{a lesson in frugal shopping}

This post could just as easily have been titled “my disappointing day at the stores”.  But really and truthfully, it’s not that big of a deal…and it’s definitely not to first time I’ve written about my less than stellar shopping experience. If you’ll recall my shopping list from earlier in the week, you’ll probably notice that I was NOT able […]

This week I received my first box from TasteGuru and I have to tell you….I am seriously impressed!  Since I started eating gluten-free a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been on the lookout for products that fit into my new diet.  My box arrived with LOTS of new things for me to try out.  And I’m not talking […]

{disorganized DVDs no more}

Earlier this year I came across this post on Simply Organized and was completely inspired!!  We own about 50 kiddo movies that my littles have made an absolute disaster of!!  This idea looked like the perfect solution for our dilemma.  But it took me a while to get it done.  I purchased these DVD sleeves […]

{shopping results ~ 7/1/2013}

As promised, I’m here to share my results from yesterday’s grocery outing.  With everything I was able to pick up yesterday added to the $160 we spent last week stocking up on all different kinds of meat, we will be completely set on food for at least the next month….possibly longer. So, I mentioned that […]

{time to shop – 6/30/13}

I always find it very interesting to check out the sale ads for the different drug stores each week.  In my area we only have CVS and Walgreens as options.  Last week the “extreme” deals were primarily at CVS.  Their sale made it possible to get tons of stuff for free or seriously cheap.  This […]

{no more hiding}

I’ve recently realized that I’m something of a coward. I started this blog a year ago in the hopes that it would provide an outlet for me to express my creativity.  But I’ve found myself squelching the urge to post anything that might bring about adversity or negativity.  It just felt “safer” when it came to certain […]

{conversations with a nine year old}

Driving around town with my littles the other day, KJ informs me from the backseat that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Now, this isn’t the first time she’s mentioned this to me. And it’s clear to any and every person who meets her that she has a deep love for […]

{grace learned the hard way}

“I HATE YOU” The three words every parent dreads hearing. It seems almost impossible that this once adorable little bundle of joy that smelled of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and captured your heart a little more with each new expression…..could turn around and shatter that same heart into a million tiny pieces. But let me tell […]
