I’m tired from running around every day to football practice and then catching up on chores every night until 11pm.
The weather is gorgeous out. I would LOVE to stay [...]

I was pleasantly surprised that they haven’t really changed the lay out of the store (yippee, I can still [...]

My response to them was that once you have kids….
Procrastination is no longer an option!
I was thinking of that today while I was running an errand. (at lunch, [...]

Announcement!
Finally, that announcement that I kept promising to post.
So you all remember that I kept referring to June as my Hell Month.

Heartbreak
Did you hear that noise? That was my heart breaking…

EVERYTHING WAS LOST!
There wasn’t even a single thing left that even felt cold.
WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Got insurance?
I have never particuarly thought of insurance as something frugal.

A dear co worker lost her home and two pets yesterday to a fire.
Thankfully her family [...]
