Plan your trips - even the little ones. I grew up a half-hour from the nearest town and this was ingrained into me. You leave the house once and have thought through what you need and from whence. You plan your route to provide you with the best possible route to achieve the needs.

Note: You do need a cooler in the car for grocery runs.
There is no running to the store for x. You do without until the next run.

We made five stops in two hours yesterday circling the better part of downtown and West Ashley - Lowes, Target, an herbalist, the DMV, and the "fish store." All except the herbalist, were items that had been on the to get/todo list for more than a week.

I got over my secret giggling over the word "spatchcock" and asked the meat department at the grocery to do it for me the other day. Score. It is really easy, but go butcher guy go.

When in doubt go with my High School's (Bob Jones - yes they had a high school) definition of Devil's music: If there is a syncopated beat it is bad.

For our family of four, we manage to eat organically and without wheat (allergies) for under $100 a week. Almost everything is unprocessed. (I think we really save money in that way.) We home school and cooked lunches are prepared at home daily, too. We budget $25 for eating out each week. For the Charleston locals, Sesame Burger in Park Circle has $3.00 burger night on Tuesdays. I'd love to have $170 to spend on food each week. But we would probably just get really fat. Sigh.

In Charleston, SC, it snows once every 10 years or so. It did this past February. We kept the boys up well past midnight to play in the snow because we knew it would melt in the morning.

My husband remembers the day I screamed at him: "Stop trying to fix me and just listen!" Being a good ol' Southern girl I'd never do that at a prayer circle; I just keep those rants in the family. Makes me almost wish I were a speak-the-truth-anytime-Northerner - almost 'cause I'd have to give up grits and that's not an option. Sigh.
