We all know that thrift stores are places you can find a good deal and save some cash, but you can save even more money if you know how to shop them. First, find a store that is convenient enough for you to frequent on a regular basis. Talk to the employees and find out […]
I found this tutorial for fortune cookies and thought I’d make a few for my son for Christmas. CHECK. I traced a CD, sewed the full two layers together, and then folded and sewed a spot with my machine. You can make them single layer, too (lighter weight for mailing!). The double layer hold up […]
Going through photos to add to the blog, I’m struck by the fact that my kiddos seem to always be wearing a version of the same thing. I know they have several drawers full of clothes, but I guess like anyone they have their favorites. Do your kids tend to wear the same things over […]
I will have to remember to republish this around the holidays for the rest of you, but for us, it’s perfect timing. We’re butchering turkeys this weekend if the weather holds. Of course we’re gluten free now, and rarely have any GF bread on hand, so I’d be more likely to put this on salad […]

I seem to have this NEED to waste time online. End of the day, I’m “bored” (says the woman with the mile long to do list), and I just want to ‘play’. So, I used to do the mindless Facebook games like Farmville or Treasure Island or Candy Crush or…. or…. Yeah, so I was […]
I did once have a friend draw me a picture with me as Wonder Woman circa 2003. Flattering as it was, it wasn’t quite accurate. I mean, I am quite wonderful (if I do say so myself) at some things, but many others leaving me just plain wondering. I can never seem to keep all […]
