I haven't talked about Swagbucks in a while, but now is a great time! There's a code for people who are signing up for the first time to get 70 extra swagbucks! Just enter the code: HOLIDAY100S DURING the sign-up process and you'll start out with 100 total swagbucks! I'm sorry. This code has now expired. Just in case you're not sure what … [Read more...]
Are You Ready for Thanksgiving?
This week has been crazy. Like . . . more than normal . . . In case it's not just me, I thought I'd share this ultra-easy Thanksgiving craft that I posted last year. It's a super-simple girl's pilgrim hat made out of paper. I'm all for crafts that make the holiday special but require almost no planning! Click here to see how I made it! … [Read more...]
A Story of Christmas Panic!
I procrastinate. Even when there's no need to procrastinate. And sometimes usually it gets me into trouble. I decided about a week ago what my daughter's big Christmas gift was going to be this year. This is our second year to have a real saved-all-year Christmas budget, and honestly . . . I thoroughly enjoy choosing one large gift for each … [Read more...]
The Master Bedroom Saga: Hubby Declutters (Part 9)
This is part nine of what seems to be an endless saga. In this part, I'm sharing Hubby's role in this process. I'm often asked how to motivate a husband to declutter. While I can't let myself worry about that too much, I have seen my own husband become more and more willing to declutter over the past three years. This one insanely-focused … [Read more...]
Special Accommodations for Slob Vision
It's happened. It has really, truly happened. We . . . have been validated, people. I had lunch at Johnny Carino's last week and asked for a to-go box for my more-than-enough lunch sized portion. The waiter took my plate to fix the box for me (love it when they do that), and brought back this: That's right. Though I live under the … [Read more...]
Bed, Bath and Beyond’s Black Friday Ad (Big Dyson Sale!)
I'm sorry. These deals have now expired. I'm participating in a round-up of Black Friday deals with a bunch of other bloggers. We are each sharing deals for specific stores, with links to all the great deals that will start the day after Thanksgiving! Bed Bath and Beyond is one of my favorite stores. They'll open at 6 a.m. and … [Read more...]
Childrens Clothes Bargains You Can Shop for from Home
I used to buy ONLY used clothing for my kids. I could claim that it was because I was so green, but the truth was . . . I was cheap. I'm still cheap, but since I've (mostly) banned myself from going to garage sales, I generally end up paying a lot more than I used to for my kids clothes. I do love thrift stores, but I don't often have time for … [Read more...]
Before and After Pictures: Three Minutes Later
As I was cleaning up the kitchen this morning, I realized how much this area has been driving me crazy. We've had a lot of coughing and allergies and fever going on around here, so it just makes no sense to my brain to put this stuff away in the cabinet above this counter. Especially since I have a few who are old enough to get their own … [Read more...]
A 7 Month, 4 Minute and 36 Second Project
Why do I do these things? Or not do them. Last spring (y'know, TWO seasons ago), I had the great idea to spiff up my daughter's room for her sixth birthday. I bought some cute stuff I knew she would love. Stuff that matched her funky-colors doll house she got last Christmas. Yep. I'm a mom with fabulous ideas. But . . . her birthday … [Read more...]
