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…
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…
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…
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…
Moms, It’s Worth It
I watched this video for the first time sitting in a room with more than a dozen mothers. Some had babies, others toddlers. A few of us had older kids and teens, and there were a few with children who had grown. Every one of us could relate with the mom at the beginning of…
The Truth About Amusement Parks
When your children are nicknamed KitKat, Twizzler, Reese, AlmondJoy, {and one other non-Hershey candy}, Hershey Park really IS the most perfect place on earth. Yes, we’ve been home from our trip to Hershey, PA for a week and a half….but this is the first chance I’ve had to show off some of the pictures from…
A Day in Strasburg, PA
A train-lover’s paradise. A little boy’s dream land. A photographer’s ideal landscape. Even more popular than our day spent at Hershey Park, our traditional trip to Strasburg, Pennsylvania, has become one of the highlights of our nearly annual PA vacation. Unlike previous visits to the area, this time we dedicated an entire day to Strasburg,…
Hershey Gardens – Wordless Wednesday
This is a story told best in pictures, not words. Our trip to Hershey Gardens was gorgeous, but hot. Next time, I’m going when the weather won’t melt me. Happy Wordless Wednesday! PS–Make sure to stop by my current giveaways!! And don’t forget to cast a vote for Better in Bulk in the BlogLuxe Blogs…
Off to the Land of Chocolate
I’ve spent the morning packing bags and packing the van. I’m exhausted already and we haven’t even pulled out of our court. We’re off on our annual trip to Hershey Park to meet up with my mom, sister, brother in law, and niece. Since it has been an entire year since our last trip, I…
Lolli’s Guide to Savvy Parenting
I’ve been a mother now for over 13 years. If you count the time that I was pregnant with KitKat, my darling teenager, then we could just round up to 14. Fourteen years. Motherhood is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. If I’ve done my math correctly, I’ve clocked approximately 122,640…
