I have been trying for days to think of my next post. And I've been drawing a blank.I don't currently have any frugal tips. Nothing interesting I have been thinking about. No spring cleaning updates to speak of really. Nothing exciting going on.And I'm tired. So. Tired. This whole "mama to a toddler" thing is far more exhausting than the whole "mama to a newborn" thing. In a very different way. Sleep does not seem to make a difference. I'm just tired. All. The. Time. Worn out is probably a … [Read more...]
Surprise in the Mailbox
A year ago, I entered a giveaway for a Keurig Brew Over Ice tumbler. You know, those kind that are really popular right now. Plastic with a straw. Was told I got one and to expect it in 6-8 weeks. Never saw it. Entered another giveaway for one a few months back. Never saw it. Oh well. Guess what was in my mailbox Monday? Yup. Finally got here! The coupon attached expired last August. They did put a new one in the box but that is how long it took to actually get this. I must say, … [Read more...]
Spring Cleaning!
It has been so nice up here recently. Sunny, warm (60s/70s), so amazing after a long winter. Perfect weather for lots of playing outside and spring cleaning.

Many other things going on too. The typical "clean the windows" thing is a big one. General deep cleaning of the house. Even vacuuming out the van after a … [Read more...]
Shopping Trip…4.25.13
I'm a little disappointed in my shopping trip last week. Not in myself, just in general. The flyer said "select varieties" on sale for Cheerios. Usually that involves the original. It didn't this time. It was all the fancy stuff like frosted and chocolate. Basically, nothing for the baby. So I was not able to do a big and cheap stock up on those like I had hoped.I was able to get more cheap cranberry juice. We should be all set for a number of months now. I hope. Maybe. All of the above:6 … [Read more...]
She May Be Grumpy But She’s a Great Baby
Whine, whine, whine, complain, yawn, whine some more.That is how I am feeling today with a touch of jealousy.Abby is teething. Again. She is not a good teether. And while people mean well, being told the same things over and over again, not helpful. Teething rings, cold washclothes, Orajel, baby Advil, teething tablets....none work well or at all for Abby. The tablets and the Advil are the only things that put a dent in the pain and fussiness. Small dent.She screamed every 30-45 minutes last … [Read more...]
Word of the Year: An Update
This year I decided to choose a word of the year. That is basically a word I want to live. I talked about it in this post back in January.The three main areas I wanted to focus on were: Finance, Physical, and Material. Here are my original goals with my updates.-Financially---I want to pay off my smallest student loan. I want to keep the savings account at no less than $500 at most times. So far so good on this one. The smallest student loan is paid off and the car is paid off! The … [Read more...]
