What Irks Me Wednesday started off as something I used to do back in high school – when I kept a paper journal that only I ever read. I used to take that time to rant, rave, and vent about every day things that just grind my gears. I find it to be quite healthy, [...]

Cutting Back Grocery Spending
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged savings, shopping on June 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »
It’s been a long few days, so forgive me if this post is a little scattered. Somewhere between having house guests, wrangling 2 kiddos, and Lucy’s baptism (it went perfectly, by the way!)…I’m just drained. A few posts ago, I was asked to give some advice on how to cut back on groceries, and although [...]
Meat-Free Monday: Bruschetta
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cooking, meat free monday, recipes on June 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I am a lot of things, but a vegetarian is not one of them. My family and I, well, we enjoy eating meat. I have yet to find a meat substitute that I like more than the real thing, and so an omnivore I shall remain. However, I do like the idea of Meat-Free Monday, [...]
My Favorite Things
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged freecycle, reading, the compact on June 27, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I’m not a person who is completely “stuff-obsessed.” I don’t have a ton of clutter, I don’t feel as though I need to fill my life with material things. I’d rather create things than buy them; that’s just who I am. However, I have to say that one of my absolute favorite things in the [...]
The Haggler
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged craigslist, freecycle, haggling, the compact on June 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Once upon a time, we had a king-sized comforter. And then it died, leaving us blanket-less. And I ended up buying another, new. Yes, I joined The Compact, and yes, I’m supposed to not buy new things, but in my defense, I searched high and low in thrift stores, craigslist, and freecycle, and honestly came [...]
Food Waste Friday
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged food waste friday on June 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Food waste is one of the top financial blunders in the USA. It is estimated that over 100 billion pounds of food are wasted in America each year…which equates to a lot of money wasted too. Food Waste Friday is a day that a whole bunch of bloggers participate in every week. Kristen at The [...]
Swirly Crayons!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged crafts, kids, tutorials on June 24, 2010 | 4 Comments »
There are few things in the world I hate more than a broken crayon. This seems to be a genetic trait, because the second a crayon breaks or goes dull, Norah freaks out and doesn’t want to use it anymore. Needless to say, we have about a billion broken crayons in our crayon bin. Instead [...]

Taking Care of Business Post
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged info post on June 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I just wanted to pop in and say that I’ve been messing around with the banner, layout, and general feel of the page here. Sorry if it’s confusing or if it gets a little messy. I’m pretty happy with the layout for now, so I think that’s how it will stay for now at least. [...]
Sleep Deprivation Makes a Mean Headache
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged kids, life, sleep on June 22, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I sit here, with the worst migraine I’ve had in a long time, staring blankly into this screen trying desperately to figure out something to write about. I refuse to go a day without blogging, and so here I am, so sleep deprived I can barely move, typing away about nothing. I love my energetic [...]
