The Frugal Weekend

I am a firm believer in sleeping in on the weekends.  This weekend my internal alarm clock sounded at 6am and the more I tried to ignore it the louder it got. I willed myself up and into the kitchen to get stuff done before the house started rattling with kids and dogs.
Here are a few things I accomplished:
  • I met my Swagbucks goal before the husband crawled out of bed.  We share a laptop. -Correction- I share a laptop.  He hogs it.
  • I planned dinner and got it going.  Black beans in the slow cooker. I also cooked some rice to go along with it.  Super simple.
  • Tossed a load of laundry in the machine and then hung it on my indoor clothes line hubby built out of old metal pipe.
  • Made a batch of chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies for lunchboxes this week.
  • Made a list of seeds needed for the garden.  To be picked up while running errands.
  • Made Oatmeal muffins for a quick to-go breakfast.  My daughter had a dance thing at 10am on Saturday.  Which means she had to be ready and fed by 9am.  I also had to pack a snack for her hours long rehearsal.  I tossed a muffin in a baggie and packed her a cup of yogurt.
