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…
Bucket List
Bucket List: a list of 100 things you want to do before you turn 100. Go on another cruise. Have grandchildren. Fix my varicose veins. Document every year of my kids’ life in a photobook or scrapbook. Travel to Italy. Speak (again) at a conference. Send all of my kids to college. Buy a house…
Smile
Inspired by MamaKat’s Writing Prompt and Allison’s Thank You Journal, here is a list of things that are sure to put a smile on my face when I may or may not be feeling like smiling…. Finding a $20 bill in the laundry Chocolate (eating it, smelling it, cooking with it) Hearing “Mommy? I looooove…
Budget Boot Camp
When Claire and Beth invited me to participate in their 90-day Budget Boot Camp last month, I answered immediately with a resounding YES! I have always considered myself a frugal person. I shop the deals and I cook my meals from scratch. But the last two years have been extremely detrimental to my finances and…
From Mischievous To Mothering
A child with lots of character, from the time she was kicking me non-stop in the womb, Necco has always been a joy. Today she turns 11. Necco has changed a lot over the years, from a mischievous little girl with a bob and highlights that made all the moms jealous…..to a confident and creative…
Bounce House

There’s Something About a New Purse
…..especially one that you pick out because you really like it and then find out at the register that it is on clearance sale for $4.90. Yes, $4.90. It was 90% off. Happy Mother’s Day to me! Linked to Wordless Wednesday at 5 Minutes for Mom
Bad Pregnancy Dreams {Guest Post}
If you have read my blog at all in the past, you’ve probably heard me mention my friend Safire, a local friend who I do everything with (including washing our hair in front of a video camera!) Safire is the mother of Butterfly (who turns 5 today) and twin 2 year olds, Pirate and Professor….
Feeling Empowered
I just returned from a half-day women’s conference at my church. I love what conferences can do to fill my bucket, to give me the boost that I need to keep pressing on. The first class I attended was entitled “Finding a Healthy Life Balance,” taught by a local couples and family therapist. What a…
