It’s 90 degrees and I decide to make soup 🙄 but whatever. I am doing he uber frugal month through Frugalwoods and since our pantry is packed and we need to correct our grocery spending I wanted to use up what we have. Hence cauliflower soup. This recipe is easy and I didn’t do anything … [Read more…]
These are my new-this-season merino wool socks. They have several brothers and sisters that I also bought because my feet are always cold and they were on sale WITH a coupon. This was on day 5 or 6 of wearing them 😱. Are you shocked? Grossed out? Wondering how they smell? 😷 Somewhere along the … [Read more…]
Staycation. What can I say? It’s over now so I figured I would finally jot down a few notes. I gave up writing daily because, well, staycation is kind of boring. It’s not exactly like I had amazing photos of Hawaii to post. On day 5 or 6 (I lost track of days too) we … [Read more…]
Day 3 has come and gone and technically Day4 is underway. Yesterday brought us barreling into Animal Adventure in Harpursville, NY. You may have followed April the giraffe over the winter and spring in anticipation of watching a giraffe give birth live on TV. Having 4 children, I can’t think of a more awful thing … [Read more…]

Back for more? Don’t hate me yet? Awesome. Yesterday I ranted about my children and today I will rant some more. We also mentioned Anne of Green Gables and the newest adaptation. I started off discussing a book I’ve never read and other peoples opinion of it and it’s adaptations for the screen. And then… … [Read more…]
I have a confession: I have never read Anne of Green Gables. Nor have I read many other books I probably was supposed to in school. Although, to be honest, none of these were on any reading lists for school. I was one of those annoying people who even as a kid could skim a … [Read more…]
This is my window sill today and most days. No idea why I am collecting GM bottles. I really only need one. I am sure we enjoyed them though and a 4th may join them soon. The one I need is intended for my husbands final resting place, albeit after a bit of, um, … [Read more…]
Does anyone else have fantasies of just chucking your cell phone, buying a Princess phone (click to see what that is if you don’t know) and just going all commando as you venture into the world? I do. Daily. And I don’t even have anyone calling me except when I am at work. I got my … [Read more…]
