So, one of the ways I plan on saving money while on this one-income budget is to STOP CUTTING AND COLORING MY HAIR. It amazes me how much it costs to get my hair done anymore. How can so many moms have short hair??? Short cuts require cuts more often, which add$ up. Plus, when [...]

Saturday Derailment and Guilt
Saturday night was a rough night. Had my friend watching Ellie so we could go out to a birthday dinner. I was excited to get out of the house with the hubby and see some friends we don’t see very much. I had myself all prepared with what I was going to order. I knew [...]
Operation Purple Dress
As if competing in the Iron Girl Triathlon in August isn’t motivation enough to workout, I have two weddings to attend this summer. My brother is getting married in July and I want to look GREAT in all the family pictures. AND, I’m matron of honor in my friends wedding in August. When my friend [...]
License to be silly and never going back
I’ve always been a fan of singing in the car. In fact, I’m also a big fan of singing the instrumental parts, something that my college boyfriend used to say was terribly annoying. What a booger. First, it is just so fabulous that my husband approves of my singing and will often sing along. God, [...]
She looks good in blue, damnit!
Most days I keep my butterbean in PJs. (I figure she should enjoy it while it’s still sort of socially acceptable). But, when I feel like getting her dressed up for people, this is currently my go-to outfit… It’s blue and I think she looks GREAT in blue. Why isn’t there more blue out there [...]
Baby in a Bar – We were those people.
We were hungry. We were out of food. We had a Restaurant.com certificate for a sports bar. Yup, you can probably guess the rest. We were THOSE PEOPLE. In our defense, bars are smoke-free in Maryland and Eleanor has always liked loud places in the past. The louder the restaurant, the more likely she is [...]
Big budgeting overview of a small budget
Luckily, we have found a way to live within our means despite my lost income. There used to be a lot of other expenses in our budget. But, here’s what we’re left with. Here is a little more clarification on some of these categories and expenses: (some are more obvious than others) THE FUNDS [...]
Children of the Cloth…cloth diapering, that is.
During my pregoship, my friend Rebecca turned me on to the idea of cloth diapering by sharing a couple of blog posts with me. Specifically, Young House Love’s “The Much Requested Cloth Diapering Post” Domestic Adventure’s “From the Bottom of our…Bottom” They share a lot of good info, that I don’t intend on repeating here. [...]
SportCount – Innovations for the Zombie Swimmer
My wits are not with me these days. And, even before the kiddo, I always had trouble keeping track of how many laps I’ve done. AND, IT WOULD DRIVE ME NUTS. I searched a couple weeks ago and turns out they make a ring that you wear in the water and press a button at [...]
Pin ItWeek One of GymPact – Thoughts and Reflections
It’s sad that I need my iPhone and some app to motivate me to hit the gym more often. But, I’ll get over that. I just completed one week of using GymPact. (Don’t know how much $$ I’ve raked in, though. Will add an update when I find out.) UPDATE: Found out I earned $1.72 [...]
