Well, it’s cold and snowy again. I needed to take my 6-month-old to Tiny Twisters, her (almost) 2-year-old brother’s gymnastics class. She outgrew her shoes recently and she has some beautiful new summer sandles just waiting to be worn. That wouldn’t be happening today, so I brok out her brother’s old shoes. Clearly we are […]

Hollow core doors: budget building material

I thought, since the Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches and Egg Breakfast Muffins were such a hit, I should share another recipe that is so quick and easy to prepare in a large batch and freezes well for an on-the-go snack. These Pizza Snackers are great for a small meal or a big snack. Such […]
I love this container! I got it for a great price at TJ Maxx. It has a deep insert on the side and a top shelf to hold two cute matching utensils. We have a cucumber salad, pulled pork sandwich, pretzels, carrots, and a cheese bunny with a candy beaded collar.

Saving money + making lunches = good day
Don’t cha just love productive days? I had 5 full hours kid free! I made some calls to lower some bills (clinic and cable) and ended up reducing a $700 bill and cutting our cable by $30 each month! I love that – I really feel like I’m making this whole staying home thing work! […]
