If you’re a mom, you’re busy. It doesn’t matter what you do with your time: whether you work or stay home, volunteer or home school, cook up a storm or craft, not to mention driving the kids from activity to activity. Being a mom is the definition of being busy.<br>

So i didn't have a chance to blog about all the cool bargains i found and my cooking series.<br />
<br />
But i promise, expect a flush of blog post the coming weekend. I have a lot to talk about and show.<br />
<br />
So again, here is what to come:<br />
<br />
1. Fashion bargains i found over the weekend<br />
2. Cooking series on home make budget friendly baking.<br />
3. Bargain for Mens fashion,ie, my hubby's finds, I may even ask him to be a guest blogger =)<br />
4. Something all mothers have issues with (finding children's clothes for less). My son grows out of clothes like its not tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Be fashionista but frugal, ladies and gentleman =)<br />
<br />
See yall this weekend, ya hear!<br />

Chapati or Sabayat is a round, layered flat bread common in most East African countries and West Asia particularly India. The bread is slightly made different in each country but basically look the same. In Somalia it is called sabayat and can be eaten as main dish or as a snack. For lunch, I usually make the dough in the morning and keep in room temperature area, before I roll the chapati out.<br>

In addition to that, we all know that cooking can also save money. when you cook from scratch sometimes it can cost less than buying it a ready made version of the food. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span><br>
Malawax is a famous Somali pancake that is usually eaten for breakfast. It is similar to the famous anjerro, but is usually thinner, softer, sweeter and much more oiley! This pancake is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. It can be made and done around 20-25 minutes.<br>
<div>
<br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So i missed eating Malawah (crepes) and last week my mom told me she started making them every Monday as an alternative bread for breakfast. Its sweet and can be eaten with about anything.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to make this you need: all purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and water.</span><br>

<br>
We all want to find things to put in our nick-nacks. As a mom and also a home maker, i try my best to be in budget with everything.<br>
<br>
One of the things i had issue with is storing my hijabs (scarfs). I didn't have enough dresser drawer to store approx. 50+ scarfs. So i started asking around my friends what is the best but budget friendly hijab (scarf) organizer.<br>
<br>
I came across this product....<br>

Every time you hear anything about quality eye shadows, automatically people say Mac. But the problem with Mac is how much it cost, a WHOPPING $15 per eye shadow. Who in their right mind can afford that, unless you are a Pro-makeup artist or a YOUTUBE Guru, i say avoid it. There might be a light at the end of the tunnel for those of us who can't afford a $15 tag price for one eye shadow.<br>
