Now that the weather is getting a little nicer, we are taking full advantage of some free nearby parks. Saturday, we finally got around to checking out Meadowbrook Park by the Park-and-Ride off Rt100 and Rt 103. It was a fabulous time. The ground was soft and there were a lot of play options. Bathroom [...]

Visit to Pump It Up
Yesterday, a large group of us brought our kiddos over to the local Pump It Up for the Pop-in Playtime. It’s essentially a big warehouse filled with gigantic inflatable slides, bounce houses, obstacle courses and more. Great thing was, it was free for her because she’s still under 2. It was our first time there [...]
Neighborhood Christmas Light Walk
One cheap way to do a fun holiday outing is to do a walk through a well-lit neighborhood. If your neighborhood doesn’t have enough spirit, drive over to one that does, park, and walk around. We did this one night with Eleanor, and it will probably become someone we do fairly often through this month [...]
Getting Toys for Free from the Library
Put your money back in your wallet and save some dough by RENTING toys for your little one. Howard County’s library system has toys to check out, in addition to their great selection of books, CDs, and DVDs. The beauty is toys are used over and over again. So, it’s great for the environment, it [...]
Pin ItUpcycling Day 9 – Newspaper to Wrapping Paper #freefromtrash
Ultimately, it’s probably best if you read your news online and not in a paper-paper. But, I get the Sunday editions because I want the coupons. I love to save the Comics section of the paper. It makes great wrapping paper! Tie it up with some twine or ribbon or make a bow like yesterday’s [...]
Pin ItUpcycling Day 8 – Magazine to Gift Bow #freefromtrash
Magazines usually have some really pretty pages, so one thing that is easy and might save you a little money is to make your own bows for wrapping. First, cut your page lengthwise into 9 strips (each less than 1 in wide). Leave 3 strips the full length, cut three shorter by about an inch, [...]
Pin ItSaying Goodbye to all the Clutter
Does anyone else feel uneasy or anxious when there’s just “too much” stuff around you? I do. I’ve spent the last month or so, slowly cleaning out our house of all the excess stuff we have accumulated (and I still have a long way to go). It’s unbelievable how many things have moved with me [...]
Pin ItCoffee, I’m breaking up with you.
Dear (cup of) Joe, I loved making love to you in my Keurig. For the first time, it was so nice that I could have my single cup of whatever flavor I want and it was perfect every time. Our relationship was strained back in the Mr. Coffee days. How much coffee to put in? [...]
Pin ItSaving Money One Haircut at a Time
Cutting Rob’s hair is something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time, but I wasn’t confident enough to try until now. Sherry at Young House Love recently posted a tutorial on cutting John’s hair that was SUPER helpful and gave me the confidence. (Plus, I figured the “Wow, it actually smells like lasagna” [...]
Pin ItLoving 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. [...]
