Welcome to my blog. My name is Anita. As a stay-at-home mum, I do whatever I can to offset our family's bills. Of course, that includes doing a lot of cooking and baking from scratch, but it also includes making sure our concrete is well maintained and laying patios, pathways and landscaping borders by myself.

To inspire you and to help you, I decided to create this blog. Enjoy!
