I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 10 years to my best friend. I am head over heels in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together.

I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.

I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

Halloween Craft for kids

halloweenwitches Matts Mom came to visit last weekend. She is a pre-school teacher and always comes with fun ideas for the kids. This time she helped the kids make adorable Marshmallow Witches. She got this idea from the Taste of Home site. My kids had so much fun making these. So I thought I would pass this cute idea along.

We used Oreos, so we went ahead and used both the top and bottom. But you are suppose to just use one side as a hat brim.

Add a little dot of frosting so the marshmallow will stick to the cookie.

Add a little frosting to the side of the marshmallow, add some coconut that has been colored green for witches hair.

Add the other half the cookie, to look like a hat brim.

Add a miniature peanut butter cup

Next add a chocolate kiss

Use miniature chocolate chips for the face

Enjoy your little witch!
