Why do most kids go through a picky eater phase? My first kid has us convinced that she was a great eater. She liked just about everything. Then about the time she turned three, that all changed. She was suddenly fairly picky about what she ate and rarely ate much, if any, dinner. It was a highly aggravating situation. Thankfully, we were a little more prepared for it when kid #2 came along. She hit picky eater much earlier, pretty much the first bite she ever had. She has a long list of food … [Read more...]
Happy, Frugal Life- Februrary 2018
I'm starting something new. Well, new and old. Long ago I used to do two different posts a month, one on how we saved money that month and one on things I was currently really into (TV shows, music, activities, etc). I stopped doing those and focused most my efforts on bringing you posts on how to do things or talking about being a mom. Those are great things and things I want to write about! My main goal in blogging is to help you on your motherhood and frugal living journeys. Buuutt....I … [Read more...]
Personality Type and Managing Money
It doesn't matter if you are an extrovert or introvert, an INTJ or ESFP, a blue or a red, your personality type affects everything you do.

Knowing how your personality type and managing money affect each … [Read more...]
Blog Name Change…Logger’s Wife is Now Happy, Frugal Mama
No, you're not seeing things. The time finally came for a little bit of a change. Logger's Wife was originally named that right after I was married 10 years ago when I started the blog. As time went on and things morphed from an online journal to the blog it is today, it was obvious I needed a different name as well. My blog is about helping you love motherhood and life on a tight budget. My name needed to reflect that. For now, my address is still www.happyfrugalmama.com but that will be … [Read more...]
How to Not Feel Behind All Day
I think we all have those days. By the end of the day, we have no idea what we did. The kitchen sink is still full, the laundry is still in multiple different states, and the floor needs to see a mop. You know you were busy all day but you just feel overwhelmed and behind. You tell yourself that tomorrow will be better but tomorrow comes and it's the same. Somehow the next day you manage to get caught up...but the day after you are right back to being behind again. It's so infuriating. I know … [Read more...]
Budget-Friendly Valentine’s Day Date Ideas
Valentine's Day is coming up. Bring on the candlelight dinners at the best restaurant in town, dozen of red roses, high-end chocolate, and expensive jewelry that that lady in that commercial just gushed over. Right? Right??!!?! Wrong. When you're on a tight budget, those things just aren't practical or even possible. Many couples on a budget just choose to forgo celebrating all together. If you and your significant other want to celebrate Valentine's Day but don't have the money to drop on … [Read more...]
