Living better, spending less.
I took my almost-three-year-old out to play the other night while my husband was working in the yard. She had a few restrictions on where she was allowed to play, due to the yard work going on, and after a while she started getting antsy and bored.
“Evie, can you bring me four different kinds of [...]
Yesterday, I baked two lasagnas, because I am a good wife and my husband needed more frozen lunches for his stockpile. I always freeze our leftovers into individual meals so he never has to take cardboard frozen food to work with him. Anyway, they were ready to put in the oven, but my daughter, who [...]

Our house is in a state of disheaval because we painted this weekend. Because of that, and because we shifted some furniture around, some of Evelyn’s larger toys were moved. Her kitchen is across the dining room from where it was and situated so that she can walk all the way around it. (We used [...]
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
