Freaky Frugalite

Cozy winter blankies may come and go, but Livvy will always be my snuggly little baby. :awe:

She’d like to make friends, actually. But then they start yipping and she runs away. She’s getting bolder though. Look how she sits in front of them. LOL. She swishes her tail, watching them run around like maniacs, barking their little heads off. Ya gotta love cats and dogs. Cheap entertainment. HAHAH! Hey, here’s a [...]

It’s not only you, my dear blog readers, who have been woefully neglected while I have been consumed with my home renovation. Look at that pitiful face! My daughter got some pet Yorkie mix dogs. So Livvy is a tad peeved. And I have been so busy. I’ve neglected her chin scritches. I am such [...]

My lovely blogging friend Karen at Karen & Gerard Zemek has a neat post about pets. Their dog, Abby Dabby Doo (don’t you just LOVE that name!) was featured in their local Ohio newspaper. So Karen decided to give every pet the chance to be famous with her Pet Blog Hop. It looked like fun [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ashworth College. All opinions are 100% mine. When you’re a young mom, you kinda get sucked into motherhood, BIG time. I know I did.

The 50-year old toilet broke today. The Hubs needed a comfortable place to sit, to read the instruction manual for the new one. Dat’ll do. If you;re wondering why my house is such a disaster, it’s because we’re renovating part of it. Read the gory details here.

You may see sponsored posts a TAD more frequently this week, with fewer posts filled with my inane charming wit and personality (although I do try to inject it into the sponsored posts as well). That’s because we are gutting the downstairs of my home this week. And I’m exhausted. And I don’t *feel* like [...]

I staggered in to the kitchen this morning, my nose following the delicious scent of coffee that The Hubs had got going (he IS a doll). He was up before me, so Livvy (our cat) jumped out of bed and followed him down the stairs to the cat food area. By the time I crawled [...]

We’ve been dreaming of a new kitchen for YEARS, literally. I’ve lived here for 13 years, and never liked the orange laminate countertops and dark brown ugly cupboards (nor the the green/brown/yellow floor tiles, yick). But now that we are on the precipice of a NEW and IMPROVED (not to mention, electrified!) kitchen… I have [...]

Wow. Spring is a busy time for me, but. Wow. On rainy days, I’m here in front of the computer, pounding out how-to articles for a few companies. On sunny days, I’m out in the garden, trying to spruce it up before I plug in the seeds and then totally ignore it til harvest time, [...]
