Win a free pink Dyson!!!

Pink Dyson Vaccuum Giveaway by the Domestic Diva

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/379936/homemade_fire_starter_tutorial/ - I made these this weekend. Sure, I could have bought a bag of Fatwood at Home Depot this weekend for a few bucks but everything I used to make my own firestarters was recycled items and therefore free!! I made 1 basket full for now. I need to save more used tarts for wax and dryer lint and egg cartons before I can make more. I also stuff my egg cartons with shredded paper. I feel this helps it burn longer and therefore it makes a better fire starter.

Fall has arrived.....

I usually have a no heat until November 1st rule in my house. I have had years where I had to break it and years where I made it beyond that. Some things I do to help me make it are....
1. burn a fire in the fire place
2. load the beds with flannel sheets and lots of blankets
3. Wear layers of clothing to keep your body warm.
4. cook home made meals. It helps to heat up the house.
5. When sitting down to watch tv, cover yourself with a blanket. We keep a basket of light blankets in the living room. Everyone can have their own or sometimes it is nice to cuddle with a kid and read a book!
6. I make sure all my windows are locked to prevent an unwanted draft. I also use draft stoppers at the slidding glass door and door to the garage in my family room. This room is always the coldest room in my house so, anything I can do to help, I do!
Today I have my flannel sheets on the line to dry for a nice warm night in bed tonight.
Next week I would like to make these... Homemade Fire Starter Tutorial Video. With heating costs so high, we need to evverything we can to stay warm this winter!!
Here are a few sites with more tips!.......

I've got to have this book!



I saw this on the Oprah show today and I need this book now!! I am so tired of the veggie battle with my kids. I think this book is the answer to winning that battle. They said the brownie recipe is to die for and it is loaded with spinach and carrots!! It even has the Dr. Oz seal of approval and you all know I love Dr. Oz!! I will be getting this and a mini food processor in the very near future.

Apple Muffins.....

Here is apple muffin recipe I got from a friend. She says they are the best she has tasted!! Enjoy!

Buttermilk Apple Muffins
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup veggie oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped apple

Topping: 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (we prefer pecans)

Preheat oven to 350. Stir together brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add flour, soda, and salt. DO NOT OVER STIR. Add buttermilk and apples, stir lightly, and put into a prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with topping and bake 20 minutes.
