i have started to smarten up around the house-

-ive been turning off appliances at the wall.
-using vinegar for cleaning! (i posted about this not long ago, i wrote down all the tips the ladies gave me and stuck it to the laundry wall and it has helped me so much!)
-go through your pantry/fridge/freezer before you make a meal plan & shopping list! i do this the night before i go shopping when dd is in bed.
- go through kids toys & books.. is there anything you can sell on ebay? and then use that money to buy replacement 2nd hand toys/books. i was doing this till dd #2 was on the way.. now i just pack away the things dd#1 is too big for to use again, but i will sell again when dd#1 no longer uses stuff.

hmm thats all i can think of at the moment!
