I’m a true modern-day shopper. I don’t go anywhere without consulting my cell phone – before heading out to the store, during my shopping trips, and (my favorite) completely from home without having to leave my house. Yes, I fear that I would do all of my shopping online if I could. My shopping habits…
Grocery Shopping Tips – Big Family “How Do You Do It?” Series
About a week ago, I took 3 of my kids out on a shopping trip. Since my kids have been in school full time for the last 2 years, and because I have a couple of amazing built-in babysitters when they’re NOT in school, I had completely forgotten how difficult it is to shop with…
“How Do You Afford All Those Kids?” – Big Family “How Do You Do It?” Series
Raising kids is not cheap, and we are certainly not rolling in money around here, so I frequently hear the question, “How do you afford all those kids?” Being raised in a family of 7 was great preparation for learning how to save money, and I learned many of my best tips and tricks for…
How to Make a No-Sew Recycled T-Shirt Bag
My two oldest girls came home with a super-fun craft after camp last summer, and I have been wanting to try it out for myself for a while now. With summer break almost here (one more week for my kids!) I figured it was a perfect time, especially since these bags are perfect for carrying…

Meeting a Living Legend – Interview With Dr. Jane Goodall
Last week, I had an incredible opportunity. I was able to sit with Dr. Jane Goodall, who has spent a lifetime studying chimpanzees and paving the way for better treatment of animals. Dr. Goodall met with our group of 20 bloggers right after we saw the premiere of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee (she was at the premiere…
When It’s Not Worth “Going Cheap” – #CloroxLounge
In a house full of seven people, I have to buy a ton of things in bulk. That little tidbit shouldn’t surprise you at all considering the name of this site…. Not only do I try to shop frugally and smart, but I have an open conversation with my kids about how they can tell…
It’s Allergy Season – How I am Breathing Easier
I love the Spring. I love opening my windows and breathing the fresh air. I love feeling the warm breeze and pulling out my sandals (and stashing away my heavy winter shoes). I love the blossoms and the flowers and the COLORS everywhere. But I don’t love what the flowers and the blossoms and the…
