Blog Love: Pocket Farm
Liz, who rocks muchly, from Pocket Farm talks about why she elected voluntary simplicity and lists some helpful suggestions on being frugal. She and the folks at Path to Freedom remain incredible sources of inspiration and fonts of wisdom.
Coincidentally, I have Voluntary Simplicity: Toward a Way of Life That Is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich checked out from the library and in my to-read pile.
Speaking of using what’s already at hand, a couple of nights ago, as my husband was washing up after dinner, he loudly complained that the turmeric I cooked our cabbage dish with was staining all the dishes and not coming off. “Sprinkle on some baking soda,” I hollered back. A few minutes later: “IT’S A MIRACLE!”

Just to be in the same sentence as the PTF folks is an honor. :) Thanks Jasmin!

The cabbage dish sounds yummy…
I love baking soda — it’s a great deodorizer… I have it in my freezer & refrigerator in its dry form, and dissolved some (with water) in a spritz bottle to squirt into the kitchen bin, after dinner… Or lunch. Whenever, :)

Another use of baking soda - when you soak poo-laden diapers overnight in the diaper pail! How are you gal?
