It’s spring cleaning time! I’ve been on a mission to clean out our house! Thanks to Money Saving Mom’s 4-Weeks to an Organized Home, which I have used as a general guide but not a rule book, I have successfully begun to clean out our home, without being overwhelmed! Today my mission was to clean [...]

Things I don’t do.

Some of you seem to think I’m super woman. I get comments on Facebook, the blog, and in person. I’m not sure what sparks this. Maybe my crafts? Blogging? Cooking? Whatever it is, I should tell you that it’s not true. And while I would love to bask in that glory, I need to debunk [...]

After Kirstin posted her upcycled drop-waist blouson beach dress made from men’s undershirts, I could not get this project idea out of my head! That dress was just so cute and comfy looking!

Covering Up the Monogram…

We were given a ton of hand-me-downs when we had Lilleigh. So many that between the hand-me-downs and gifts, we’ve had to buy very few clothes. But a few of the items we were given were monogrammed for their previous owner. Bummer! Especially because some of them are essentials and/or so stinkin cute that they [...]

Baby Scalloped Shorts!

Lilleigh has this odd pair of pajama pants that for the longest time I couldn’t figure out if they were intended to, in fact, be pajama pants or just pants. The polka dots and flannel made me think pajama, but the pocket placement seemed odd… Anyway we didn’t wear them much this winter because she [...]

I’ve been told that some of you don’t believe that our grocery budget is $280, that you don’t see how we can eat well and spend less. So I’ve been keeping track of my receipts to show you! I am breaking up my purchases by date and store. Greenling bin, which I received free. 2/2/12 [...]
