  • Zoo Discounts

     

    Last year for the very first time we purchased a season pass to our local Zoo. Though we did not go as much as I would have liked, we did get our money’s worth. And I wasn’t so heartbroken when I realized the membership fee was tax deductible!

    This year when our renewal came around I was offered some great savings…$10 off my membership fee :-) That’s great for me but I have something even better for you;

  • Preschool is Out…Now What?

    download

    Juggling 3 boys, a dog, my hubs crazy schedule and 13 kids 2 days a week teaching preschool, I don’t feel like I have any down time =0( This year especially! My Teacher left mid year leaving me in charge and with a new assistant, our kids were wild and not as cuddly as I thought all 2 year olds were, and pretty much untamed to say the least. But once I found the secret to success with those little munchkins it was on like donkey kong ;-)

    We ended up having so much fun! A complete blast learning; about Day and Night, how God loved the animals…ALL animals including the little worms, noddle starts with the letter N and can be used to paint instead of a paint brush, not all objects float or can be picked up by magnets or even mix with water, Mrs Dana knows how to make snow, ice just isn’t for cooling your drink, and many, many more.

    I became accustom to repeating certain names so much so I believe I started repeating them in my sleep. I looked forward to the stress 2 days a week and became thrilled watching these children grow right in front of me. I know I drove my assistant crazy but I have no doubt that my teacher leaving me mid-year with those little munchkins was no accident.

  • UPDATE: Homemade Laundry Detergent

    Back in November I wrote a post on Homemade Laundry Detergent, I must confess that I had been using the detergent for 3 months before I wrote the post being I wanted to make sure that it was something Prudent Wisdom worthy.

    I didn’t want to write a post on something that I did not believe in or use myself ;-)

    I also had studied several recipes on Pinterest, therefore, I had to tweak this recipe to my satisfaction in order to share it with you to avoid any false advertisements =0)

  • How Does your Garden Grow?

    Many years ago when I had room for a garden, I utilized the space as much as possible by companion gardening. We (my hubs and I) had so much fun and a lot of success with it. Our garden became a happy hobby for us or blissful chore if you will.

    Since we have moved….5yrs ago….to a smaller lot of land I have given container gardening a try and yielded no success. I have even tried the hanging gardens, which is now an on going joke in the Prudent Wisdom house. Either I would drown the plants or dry them out. The last of our “crop” was lost during the war with the Ants.

    UGH!

    I had almost given up…..ALMOST!

  • Can You Freeze Candy??

    Of course you can!!

    As a matter of fact I do it every year and haven’t bought my own candy in 2 years!

    I, myself, thought this was an “old” savvy tip and never thought any less of it. My mom told me this secret years ago. She revealed to me that she would often freeze some of our Halloween candy and use it to stuff our stockings at Christmas.

    GENIUS!!

    However this year, when I spilled the beans about “my” secret and the Easter candy we hid for our egg hunt. The entire room gasped……even my Grandmother???

  • Animal Control, Animal Response, Animal Care

    Are you an animal lover?

    Have you ever considered volunteering at an animal shelter?

    Did you know it could be a project for the WHOLE family?

    The boyz and I have been volunteering at our local Animal Control shelter since Christmas. No we have not been cleaning out pens, picking up poop or even have had the pleasure of feeding them but, we have been playing with them.

    Did you know that a simple visit with these animals can help prepare them for when their new family comes to get them?

    Yep that’s right you don’t even have to get them out of their pens, just a simple pet with your fingers through the fence does more than you can ever imagine. This is something I learned on our first visit to the Animal Control Shelter. With middle man being a little rowdy and baby boy being a little too young I knew we were limited on what we could do. Yet the officer explained the importance of the animals becoming familiar with human visitors other than the workers.
