Gum Wrappers and Hay

BABY FOOD Home-made Baby Food Made Easy

Each weekend I would shop the market to buy fresh in-season produce such as sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, etc.

I then steam them up and freeze them in zip bags to use throughout week.

Take out ,thaw in refridge, blender whip for small child or spoon reheated for 6 months and older.

Same with meats. Boil and freeze then mash or cut very small.

No need to buy jars of expensive baby food.

Gum Wrappers and Hay

My daughter coined this phrase to describe the way her father and I live. This came after an argument while living with us. Her new husband and her were deep into debt so we offered our to share home for 200.00 a month to cover there room, food and utilities. After a year we discovered they were deeper in debt.

So we sat down and figured out how they, making 70,000 thousand a year were deep into debt, living off us who made 28,000 thousand a year ??? Well it seems my hubby and I can make furniture out of gum wrappers and food from hay.

I was shocked I thought everyone lived like us. Guess not true. So in these tough times I thought I would share some gum wrapper and hay tips.
