I can't believe it's been a week since my last post! Last week went by so quickly... I made an impromptu visit home to see my parents last weekend, so I could get a little extra sleep while they watched Aaron... It was nice for me, and nice for them, because they don't get to see Aaron enough and he is their first grandchild... For this week I will share a few things that I am planning on doing in my quest to become more crunchy (and save money)...
1.) I plan to start the "no 'poo" method of hair-cleaning today... Basically, instead of shampoo and conditioner I will be using baking soda and apple cider vinegar for cleaning my hair...
2.) Homemade Household Cleaner
3.) Homemade Deoderant
4.) Coconut oil as diaper cream
5.) Homemade Baby Wipes
6.) Diva Cup (TMI, I know)
And as far as crunchy (and cheap) food ideas go, this week I purchased a whole chicken, and I'm currently roasting it for dinner tonight. I then plan to take the leftover chicken and make chicken BBQ for Wednesday's dinner, and chicken noodle soup for Friday. I am also going to make a chicken stock from the carcass, and use it for the soup, in addition to freezing some. More updates on that later in the week. If it works out, we'll have gotten 3 meals and some chicken stock for less than $6. Win!
Check back later in the week for an update on the chicken situation, and probably a post on the pumpkin whoopie pies I'm planning to make for my landlord tomorrow. At some point I need to post about my crunchy Christmas gift plans... Aaron just needs to give me more free time! :)
