This should be fun

Hi, I’m Maria.  I really never thought I would be writing a blog.  A few friends suggested I share the hints I have learned along the way.  About 10 years ago as my kids got older and went off to college I was left on my own and I realized I had way to many hours to fill.  I started learning new things,  woodworking, stained glass, ceramics.  I would go to classes at my local high school.  When I moved it was harder to find classes but I still wanted to learn,  luckily I found YouTube.  It is such a great resource for so many interests.  One of my favorite hobbies is saving money and I now make my own laundry & dishwasher detergents as well as all natural body butters an lip balms all thanks to YouTube.  99% of the things I share will be from there.  Blogging is very new to me and since I like to try something new every year I figured why not.  I hope you enjoy learning new things and saving money with little effort.     Maria
