I had decided against posting this picture for I Heart Faces’ Purple theme this week because it wasn’t purple enough. Plus, I was away from the computer and without the internet for so long, I figured I was too late. But in a last-minute-internet’s-back-on effort, I decided to enter it anyway. It may not be…
Why Am I Sitting Here?
Last week, it was an earthquake. This week it was a tornado. I’m a little tired of freaks of nature distrupting my routine. Today, I posted these tweets on my twitter account: Argh! My internet is out, my dishwasher is broken, and my friend is here cuz her power is still out. Dark ages or…
Gathering Coupons – Budget Bootcamp #4
It’s time for Challenge #4 in Budget Bootcamp. This is the time to really get serious, friends. Last week, Clair mentioned, “We’re gonna get you yet, girl!” and I fear that we have entered unfamiliar territory this week. This is the part I’ve been waiting for. The Challenge: Simply gather coupons this week. Why? From…
Cooling Off….GMYBSPSF
It’s HOT here. Saturday is supposed to be record-breaking temps in the 100s. If it weren’t for the activity we have with other kids at church in the morning, and the wedding reception of the century in the afternoon, I’d just spend the entire day at the pool, sipping ice cold soda. (Disclaimer–the reception really…
When the Earth Shook
Mama Kat’s last writing prompt stood out to me this week: Earthquake! Where were you when it happened? …probably because last Friday we had an earthquake in suburban Maryland – a pretty rare event. While some people were quite shaken by the earthquake (pun intended) my kids were thrilled to have felt their first earthquake….
Parents’ Day
Our “lazy days of Summer” are not so lazy. They’re busy; filled to capacity with fun. Last Friday was the Summer’s first Parents’ Day at Summer Camp. The kids love showing off their projects, their dances, and their favorite people. AJ is absolutely in love with his counselor and talks about him constantly at home….
My Living Stories + $25 iTunes GiftCard!
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…
