Dorm Room Checklist – What to Bring to College

July 28, 2014 27 Comments

Now that The Girl is headed off to college, we have been faced with the reality of packing everything she will need into ½ of a 15×15 room. I’m not one for clutter, and never really have been, and since that has rubbed off on The Girl big time, we want to have what she needs—neat and organized, without having her swallowed up by stuff like a bad Hoarders episode.

First off, I have to admit, we are kind of erring on the side of minimalism. We signed her up for Amazon Student, so I figure she can always pop on and get whatever she needs, delivered to her door in two days. It will also give her a chance to watch movies or shows during her downtime, right on her laptop. I don’t want to say I am the best mom ever, but if a certified letter came, I certainly wouldn’t turn it away. Ha! {As a total sidenote, it occurred to me that Amazon Student would make an AWESOME birthday gift for pretty much anyone—if you need some gift ideas.} It is FREE for the 1^st 6 months {and has most of the perks of Amazon Prime} and then it’s 50% off the Prime membership after that. Pretty sweet deal, I think.

Okay, now on to the checklist:

Toiletries

Most dorms have a shared bathroom on each floor, so a shower caddy of some sort is essential for carting soap, shampoo, etc. back and forth from bathroom to dorm room. Fill the caddy with soap/body wash, shampoo, conditioner, razors, washcloths, etc. I think 2 towels are plenty.

In an ideal world, that means there is time to wash one while the other is in use. That assumes that your student will hang up the towel to dry daily—could be a crap shoot depending on your student’s personality. Since the showers in dorms are also communal, they suggested that my daughter bring a pair of cheap flip-flops to shower in. That way, she can keep her feet from getting dirty while she gets clean–go figure. They will also need any other grooming supplies: brush, flat iron, deodorant, make-up, etc.

Kitchen Supplies

Most colleges have community kitchens {or your student will be on a meal plan}, so things like pots and pans are not necessary, but we are sending my daughter to school with her own can opener just so she has her own when she wants it. We are also investing in a mini-fridge.

It will allow her to keep yogurts and other items that she may want to chance in the communal fridge at her immediate disposal. We got a little basket for her to keep her own personal snacks in and she is bringing a refillable water bottle. Depending on your student’s situation, you may want to consider a microwave.

For the Bed

Obviously, your student will need bedding. Again, along the same lines as the towels, I think two sets of sheets are plenty. You may also want to send them with their own laundry detergent and a roll of quarters to encourage that they actually DO the laundry. They will need a pillow and comforter as well. We will also be bringing a mattress cover–I mean, it is a shared mattress after all.

In the Room

How much your student wants to personalize their room is probably pretty individual. The basics include a desk lamp, laptop, school supplies {pens, pencils, stapler, etc.}, alarm clock, surge protector, laundry bag or basket, garbage can {and bags if you want to line it}, an all-purpose cleaner and a couple of rags, kleenex, a roll or two of paper towels. More individual items include posters, iPod docking station, t.v., dvd player, camera, bulletin board, white board, etc.

Just in Case Items

A tool kit {with batteries, duct tape, masking tape, hammer, screwdriver, etc.}, sewing kit, and first aid kit {band-aids, nail clippers, hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, Advil, Pepto, tweezers, cotton balls, cold medicine, etc.} will cover most just in case scenarios.

For Around Campus

A couple of other items to consider while your student makes their way around campus is an umbrella, backpack, bike and bike lock. Also, any clothing that is climate specific, if your student is headed to a warmer/colder climate than where you currently live.

How about any of YOU, have you sent kids off to college already and noticed something essential that we’ve missed?

How I Feed My Family for $100 a Month – Week 29 of 52

July 28, 2014 8 Comments

Albertsons $9.74 for the groceries

I stocked up on a few items from Albertsons last week: Tillamook yogurt $0.60 each, cornbread muffin mix {for Monkey Boy to use when I am traveling} day old garlic bread $0.99 and a few bags of goldfish crackers for $1.00 each. Not incredible deals, but not bad either.

Barter with Mrs. Hillbilly

Mrs. Hillbilly came by last week to see if I had any extra tomato cages and fencing so her son could expand his garden. In exchange she gave me 2 pounds of pecans and a jar of plum jelly from her mother’s farm in Mississippi. Not to shabby if you ask me.

Local Fruit Stand $7.29

$1.00 pineapples, $1.99 for a head of cauliflower and a few other odds and ends were the deals I found at our local fruit stand this week.

Church Dinner Leftovers- Free

The Guy from Guam dropped off a whole pile of leftovers from his church picnic on Saturday. He’s in charge of the cooking there and always makes the most delicious homemade food. I didn’t even know what the heck was in the rice or the sack of mystery rolls but Holy smokes it was good.

The HH has been friends with him for over 20 years now and he just shows up at our house once or twice a year and brings us leftovers. I typically give him some of our homemade jam as a thank you… this time around it was raspberry jam. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Smith Brothers Milk - Sponsored

And last but not least, our milk order from Smith Brother’s Farm for this week. Milk, it does a body good.

How did you do this week?

Any mystery men show up at your door with food?

How to Make a Strawberry Pin Cushion

July 27, 2014 2 Comments

Need a new pin cushion? This strawberry pin cushion is super easy to make and turned out soooo cute. I think it would be the perfect addition to a DIY sewing kit. If you have a wedding gift, birthday gift, etc. you could totally throw together a sewing kit with this cute little nugget in it. Custom is all the rage.

You’ll need:

6-8″ square of strawberry looking fabric {I used velvet}
Small piece of green felt or wool
Thread
Needle
Scissors
Stuffing {I used wool scraps}

Directions:

Draw a 6-8″ circle on a piece of paper. This will serve as your pattern. Cut it out and pin it to your fabric. Using your pattern as a guide, cut a circle from the pattern.

Cut the fabric circle in half. {Each half will make one pin cushion.}

Take one half of the circle and fold it in half, right sides together {it should look like a triangle with a rounded top now. Pin it down.

Sew along the straight side of the fabric, curving your stitch around the point of the triangle to create a more strawberry like bottom.

Flip the fabric right side out. Now, sew the top with a gathering stitch about 1/4″ from the top, leaving a hole on top to stuff the strawberry. Fill the strawberry with stuffing and then pull the gathering stitch shut.

Draw a little three or four leaf pattern on paper and then use it to cut out the leaves on the felt or wool {or if you are brave, just go rogue with your scissors}. Sew the felt down on top of the strawberry.

Repeat the process with the second piece of fabric, if you want two. {I personally think the strawberries look better with two “leaves”}. If you want to add a stem simply roll a 1 inch by 3 inch piece of felt or wool stitch up the sides and sew it on top of the leaves.

Way cute, way simple.

~Mavis

* I just posted two sets of strawberries on my Etsy page if anyone is interested.

Blackberry Whole Grain Crumble Bars

July 27, 2014 2 Comments

Sometimes when I’m searching for recipes to use blackberries, I tend to lean towards the dessert route. So when I saw this crumble bar recipe contained whole grains, I knew I had to give it a try. Trust me when I say you won’t even know these have whole grain in them because it’s buried so deep beneath the delicious taste! I think these are a perfect alternative to a Nutri-grain bar!

Ingredients

Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blackberry Filling:
3 cups blackberries
1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Crumble Topping:
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Crust:
Grease a 9-inch square pan or line your pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together flours, brown sugar and salt until mixture is smooth and lumps are gone. Add melted butter and vanilla and stir until combined.

Press dough evenly into prepared pan and place in freezer for 30 minutes.

Filling:
Preheat oven to 300 F.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and continue to stir while simmering until fruit thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Topping:
Place oats, flours, sugars and salt in a food processor {or blender} and process until oats are partially ground. Move mixture to a large mixing bowl and add melted butter, stirring until small clumps form.

Bake frozen crust 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and increase oven temp to 350 F. Spread blackberry filling over crust and sprinkle evenly with crumb topping.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy.

How to Make Sure Jam or Jelly Sets

July 26, 2014 6 Comments

It is always such a bummer when you go to all of the trouble of making jam or jelly only to have it not set. Even with best laid plans, sometimes, jam just doesn’t set. Still, there are a couple of ways that you can improve the odds.

First, the better the pot, the better the boil. The better the boil, the better the jam. {Say that 10 times fast.} A large pot with an extra wide bottom allows the jam to boil faster and stronger. It’s the whole more surface area touching the hot stove thing—it’s all very scientific and I won’t bore you with the details. Just remember: large, wide pot.

Get out a thermometer. The ideal temperature for jam to set is 220 degrees. You only need 212 degrees to boil. There’s a bit of a gap there that could make all the difference between jam and a yummy sauce for ice cream.

Always test the jam before you remove it from the heat. Put a little dollop onto a plate and throw it in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes, if it has started to become solid and goopish, it’s done. If it is still runny and liquidy {I’m sure that’s a word} then cook it for another 5 minutes or so.

Follow the recipe exactly. I know it is super tempting to do the impossible and make a lower sugared jam/jelly than the recipe calls for, but RESIST changing the ratios. The pectin needs the exact amount of sugar to do its job—and the pectin wants so badly to do its job. You don’t want to rob the pectin of its only purpose in life, do you? I didn’t think so.

For low pectin recipes check out Pomona’s Pectin. I’ve used it a few times and it works great.

What do you think, are there any other tips and tricks you’ve learned to make sure your jam and jelly sets?

Planting Thanksgiving Plants in July {Yes, I’m Serious!}

July 25, 2014 2 Comments

While I love me some turkey and pumpkin pie, seems odd to be thinking about Thanksgiving in July. But in my latest eHow article, Time to Plant Your Thanksgiving Veggies, I’m talking all about getting a head start on planting the veggies you’ll need for your fall garden, just not where you’d think.

I know, it’s the middle of summer, so who wants to think about Thanksgiving? We’re only supposed to be worried about harvesting our tomatoes, potatoes and beans right about now, right? Wrong.

Late July is actually the perfect time to get a jump start on planting your fall vegetable garden. Yep, you heard me. If you plan on serving some homegrown vegetables this Thanksgiving, now is the time to get those seeds planted.
