We left the house at 4:50am. And, of course, Ellie finally got back to sleep just in time for us to get out at the airport. Ellie was pretty interested in the airport and security line (lots of people-watching to do). After a little DD breakfast, I let her down to crawl a bit before [...]

I’m leaving, on a jet plane…
The bean and I are headed out to CA to visit family. Plane ride…EEK! Rob won’t be joining us, but I will have my mother with me, thank goodness. The packing has been so anxiety-producing for me, but here’s the gist: Filled a LARGE suitcase with all the stuff we’ll need when we get there [...]
Pin ItThe Little Trouble-Maker and Upcoming MIA
Ellie is getting out of control. In the last two days she has gotten very good at pulling herself into a standing position and now she’s getting into the furniture more. The other day she crawled her way through the coffee table. Then, today she tried to crawl through a side table and then tried [...]
Paint with all the colors of the wind… (A Post on Clotheslining)
Clotheslines are up. Ordered a Crawford-Lehigh RC20 20-Feet Retractable Clothesline for inside the porch and a 40-ft one for the yard. (Our town is one big HOA that requires outdoor clotheslines to be retracted when not in use.) Installation was pretty darn simple (two screws and one screw-hook thing). I’ll use the line in the [...]
Pin ItEarth Day Resolutions
Happy Earth Day! I feel like it’s New Years all over again, as I’m finding myself making all sort of resolutions for Earth Day: Get our new bike trailer set up so I can take Ellie further without driving. We used our REI 20% coupon and dividends to pick one up. Our town is set [...]
Loving Harris Teeter’s Super Doubling and Ellie FINALLY likes shopping
My first experience with SUPER double couponing at Harris Teeter. If you didn’t know, Harris Teeter is super doubling until Tuesday (where they double coupons with face values of up to $1.98 instead of just $0.99.) Got Johnsonville chicken sausages, too, but forgot them in the freezer for this pic. Saved $98 just with coupons. [...]
Adventures in Babyproofing
It’s official. Ellie can crawl! Now that she’s getting into everything, we’re working on ways to baby-proof. The hardest part was blocking off the top of the stairs. Did you have trouble with this? Our railing posed a problem by starting halfway over the first stair and we didn’t like having a gap there. We [...]
Pin ItGreedy for Savings and Lessons Learned
I can see where couponing can become addicting. Lucky for my husband, we don’t have a place to hoard provisions (but, not so lucky if the zombie apocalypse starts any time soon). Ahh! I spent a couple hours this weekend… 1) Checking out the grocery circular. 2) Adding the items we need to my shopping [...]
Real Diaper Week and Giveaway
Ellie says good-morning and don’t forget: Check out my guest post over at Domestically Seasoned today and stay tuned there the rest of the week for more Cloth Diapering hoopla. The giveaway is under way! Enter today! Ends this weekend.
Clothes and Shoes and Toys, oh my!
As you know, I love a good deal and going green. So, buying things used allows me to be do both! There are TWO local children’s consignment expos this weekend. Wee-cycle Mart TotSwap I planned on hitting up both today, but did so well at the first one that I decided to head on home [...]
