I am in love love love with this table! I am so wishing that I had a wood table in my kitchen to give this treatment to.... (might have to start looking at garage sales!)<br />
Hmmm... Wonder what else could get this treatment?<br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
When I first started this blog, I attempted to do this series called Scouting Sunday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It didn't go very well. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
I tried to pin myself down to one thing per a category and gave myself 5 different categories. I found it hard to focus on, as I'm a person who has to jump around randomly and find myself on different kicks on different days. So thus, I'm going to let this little "series" take on a life of it's own.<br />
<br />
As I peruse the web on any given week, I'll mark my favorites and bring them all to you in one post. There might be just one thing a week, or there might be ten. It's going to be a total reflection of what is interesting me that week and wildly random.<br />
<br />
So, without further adieu, here is your first edition of the New and Improved "Scouting Sunday"!!!<br />

So first up on my list is a tutorial- for one of my favorite kinds of skirts to wear, ever. They're called tiered skirts, and they're made out of funky fabrics and I love the way they swish around your legs. If sometime this summer I can get my hands out of my garden and onto my sewing machine, one of these will be the first thing that I make :)<br />

She has already decorated our sliding glass door with about 10 different "species" and I think this would be a fun activity and a good way to reuse some old tissue paper that I've been holding onto. Think I'll try this on the next rainy day we're stuck inside!<br />

As I've grown up, I've become quite the gardener.... which is quite the change from the black thumb that I had growing up. That's not to say that I don't kill my fair share of plants still, but I've gotten much better. This year, I've been experimenting with pantry planting. I'll do some posts on how mine work out, but here's an interesting one on celery!<br />

When I find one, I pin it. Maybe I make it, maybe I don't but I love going back and looking at these pins around the holidays to make personal gifts for everyone on my list. I love gifts with letters, sayings and photographs, and this one just says so much to me. I wonder who will get one as a present this year?<br />

When I looked at the tutorial, I was stunned. Super easy. Gears are now turning in my head about different wrap possibilities (I would prefer it over both shoulders) and wondering if I can somehow attach buttons, snaps, etc to give me a more secure feeling about wearing it in public. (velcro? hmmmm)<br />

As I already said, I'm nutso about gardening. I found these today and wished that I could zap myself about a month in the past and not bought the cute little wooden markers at the dollar store. (They're cute, don't get me wrong, but these are just downright awesome.) Next year... totally doing this.<br />

I have a ton of them that hang all over the place, and love the clustered look of large groupings of pictures. This is just a pic of a grouping, but I like the way it looks and the idea of hanging them on shower rods is awesome.</div>

Here's another great reusable Custom Freebie! I haven't submitted for this one yet- it does charge you shipping. But they do the custom printing for you and it's just $4.99 to ship it to you. Use code FREEBAG when at checkout!<br />

If you have animals, you know they can get expensive. So get your freebie here while they last, for the Milk Bones Trail Mix. I've never tried them for my dog, but we'll see if she likes them! She's a rather picky eater, but I hope that she'll at least give them a shot. :)<br />

I usually make my stops there for diapers, stuff for around the house and on the occasional trip, I'll pick up some groceries that I can't normally find at my local Fareway. This link is always updated with the Savings, like coupons that Walmart offers. So next time you're headed to Walmart, check out this site to see if there's any deals for you today!<br />

I search hard all week for freebies/coupons/games/crafts and the like to share with my readers here on my blog. Sometimes I find it hard to stay caught up and have freebies that are sitting here just waiting for me to share them. Thus, the birth of this segment of my blog!<br />
<br />
Saturday Savings is going to be a full day of just freebie posts. Savings will be posted throughout the day and then at the end of the day, there will be a Savings Summary, with all the freebies of the week listed in it, and that way, if you miss one, you can easily find it there! <br />
<br />
So get ready, get set, and get saving! Here come some great deals!Atmos Noisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03735185281254754228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038602453948292252.post-61365664254844411302012-05-18T09:43:00.000-05:002012-05-20T18:31:39.709-05:00My Favorite Waffles {Recipe}I love waffles. I love putting all sorts of different toppings on them, cutting them into strips and dipping them in syrup or folding them in half over a slice of bacon or sausage. I've been tweaking this recipe for years and think I have it perfected. I think it's best if when you cook them, you cook them just a little longer and get a nice crisp on the outside.<br />
<br />
First, you'll start with these ingredients: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MehC66V1XJ8/T4Xpny_0QLI/AAAAAAAAAxM/6zwSay9MtGM/s1600/waffles1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MehC66V1XJ8/T4Xpny_0QLI/AAAAAAAAAxM/6zwSay9MtGM/s400/waffles1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 3/4 cups flour (I use all purpose white)<br />
2 Tbsp Sugar<br />
1 Tbsp Baking Powder<br />
2 Eggs<br />
1 3/4 cups Milk<br />
1/2 cup vegetable oil<br />
2 tsp vanilla<br />
<br />
<br />
Start by measuring out all the dry ingredients:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tSFxs8kwi0U/T4XqEbbVqAI/AAAAAAAAAxk/0yl6EvkD9Ho/s1600/waffles2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tSFxs8kwi0U/T4XqEbbVqAI/AAAAAAAAAxk/0yl6EvkD9Ho/s400/waffles2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
And Mix them together in a bowl, making a well in the center (which you can't see very well in my picture):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Yk72qn8tVc/T4XqMQzCCiI/AAAAAAAAAxs/YHxI5kk0Mpg/s1600/waffles3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Yk72qn8tVc/T4XqMQzCCiI/AAAAAAAAAxs/YHxI5kk0Mpg/s400/waffles3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then move on to your wet ingredients:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2i0paVYSo_c/T4XqWTOAeHI/AAAAAAAAAx0/q-2EjZmTkzk/s1600/waffles4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2i0paVYSo_c/T4XqWTOAeHI/AAAAAAAAAx0/q-2EjZmTkzk/s400/waffles4.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>
<br />
Start by cracking the eggs in a bowl and mixing them well (probably should do it better than i did here):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1lW1H8WCL2k/T4XqgHK-xaI/AAAAAAAAAx8/OSt1djz-ITE/s1600/waffles5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1lW1H8WCL2k/T4XqgHK-xaI/AAAAAAAAAx8/OSt1djz-ITE/s400/waffles5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Add in the milk, oil and vanilla:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-klOylBbBuxo/T4XqpIx12ZI/AAAAAAAAAyE/7Mj8EOPAKeo/s1600/waffles6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-klOylBbBuxo/T4XqpIx12ZI/AAAAAAAAAyE/7Mj8EOPAKeo/s400/waffles6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjSnbHgayf0/T4XqxKMQdkI/AAAAAAAAAyM/1kmxr-2wKBk/s1600/waffles7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjSnbHgayf0/T4XqxKMQdkI/AAAAAAAAAyM/1kmxr-2wKBk/s400/waffles7.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix together well:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kDNdLGLL6fo/T4Xq4WRPasI/AAAAAAAAAyU/AJziESLlNtQ/s1600/waffles8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kDNdLGLL6fo/T4Xq4WRPasI/AAAAAAAAAyU/AJziESLlNtQ/s400/waffles8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, add this mixture all at once into the well of your dry ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T7SfwTPjCsY/T4XrA4LHx2I/AAAAAAAAAyc/lDLTb10SRGM/s1600/waffles9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T7SfwTPjCsY/T4XrA4LHx2I/AAAAAAAAAyc/lDLTb10SRGM/s400/waffles9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix together, just until moist. The batter will probably still be a little lumpy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8x_Wd7JB5g/T4XpwDtx0zI/AAAAAAAAAxU/WZXhYrdrtCk/s1600/waffles10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8x_Wd7JB5g/T4XpwDtx0zI/AAAAAAAAAxU/WZXhYrdrtCk/s400/waffles10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spray your waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour waffle mix in iron per your waffle maker directions. Mine calls for about a 1/2 cup of batter and takes between 7-9 minutes to cook. Resist the urge to peek! If you open it up too soon, you end up with a split waffle that won't go back together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they start to smell delicious, they're done. Pull them off the iron and enjoy them hot!</div>

Egg CartonsAs you may have figured from my thematic posts regarding green gardening, I've been a little nutso about cheap and green methods. This one was suggested to me by a friend, and since I had a bunch of egg cartons hanging around for another project, I figured I could use one or two for this experiment as well. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WukVvUiwLJE/T2aM4YLz8TI/AAAAAAAAAsE/UTd8t2NJXW4/s1600/_B116705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WukVvUiwLJE/T2aM4YLz8TI/AAAAAAAAAsE/UTd8t2NJXW4/s400/_B116705.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It's pretty straight forward, just put dirt in the egg carton and you're good to go! I'd recommend only using the cardboard type, as this will allow for proper drainage for your soil. Another thing I would recommend, because these dry out so easily, is to put them in a tupperware or other plastic receptacle and pour the water in it, and let it soak up through the bottom of the egg carton. Seeds seem to like indirect moisture better than having it dumped straight onto the soil, and this seems to work better with this method.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UQSb88m0m-Q/T2aNCA7wmFI/AAAAAAAAAsM/kcpU1xoYjno/s1600/_B116706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UQSb88m0m-Q/T2aNCA7wmFI/AAAAAAAAAsM/kcpU1xoYjno/s400/_B116706.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We didn't start many plants in these this year, as I've been pretty obsessed with my Newspaper Seed Starters, but the ones we did are looking ok. I'm going to have to either transplant them or get them in the ground soon, though, in order to keep them alive.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qY9Ypp2FY6U/T2aNPIksOJI/AAAAAAAAAsU/05Ae66Wa9aI/s1600/_B116707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qY9Ypp2FY6U/T2aNPIksOJI/AAAAAAAAAsU/05Ae66Wa9aI/s400/_B116707.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
Tomatoes are fun to grow. The only problem is that they take up plenty of room, you need to make sure that you account for this along the way.<br />
<br />
I started my seedlings in my <a href="http://fantasticfamilyfinds.blogspot.com/2012/03/green-gardening-starting-seedlings-with.html" target="_blank">toilet paper roll starters</a> to begin. I prefer to start seeds out in a small setting and then move from there. There are many different varieties, and it is always important to pay attention to the packaging and the specific directions for your varieties. This year, I am growing Roma, Tiny Tim, Best Boy, Mana Lucie and Black Krim tomatoes. Each of these came with slightly different directions to start. I'm going to talk here in generic terms, and occasionally talk about more specific varieties.<br />
<br />
Tomatoes need about 60 degree temperature to germinate and can take anywhere from 3-8 weeks to germinate depending on the variety. Start these seedlings about 6-8 weeks before the last frost to ensure that they will have enough time to grow and be healthy before they have to go outside. When they have two to three leaves, you'll want to transplant them into larger pots, and for these, I used my <a href="http://fantasticfamilyfinds.blogspot.com/2012/05/starting-seeds-with-what-newspaper-pods.html" target="_blank">newspaper seed pods</a>. You'll need them in about a 3" pot at this point. As with all indoor starting seeds, you will want to harden them off before they go outside, as they will not be used to the wind and varying degrees of temperature that await them in the garden.<br />

When you go to place them in your garden, you'll want to plant them deeply, with the first true leaves from the plant just above the soil level. This will stimulate root growth on the base of the stem and make the plant much more sturdy as it grows. Another thing that you can do to make sure that your plant is stable is to trellis it, or to put it in a cage.<br />

Remember they like warm, sunny, sheltered places and do not like to be overheated. Depending upon the variety, you can expect to see fruit in about 70-130 days after you plant the tomatoes. <br />

So this is one that I just found today and HAD to share with you, because if it's a true and valid offer, it's almost over. It's an offer by a site that I haven't heard of, but seems pretty cool. It's called Sneak Peeq. It has good deals on a bunch of random items, and some of them are pretty neat!<br />
<br />
I submitted mine and it was super easy, just follow the link, sign up through facebook (and remember it allows you to set privacy so only you can see it, so you don't have to spam other people's walls), and it will take you right to the page. Click on Peeq at your price and you'll see a free bracelet! All you have to do is submit your name and address and you're in business. I got an email indicating that I should receive it in 2-3 weeks.<br />
<br />
Also, it appears on the website that the way you get this might be just through a first free item offer. I do not know if this free item offer is something that you just get for signing up and can get any item, or if it is only on this particular item. If anyone tests this theory, please let me know! I will let you all know if it comes or not and what I think!<br />

A lot of the freebies, samples and etc. that I come up with for this blog are often brought to you by cleaning companies. This is no exception! I love getting samples of cleaning products, even if sometimes they're used as backup for when I run out of my product. Sometimes I find they work better! I had actually never heard of this brand before I submitted for this freebie, so I'm excited to see if it is a new product or something I'm going to have to search for if I end up liking it. Sometimes that's the downfall of freebies. <br />
<br />
This one isn't just a freebie, but also a sweepstakes that you're automatically entered into at the same time!<br />
