Simply Dawson: April 2010
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 17, 2010. We put up the netting around the 3 veggie beds last weekend, but I've been bad about blogging on this site. It isn't because I've been outside working.no, no. it's because I'm a teacher, and I'm SWAMPED at the moment. I still need to plant the beans in with the corn, and get the rest of the peppers and cucumbers in the ground - maybe tomorrow. I have very happy lettuce (and basil for that matter). The corn seems to have taken a growing break this week. Saturday, April 3, 2010.

Simply Dawson: May 2009
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. The beginnings of beans, and grape tomatoes. The larger tomatoes are still very green. I keep trying to grab a strawberry, but the birds beat me to it. I don't own these geese, they just flew in years ago and never left - and then have really cute babies, until they grow up and come in my yard. Thank goodness its every Tuesday by our house, and every Thursday by Blondie's physical therapy. This week I bought potatoes, beans, cantaloupe (1.50), watermelon (2 DOLLARS) and of c...A dea...

Simply Dawson: June 2009
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. So here's an assessment of my new habits:. 1) I am actually taking the shopping bags with me, not leaving them on the hook by the door, or in the car. 2) I have consistantly bought fruits and veggies from the local farmer's market. I am learning to blanche and freeze veggies, and have quite the stock of corn and beans. Now, why do I think this is important? Overall not bad. I'll post soon on my new goals to meet, and a "to do" list. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Thursday, June 11, 2009.

Sunday, May 23, 2010. Rhonda is a lady living in Austrailia who has a blog I read at http:/ www.down- -to- -earth.blogspot.com/. I started reading her blog about two years ago, and found she had some inspiring ideas - her garden is to DIE for! On her blog she asked what led us to attempt the simpler life.well. not sure mine is so simpler, but I'm trying a few things to create less waste, and bring my family back to certain values. My goals - learn to make pasta, three season garden, continue teaching my ...

Simply Dawson: Bag Bender
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2010/12/bag-bender.html
Sunday, December 12, 2010. I recently discovered the Green Bag Lady. Through another blog. I entered one of her give-aways, and won a handmade shopping bag for Christmas. I used it at the grocery store today, but didn't take a picture. I happened upon her site when she was blogging about making bags and getting rid of wrapping paper.

Simply Dawson: Jumpstarting creativity
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2010/10/jumpstarting-creativity.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. I loosely used this tutorial. I think I got a little better at managing the four layers (I doubled the thickness for strength for my large family purchases), but I also think I eventually quit worrying about how straight everything was. I am a math teacher and LOVE straight lines, but I had to let it go for this. its just for veggies right? Shari @For the Little Doll In Your Life. January 12, 2011 at 6:48 PM.

Simply Dawson: Unemployment lessons
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2010/05/unemployment-lessons.html
Monday, May 3, 2010. We bought no new clothes for the fall - this was really tough because T-Rex was growing, so I would buy her something new periodically, but the rest of the girls used the hand-me-downs we make use of anyway. I started hanging my clothes to dry, and we layered through the winter. Bed linens were also layered, and no heat was used at night (in the south we get down to maybe 40 fahrenheit so it wasn't bad). I still hang my clothes (why not? We are still focused on paying off everything ...

Simply Dawson: October 2009
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. One thing I've noticed about this whole coupon thing though is how much I DON'T buy anymore. I'm really trying to stick to the idea of cooking from scratch as much as possible, and considering packaging when I buy so many of the coupons are not what I am buying, but I managed to find a few things every week, and then max out on printing them. Just so you don't think I'm skimping on meals, here is what we are having this week:. Monday: big salad night, deviled eggs. I've always w...

Simply Dawson: November 2010
http://simplydawson.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. I've been seeing these things around the internet and finally got around to making one. Apparently my craving for sewing is back. I chose a bunch of fall fabrics, cut a front and back together using the diagonals on my ruler and cutting mat, sewed the sides, bound them into bias tape, and hung them up. Looks nice, we'll have to see if I do it for Christmas too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Blogs I read and write. FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map.
