Happy Birthday, Little Man

I can’t believe my son is turning one today.  Did you know that both of my babies came on their due dates?  How unusual is that?!?!  Little Man was a short labor.  He was only 14 hours and I loved every minute of it.  I am totally willing to do it all over again.  I […]

Thanks, Karen for a wonderful weekend

So <wink> Karen came up this weekend so we could knock out the beginning of your surprise.  Little did we know it would literally take us 4 days to get it started.  We did and now you are one step closer to fun!  I have to say that I learned some things this weekend about […]

Cinderella

Part of being thrifty is knowing how to spend my time and money wisely. The whole tragedy with Steven Curtis Chapman has broken my heart. I can’t imagine what that family is going through. My DH and I have talked about how we would react to such a tragedy. I can’t imagine […]

Can’t win for losing

Looks like I will be having surgery soon.  We are at my mom’s and my carpal tunnel is HORRIBLE!  As I am typing, my hand is completely numb.  Guess I will have to find another source of income as I really don’t have enough vacation time for a 6 week absence.  I hate being so […]

Thrifty Mother’s Day gifts

Now that Mother’s Day is coming in a few days, I thought I would share a few thrifty ideas for Mother’s Day.

Karen has already talked about a great craft idea of painting something for mom’s.
A family portrait from Sears is very reasonable.  Just go to Sears Photo and find the coupons for free portraits.
There is […]
