BEANS & RICE
1 pound of pinto beans rinsed
2 pounds of cooked rice
1-2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 pound of bacon
1 can of rotel
any of your favorite seasonings
8 cups of water
shredded cheese for topping
krusteaz cornbread
Combine all ingredients (not rice) into crockpot and stir. Make sure water is covering everything almost up to the top of the bowl. There is no need to soak the beans over night if you put enough water and allow to cook all day 8-10 hours or just on low. You can stir throughout the day or not at all and it will taste delicious. Pair with shredded cheese, rice and cornbread and you are good to go. EASY $5 dinner for your family.

    I used to start a load in the morning before work an come home at lunch. Warm up a cup of coffee an go hang the clothes on the line an then go back to work. As I got older I would do a load before work an then after I got home put it in the dryer. Now I hang them on the line again weather permitting. I love the smell of line dried clothes.

    I am a mom of 2 grown children, I'm pushing 60 and I love your videos. It's been a while since I have cooked for 4 people every day and done that much laundry and house cleaning. But I like the way you do things! No shortcuts, well planned, and you keep busy! Very refreshing in these days of many shortcuts like not sorting laundry, no top sheets on the beds, instant pot for everything, and kids with phones and video games but few books (I'm a first grade teacher so I had to throw that in.) Keep up the good work! Take a little time for yourself once in a while.

    I had that same washer and dryer and ended up stacking them. Lowe’s sells the kit which is literally just a bracket and screws. Super easy and you can use that other wall for a folding table and some cabinets or something organizational like that to maximize that space.

    I totally agree with Parents Choice. Being a mom of twins, I knew diapers were gonna be so expensive, so I went through EVERY SINGLE diaper brand and the cheapest ones were Parents Choice. They are amazing with heavy pee-ers. And blow outs rarely happened. Sorry if TMI for anyone but its true. I tried others like Pampers since they were preemie and those sucked.

    ...we’ve had delivery for a while and it’s through Instacart and delivery fee varies depending on the time. I don’t use it because of the fee (I think it’s very expensive) but my kids have used it. I watch my granddaughter and when she was out of diapers they ordered diapers, wipes and some other basics to get to the $30 minimum and had it delivered so I didn’t have to go out with a little one.

    You'd save more money and the environment if you didn't buy bottled water, and bought a Brita which comes in two styles. one for the fridge with a filter and one you attach to your tap. They cost a bit up front but last 3 months ... I did that not only does that save space but I use a water bottle i bought at Walmart and I don't have to worry about it being clean water. Most bottled water is filterd tap water anyhow
