Clothes shopping only I could manage

My girlfriend, Heather, and I laugh all the time about the fact that only the crazy and stupid stuff happens to me!  My dad and I used to pick on my mom when she would come home with a crazy story that happened to her on her trip to the store.  Now I am turning […]

Be Frugal on Your Fall and Winter Clothing Purchases

Well, it is the time of year again to start switching out our kids’ clothes.  I have to admit that I dread it–all the washing, sorting, and putting away.  Downstairs I keep totes full of clothes for my kids for the seasons.  There are also clothes that are too big them to wear right now.
