Free weekend fun!
1. Groceries: we spent $18.64 on groceries this week. You can see the haul below:
2. Cooking: I made yogurt and bone broth in the Instant Pot. I also froze the chicken thighs that we got at Walmart.
3. Gardening: I dug some young potatoes, as we had our first hard frost last week. These were potatoes that I planted in late August because they sprouted in our pantry. I also brought in some green tomatoes to finish ripening indoors. I put the little tomatoes in egg cartons for storage.

4. Organized sewing room: I organized our storage/sewing/craft room. Every couple of months, that room fills up with junk that doesn't have a place. Just when I think there is absolutely no more room for anything in our house, I still find ways to make it work. I was able to make a little gift wrap station, plus find a new place for the sewing machine and overflowing basket of unfinished projects/mending.

5. Toddler sink: My husband made a wooden toddler sink for Baby. It's basically a little table with a hole cut in the middle, where you can set a bowl inside. Then you pour water into the bowl set a little dish of soap on the side so she can wash her hands.
6. Sewing: I got a ton of mending done last week! I mended two cloth diapers, patched three pairs of pants, hemmed two pairs of pants, made mittens for Baby and a zippered pencil case to hold all of my bullet journaling supplies.
I think having the sewing room area organized helped me get a lot more done this week!
7. Train station: We didn't have much to do on Saturday, so we decided to go to a local train museum. When we got there, we realized that the "museum" was more of a working train station than a museum. It was filled with excursionists waiting to reboard the Pere Marquette, a historical working steam engine (famous for its portrayal in "The Polar Express"). So much steam!
I think that's about it for the week.
What were some of your frugal accomplishments?
