Some people in our ward have citrus trees that produce more fruit than their families eat, and others do not have citrus trees at all but would love to eat the fruit. My proposal is that all who have extra fruit put their names, phone numbers, and types of fruit on a list so that those of us who have no fruit trees can contact them and pick fresh delicious fruit (much better than store bought) for free! That way, people are not throwing away fruit that went bad. I think it’s a win-win situation. Following is the list made on Sunday. For those who signed up that wanted fruit, please just contact one of these sisters who has the fruit you want. If you’d like to add your name to the giving list, please “reply to all” with the info or email me at lindsaymilitello@gmail.com. Thank you sisters, I hope this benefits many people!

My Apologies
Please forgive my slacking of this sight the past couple weeks. I've had a daughter in and out of the hospital and things got a little crazy. But now I'm ready to get us all back on track. Be prepared in the coming weeks for simple inexpensive holiday ideas, new recipes and savings where ever I can find them.
