not that we doers don't take the time to think about and make plans around getting things done, we do. In fact this post was started with some of that thinking and planning.

That comes in handy when doing also saves you time and money in the long run.

If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, maybe getting a little tired in the process you can accomplish much!
