Greetings and salutations! This photo is from my “neighborhood” walk last evening. My neighbors have lampposts lining their driveway and at night with the snow it reminds me of Narnia every time I walk past. Isn’t it lovely? I think right now we all need more lovely things… This is a very odd time, don’t … [Read more…]
It’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday. 🙁 Yesterday I posted something on my facebook page about how to wean yourself off of facebook. A tad ironic I suppose since the whole point of posting on facebook is so other people will read your stuff and if no one is on facebook, no … [Read more…]
Is your day turning out as expected? Mine neither. It never does. I have this pie in the sky idea of how my day should look yet it never looks that way. I sometimes think I set myself up for failure by not setting reasonable expectations for myself. As if I am magically going to … [Read more…]
It’s been awhile. I had been trying to focus on my other site but, to be honest, I lost interest and stopped blogging altogether. I couldn’t even handle 30 days in a row for a 30 day health challenge. 😑 I guess there are some basic rules for a healthy lifestyle and I could only … [Read more…]
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…]

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…]
Well, yesterday ended by going to an outdoor movie at the zoo. It was free but the concessions weren’t. I bravely handed two 7 year olds a wad of money and sent them to get popcorn. 2 bottles of Sprite, a bag of skittles and a Hershey bar returned albeit without any change. So back … [Read more…]
Well, the title says it all. Losers that we are, we decided to be responsible and not go into any debt to go and enjoy the sea and so we are “staycationing” this week at, well, home. My frugal mind is satisfied with this arrangement and my anxiety is happy that we aren’t on some … [Read more…]
