Budget Boot Camp



As I mentioned on Sunday I am a challenger in the Budget Boot Camp.  I am joining up with some of my favorite twitter and blogfrog friends and meeting some new ladies as well along this journey.  I am very excited to make new blogging friends and get my budget in shape!


The first challenge is to make a menu and stick to it.  Since I have been working on this anyway I am very excited to continue meal planning as a way to help me save money.  I printed out the menu template from Beth at In Good Cents.  Wish me luck as I am trying to do three weeks worth of menus.


If you would like to join me in this challenge please feel free!  Each week I will be posting the challenge and then a wrap up post on how the challenge went.  I will also be discussing it in my BlogFrog community so if you want to decrease your spending and get your budget in shape jump in NOW!

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it.  If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial.  I have pee stains on more than one mattress.  I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot .  It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know?  Another mom had pee stains too.  So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you.

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

 I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster.  I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw.  I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop.  I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me.  However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house.  The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches.  I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them.  I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends.  Lesson learned
