Have you ever wondered how mothers managed outings with kids before the days of iPod touches and iPhones? I do. Despite the fact that I survived the early childhood of the majority of my five kids (and I dare say THEY all survived those years, too!) I don’t know if I’d want to go iPod-less…

Generics – Budget Bootcamp Week 3
This week’s challenge: You may only put generic items into your cart. These can be store brands only or no-name products. At the end of the week we’re gonna see how much you saved from the products you normally purchase! My results: I have to admit: this week’s challenge was not much of a challenge…
Over My Head
Mother Nature is wonderful. Children get too old for piggy-back rides just about the same time they get too heavy for them. ~Author Unknown If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders. ~Abigail Van Buren Some people think I’m crazy for having 5 kids. Luckily, I’m…
Chic Click Carnival
I said I wasn’t going to blog today (it’s a busy day with a trip to visit some old friends after church) but I found myself with some extra time this morning, so I figured I’d link up to this week’s Chic Click Carnival. Some introductions: I am Lolli, mother of 5 kids, ages 13…
Kids Are Parrots (Watch Out!)
Role Model or Potty Mouth? I am not and have never been one to swear. Swearing makes me uncomfortable (including made up “safe” swearing….it sounds just as bad to me). In this video, I related much more to the hesitant husband. And, yes, like the wife in this video, CandyMan is a little more on…
Give Me Your Best Shot (A Little Late)
Last night, I had in my mind that today was going to be Thursday, so I apologize for those of you waiting for GMYBS to be up. I’m blaming it all on the Summer. Thanks for reminding me, Allison! This week, I caught a few pictures of my kids at the pool. If you haven’t…
Summer is No Vacation
I don’t care what everyone else says, Summer time is no vacation. Despite the common reference to Summer being a “break,” Summer time typically turns out to be a fun but tiring time of the year for us. Instead of sleeping in and relaxing on the porch, we tend to get up early every morning…
Make a List: Budget Bootcamp Week #2
This week’s Budget Bootcamp challenge was: Make a list and stick to it. If you’re at the store and want something not on the list it cannot go in the cart. This weeks’s question: How easy/difficult it is to avoid those nasty impulse buys? Do you make a list? Do you see a significant difference…
His Love Affair with Ketchup
This won’t be the first time I have blogged about Twizzler’s love affair with ketchup. This little love affair has been going on as long as I can remember….or at least as long as Twizzler had a voice to express his desire to not only eat ketchup on everything, but eat LOTS of ketchup on…
Cub Scout Day Camp
I would have a lot to say about the 6 hours I spent at cub scout day camp today (and the 2 hours driving there and back), but frankly 8 hours with seven 8-9 year old boys, in the pre-thunder storm heat and humidity, wore me completely out. Even CandyMan noticed my extreme fatigue when…
