I’m a Momma first, and a Customer later
This morning, I was feeling a little cooped up. It was rainy and dark, and my baby girl slept in until almost 11. I decided that this was as good a day as any to go shopping. My husband needed more work clothes and I needed to figure something out for dinner. I’m a cheapskate,
Toddler Chores
Okay, stay with me here… I remember watching an episode of Nanny 911, where a mother was desperately trying to get everyone ready to get out the door in the morning. Her children were at her pant legs, whining that they didn’t know where their shoes were, that they needed their clothes on, that they
Sometimes, You read something you really NEEDED to hear…
The other day, a friend shared a link on Facebook, to an article by Alissa at Creative with Kids. It was entitled You Know What Will Ruin My Kids? or Banishing the Should Mama Read moreNo Explanation NeccessaryI am such a “Should” Momma, at least in my head. I look around my house and think, “If I was a good
IMAGINATION MOVERS!!!
Our house is a Netflix House. We don’t have cable (or we sort-of do, but it isn’t hooked up to our television – on purpose) or antenna television, so we don’t see anything unintentionally. As a result, until yesterday, I didn’t even know that Imagination Movers had a show on Disney Junior. Apparently, they do. And…
The Hand-me-WAY-down Dress
When this shirt didn’t fit, I wasn’t surprised, or upset. BUT… I KNEW that fabric would be great for something! There had to be something that I could use it for, right? When I happened upon this 20 minute ruffle dress tutorial today on Baby Making Machine, I knew that I could turn it into a dress… and
There’s Something Fishy about That Boy!
We’re all getting over a nasty cold in our house, so we’ve been doing a lot of freezer runs for popsicles. Today, when my son went searching for a popsicle, I jokingly asked if he wanted a “fish popsicle.” My husband had dried anchovies in the freezer for some Korean recipes that he has been
Oh Germs… What’d we ever do to deserve you!?
Sometimes, I feel like my little family is ALWAYS sick. We try to eat healthy. Lots of fruits and veggies, a lot less processed stuff than we used to… We drink orange juice and whatnot… Heck, my three year old even likes spinach. Seriously! But… such is life. We are home-bodies, most of the time,
Potty Training – COMPLETE!! (For kiddo #1, anyway…)
Potty Training has certainly been a long road in this house. It started with little baby potties and an excited little guy. LONG story shorter, we’ve tried potties, trainers, pull-ups, underwear, different seats, bribery, stickers and lots of praise… We seemed to go from success to diapers over and over. And in the midst, there
Wall Stickers – Thank you, Dollar Tree!!
I am not a fan of bare walls. In fact, I’m a mural fan, myself. My husband? All about resale – i.e. neutral. Hmmm… One day I will get some color on the walls. In the mean time, I try to spruce things up here and there on the cheap. When we first moved into
Pom Pom Pushers – Busy Bag Idea
I came across this idea on Money Saving Mom, and HAD to try it! I figured that my one year old would enjoy it and I expected my three year old to be bored quickly. I was mistaken. They BOTH loved it! Read moreDinosaur Tails!The photo on the right shows my son with his tongue out.
