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 [...]

Greedy 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 [...]

Saving money on toys
Who needs to spend a lot of money on toys when you can reuse your recycling as instant entertainment? What random household objects do your kids like to play with?
Apparently you can dye deviled eggs.
I made deviled eggs for Sunday brunch with some friends and a thought occurred to me… Can I dye them? And, apparently the answer is YES! I made a couple bowls of water, egg dye tablets, and little salt. Then, I placed the egg white halves in the bowls. I thought it might be cool [...]
Yard Sale Jackpot!
Looks like we didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot, after all. But, weekends in Spring can be a great time to find some steals at yard sales in your area! Think of all those people in the midst of cleaning out… I almost drove past this yard sale, but something caught the corner of my [...]
