Freaky Frugalite

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine. I will probably get a TON of search engine traffic with THAT blog post title, won’t I? ;) My kids are teens. It wasn’t that long ago that they were in diapers (REALLY, it wasn’t!!). Well, [...]

We knew it was coming… springtime. Yes, it’s great because everything turns green again, we can open windows and breathe the fresh air again… but for my sons, who are now ITCHING to get outside, it’s a tough time. The last thing they want to be doing is sitting in front of books, slaving away [...]

Look at this. It’s our old CRT computer monitor. Do these things die, or do they just slooooooowly fade away? Because the picture quality stinks. My son uses it to do his schoolwork on this computer, and after an hour or so, his eye is horribly bloodshot. And look how close the monitor is to [...]

I’m not starting a new meme! The title of the post is a take-off on my Find the Kitty Friday meme at my New York Renovator blog. I found this photo of my son hilariously funny. Can you see him? Yes, that’s the weird humor of my kids! I asked my daughter if she would [...]

So it’s Christmas Day. You’ve ripped open the loot, eaten all the turkeyhamroastbeefgoosewhatever and loosened your belt, and you’ve even tasted (and survived) Aunt Vivien’s fruitcake. Good for you!! Now what do you all do? Watch TV? :duncehat: NO NO! Be the life of the party, keep the kids quiet, impress the parents! This video [...]

I do not see why parents have to go nearly bankrupt this time of year, buying extravagant toys for children. We also have two children who have birthdays during this time of year, and it is VERY easy to totally break our bank. We don’t “do” Christmas, but we do give gifts for Thanksgiving. We [...]

This is a SEVERE warning why you should NEVER NEVER NEVER leave your child unattended with a bull terrier! The photo is not gory, so have no fear.. but parents and dog owners– you have been warned!!! BEWARE!

It’s no big surprise that mother’s milk is the best for the new baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics sees it as the “gold standard” when it comes to what your baby needs. I nursed all my children when they were young, but I did feed two of them with powdered formula after a few [...]

This is an older story I rediscovered while sifting through old bookmarks. It made me laugh all over again! It makes the Grammar Marm in me shudder, but hey– I guess bad grammar has some eternal purpose, too. The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been [...]
