Man I must be cheap!

After 2 kids, I have noticed a pattern when dressing my infants.  Until they start walking outside, I usually don’t put them in shoes.  Their feet are so hot and sweaty all year round that I just let them go bare footed or in socks.  Not to mention, this is the cheapest way to dress […]

K-Mart sale

Karen talked about the sale at K-Mart so I went this morning.  I wasn’t impressed with my store.  They had a lot on sale but not for Turkey Butt.  I am hoping that the big consignment sale coming to town next week will be good for us since we will shop at the sale for […]

My shoe dilemma

I have extremely bad feet. I am not talking about the gross kind. I mean that I had surgery on my feet when I was 25. Every time I take a step, I sheer off part of my big toe joint due to the way my legs and hips are formed. […]
