marineland, strawberry jam and crisps oh my!

Well.. I must say I'm pretty impressed with how my strawberry crop is doing this year. In the past week I have harvested enough to make a really delicious strawberry/rhubarb crisp
Rhubarb/strawberry crisp from our garden
and a few jars of strawberry/rhubarb jam
making jam
@ 50 cents a jar.. tasty!
So that is much better than the two handfuls we got last year :)

We also got our Marineland season passes in the past week. I went with Joey and Tisha a few days back but the camera died before I got any pics of them... and I went another day with just Tisha as she was quite upset about the day with the older kids as she didn't get to go on many rides.

We managed to make a few new friends.. This is Cleo and Zena.

and our old friend Eve from last year.

She seems to remember me because every time I talked her melon would point in my direction like she was trying to listen harder. She also kept coming up to the top to see us :)

I'm just burnin doing the neutron dance!

Well.. I guess it's about time I updated here.. It's been a few weeks.. but honestly.. not much has happenned.. I've been selling off a lot of my dolls and the clothes I make for them to try and save up for a new softie.. ended up deciding against a new softie as I don't want to make the ones I have less special.. I think I will just work on my soft sculpting a bit more and see what I can come up with.. I've been really improving with it.. figured out a few more things.. like really pulling the stitches a lot tighter than I was before.. and putting a stitch between the eyes to form the bridge of the nose before making the eyes and mouth.. my noses have gotten a lot better too.. so I'm pretty excited about that.. I managed to adopt out a couple softies this month... so that's nice that I'll have a bit of grocery money.. I don't understand what's been happenning lately but we are freaking broke. I don't know if all the bills just went u

ways to stretch a dollar..

someone asked this in one of my clubs.. if i knew any ways to save $$ here was my response. Shop for kids on boxing day.. buy big sizes... this saves me a bundle on my kids winter clothes.. I get everything 75% off on boxing week.. (at zellers.. in canada) Never be scared to check the clearance rack/section.. you never know what you're going to find..I got GAP shirts for my kids brand new for 2.99 each because they had found them in the back room.. old navy sometimes has good clearance too.. Stock up on the weekly meat special.. I get pork tenderloin for 1.99CA a pound.. and pork chops.. and steak.. and chicken breasts.. and just buy up a pile of what's on sale.. that way my freezer is always full of yummy meat. call up your credit card company and ask them for a lower rate.. odds are.. they have one. Always ask for a discount on big purchases like appliances.. you will probably get one. use layaway instead of credit whenever possible. check online for recipes for fast food..

So I get home and check my email.. and there's all these emails from bloggersupport.. about the password info I requested... grrrr.. someone has been trying to hack into my blog... WTF? like is my blog THAT important? Weird too because the people who have peeved me off most lately.. I haven't mentioned here.. at all... not because I think I'm in the wrong.. I just don't want to say things I might regret later. BCZ.. man there are things I WISH I could say... you know who you are.. and your opinion of me is shit.. and you'd think family would be more supportive.. but I guess you don't consider me as much family as I consider you... whatever.. no biggie.. no huge loss to me.. I got my hours increased at work.. starting next week.. doubling my shifts.. so I'll be working a lot more.. and making a lot more money.. here's a little thing for all of you questioning if I can afford another kid...
