This month Molly saves in the bathroom, but she also addresses other interesting topics such as making broth from bones (which really does produce the best soup and is frugal to boot), a delicious meal, holiday pet safety (from tinsel to electrical cords and chocolate), and showing kids how to compare the cost of store-bought and homemade products,

Of course, in this Powder Room issue, Molly also shares all sorts of information for the bathroom, from cleaning checklists to décor ideas and homemade skincare products.  I would never make my own liquid soap dispenser, but lots of crafty people would enjoy the detailed tutorial.

Among the horrors of winter are static hair, dry skin, and static clothing.  Three of this month’s articles, one about the benefits of humidity in your home, one about skin care, and one about winter hair care, address this issue.  Some of Molly’s fun, frugal, and healthy ideas are new to me and I’m eager to try them out when the cold weather appears.

Molly’s list of children’s gifts to make—or, even better, to turn into a kit for them to make—was an answer to a prayer I hadn’t even prayed yet.  I love the ideas and want to use some of them in our homeschool.

If you have drafty windows that are letting all your money fly out into the cold, you should try Dena’s trick!  I’m hoping to try it on an uninsulated door we never use.

This month Molly reviews a resource I own but had forgotten about, 31 Days to Clean:  Having a Martha House the Mary Way.   It will be helpful and soothing during the holiday bustle and inspiring for those New Year’s resolutions.

This month’s Molly quote made me laugh and set the tone for the rest the issue:

I realize that few (if any) of us refer to our “water closets” as the “powder room”…
