THIS IS A TEST I REPEAT THIS IS JUST A TEST (not really, it's a real post too)

So ... what in the what is going on with Blogger? My last two posts haven't shown up on blog rolls although the post before this did show up in my reader list. So what's the difference? 

I dunno.  

In other news, it's October! Woohoo! 

And in other, other news, I'm gonna hold off on the story of the new pup because I want to see if this post, actually posts. And in other, other, OTHER news, I got the cutest Halloween cookie cutters and ghost blanket from Aldi yesterday. Five bucks each. 

Not too shabby.

Happy October and Boogie Boogie! 

BACK FROM THE DEAD (sorta)

Hellooooo Boogerbutts. Guess what? The reason I've been chronically offline is because I made about two billion food videos and just today I started to go through and edit them for publication. I forgot how much fun it is to sit and actually do this side of the work. The sitting and making thumbs, voice overs (where needed), and edit video.

Pretty cool. 

In other news, Happy Autumn (and spring), to everyone. I freaking LOOOOOVE fall. Though it's been autumn here for a bit now (and I love that, too).

Lots of good fall photo walks to come. 

Okay dokey. Best I get back to work. This is Ivy, reporting live from my desk as I jump off Blogger and get back to editing the Sweet & Spicy Quick Pickles. 

So stinking easy and yum.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY #31 (plus new banner day and maybe some words)

MISSING in ACTION... be back soon (if not sooner)

Vlogging on semi-hold. Teeth all good. And dig this, a runaway pup showed up and adopted us. Long story short, he is now legally ours. Full story to come. 

Until then, I'm missing in action.

PS. I enjoyed vlogging at ALDI. Love that store! 

SO DIG THIS ...

So dig this.. today I'm shooting my first Aldi vlog. Now ... I say that but once I get in there (leaving after this post), I don't know how busy Aldi will be or if I'll chicken out. Hope not because it's about how I make pizza sauce in the electric pressure cooker and lemme tell ya', it's dead easy, crazy good and fits my budget. 

All things I love. 

In other news, I'm also shopping for ingredients to make homemade make-up remover. I already sew my own reusable makeup remover pads, be fun to make homemade makeup remover to go with. 

In other, other news, the last photo is a BTS (behind the scenes), shot for an upcoming lemon post. Keeping them jarred in water extends the life so I thought, that'd make a good video too. 

All of these little ways to save money add up nicely. 

And with that, I'm off to answer comments (from my last post), and then hit Aldi for my first ever foodie-style vlog. Probably do a Big Lots one too if the store wide 25% sale is still going. 

I'll catch you beautiful Boogerbutts on the flipside. 

SPENDING LESS ON FOOD AND LOVIN' IT

Hello Boogerbutts and Happy Weekend! 

So ... tooth/teeth thing. Few hiccups. One tooth they couldn't yank and requires a specialist. Other tooth was stubborn and came out in bits and bobs, with a sliver remaining. Sorta like a splinter that may or may not work itself out. 

At first, no real pain. Just tender, sore and swollen. Then one morning I woke and it felt like a truck ran over the left side of my face.

Good times. 

In other news, I'm happy with how we spend less on food. Smoochie Face rarely eats out during work. Then last summer we stopped buying weekend pizzas and I went back to making homemade pizzas.  And dig this, we've also stayed to 300 bucks for every 28 days with the grocery food budget. 

Love it. Love it. Love it. 

In other, other news, I went back to filming food videos. None of which I've yet to edit and upload. However, looks like I'm giving YouTube another go. 

And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. 

I CAN ALREADY TELL ....

Who's ready to kick some serious butt this week? I am. Then on Friday, two teeth get yanked from my head. 

That'll be fun. 

Even still, I can already tell ....

TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
