Things I Love Thursday…

I found this fun little linky post at the Diaperdiaries.com and thought I’d join in the fun!
One of the things I love is something I made!! Its a little mini album that is all about things that make me happy! I used scraps and made the entire thing from stuff I had I didn’t stick [...]

WFMW– Free and Frugal Things That Just Make Me Happy!

There are a ton of free, simple, and frugal things that really help to perk me up when there’s not much to do or I am feeling like a pick-me-up. I was reflecting on what things make me happy, and I actually was surprised at how many of them don’t cost me a dime!
#1. Blasting [...]

Totally Worth It Freebies For Your Listening Pleasure…

Nathan and I no longer spend money on music, cable, movies, or really any other sort of entertainment. We actually haven’t felt deprived AT ALL because of the wealth of freebies out there on line! I have gotten kind of excited about some of the goodies I’ve found recently and wanted to pass them on [...]

Focus Friday and Home Management Schedule!

I realize I’m way late in posting my Focus Friday! I wanted to kind of revamp the way I’ve been making my lists to help me, as the often pooped out Prego, feel better about the way things are getting done.
I LOVE crossing stuff off my list, but some days, my feet are swollen and [...]

You guys HAVE to see this!

I LOVE to decorate, and I love it even more when I can do it on a very low budget! I found this blog “linky party” on this fabulous blog called The Shabby Nest. She has created a post where frugal decorators have posted links to awesome decorating ideas on the cheap! I read every [...]

Super Savings Saturday! [The WOOHOO version!]

Woohoo!
I went to the Just Between Friends biannual consignment sale in Portland yesterday with my friend Amanda from work. She is due in about a week, so it was fun to go shopping with a fellow prego!
We weren’t sure what to expect. We walked in and were like, “whoa.” There was a lot of stuff! [...]

Revamping the budget for baby!

I have less than 3 months to go folks before little Molly arrives! Woohoo!

(Here she is!)
With that in consideration, Nathan and I had a great talk about how we should be adjusting our budget. I have been working my tushie off to stretch out a $200/month grocery budget and have found it to be extremely [...]

My plan for an awesome, frugal date night!

During the Town Hall For Hope, I started to have this incredible craving for a very cold fruit drink. I thought of Jamba Juice, (pricey!) Nathan suggested Sonic as they have real fruit slushies that are cheap. (He is getting more and more frugal by the minute!)
We went to Sonic and Nathan didn’t even order [...]

Town Hall For Hope Was Awesome!!

We had a great time! Dave had some great points and Nathan and I felt so totally in agreement with what he was teaching!
Some of our favorite points:
As a history teacher, Nate gets frustrated when people refer to the “New Deal” of FDR as the solution to the Great Depression. Dave pointed out that truly [...]

An Honest Mistake…

That’s what we’re calling it. Last week when I was hitting up the great promo at Safeway, I noticed they had what I thought was a Red Box. I made a mental note as we had been driving a little further to go to the Redbox at our Wal-Mart. Less gas, right?
Today hubbie [...]
