Saving that $2 for a bag of croutons adds up!

Ok so one thing that bothers me an oddly large amount is paying for croutons. Essentially you are paying money for stale bread that's been seasoned. I was especially peeved the other day when I spent money on croutons that were very obviously made from stale rye bread sooo I trashed them and made some myself!

I'm sure you have a couple o rolls in your freezer that you've forgotten about... Ample crouton making material!

Homemade Croutons

Store them in a cool dry place in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

I also want to take the time this week to make sure you're enjoying fall! Whatever you like, pumpkin spice, apple picking or pumpkin carving... Embrace it! This is such a great time of year!

The Sick Kit

That time of year is coming fast! So many germs so many sniffles...Working in an office and not getting sick can feel like an uphill battle! But I tried to make it a little easier this year by bringing a little comfort to the office.

Every Sunday morning at 8 am I recap the week, share what I learned and showcase some of my work!

The office sick kit to survive the horrid cold season!

Thanks to Wal-mart it was a pretty affordable box to put together.

It included..

- Lemon soothing tea

- Tylenol cold and flu DAYTIME: no one is falling asleep on my watch!

- Pain killers

- hand sanitizer

- Cough syrup

There were a couple of rules along with the kit

- Anyone was welcome to use anything in the box

- But to only take what was needed

- Contribute if you could.

- And the most important: Get Better!
