I’m the first to admit that I loathe all things biscuit. My husband and kids, however, love biscuity breads. So I (with the help of my 2 little chefs) made these thinking that I’d hate them. But ya know what? They’re really good. Slightly reminiscent of Red Lobster’s cheddar biscuits, they’re light and flaky and [...]

After Friday’s post about decluttering kids’ stuff, I had a number of emails asking about what ThredUp is. ThredUp is an online community where you can swap gently used clothing with other parents from the comfort of your own home. When you sign up for a FREE account, ThredUp automatically sends you 10 United States [...]

Posted in A Day In The Life, Decluttering, tagged project simplify on March 25, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I’m participating in Simple Mom’s Project Simplify, and this week’s hot spot is kids’ toys and clothes. “Oh boy,” was all I could think when I read this week’s hot spot. Between the two of my girls, we have (well, had) enough clothes for about 18 kids – and equally as many toys. This has [...]

I feel so out of touch! I’ve only been off the blogosphere for a few days and I had so much to catch up on. Life moves quickly, no? Here’s what’s been going on around our neck of the woods: We got the computer back up and running. Woohoo! We had some seriously scary weather [...]
Google Spam

If you haven’t noticed, Google has become increasingly spammy over the past few months. If you click on one of their top links when you search for something, chances are that you’ll be redirected to a spam website – even when it looks like the link is legitimate. Unfortunately, I clicked on one such link [...]
Project Simplify: Hot Spot #2 – Paperwork

I’m participating in Project Simplify over at Simplemom.net and this week’s project is combating paper clutter in your house. (Note: I didn’t participate in week 1 because I didn’t know about it). Since we recently moved, I kind of laughed at having to do this paper clutter stuff. Honestly, I thought I had gotten it [...]

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of having an anatomy scan of our baby cygnet via ultrasound. The girls were allowed in the room the whole time, and the image was projected on the wall – it was a lovely family bonding experience. I am pleased to say that baby has the proper number of arms, [...]
Sweet Onion Ranch Chicken

My kids are crazy about homemade chicken nuggets. I, however, get incredibly bored with standard breading. So this week, I tried something a little different, inspired by a recipe found on the back of my salad dressing. Ingredients: -4 boneless, skinless chicken breast filets -1 oz packet of ranch dressing powder -2 TBSP dried, minced [...]
A Spending Fast
Posted in A Day In The Life, Frugality, Goals, tagged spending fast on March 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »
A few of my other blogging friends have been periodically doing “spending fasts” where there aren’t any out-of-budget shopping excursions or expenses (other than emergencies, of course!, and I really feel like we need that here. Moving is quite possibly one of the most expensive undertakings in life. The cost of the actual move, the [...]
