June Pantry Challenge, 3 Easy Steps!

Its time!  Time to have a fresh start and begin a No-Spend month including a Pantry Challenge!

What is a pantry challenge?  Im glad you asked!  A pantry challenge is simply using every little bit of food in your house before buying more.  Easy!

Some are concerned this may be counterproductive, like, ‘but then I will have to buy double groceries next month!!!’  Generally that is not the case.  Eating everything in your house means digging into that bag of lentils you were never going to use....  and all that whole wheat flour you have is going to become bread for your childrens lunches!  Major $$$ savings!

Just 3 easy steps...

Brooder Project for Baby Chicks! Totally re-purposed!

Raising baby chicks is so much fun!  They also tend to grow fast, get messy and stinky quick!  Space is optimal, as is security.

Ive been wanting to build a practical and sturdy chick brooder for quite some time and was able to use a very old wood kitchen cabinet leftover from a barn remodel!  (my moms- not mine!)

This thing had been sitting in an open but covered shed for about 10 years, it had a previous life as a kitchen cabinet!  Its possible it was built in the 60s...  or 80s?  Hard to tell...  the original dwelling is well over 100 years old...  so, who knows!  Super sturdy, solid wood, perfect!

Think it would make a great brooder?  I was confident!
