Do you do anything for Mardi Gras? We sometimes get a King cake just for fun and get the kids a few beads, but otherwise, nope. My ex-husband is from Louisiana so I know he celebrates, but I’m not sure how.
So if you do celebrate, what do you do?

I filed my taxes the other day, and was absolutely thrilled to see I was getting a lot more back then I normally do. I qualified for a higher EI credit and I made a little bit more this year. I am a freelancer too, so I don’t get back as much as others usually [...]

Wow. Sometimes people seriously go to extremes to be frugal. And honestly, the woman I am about to tell you about, did it more for the principal of it being her money, but she fought for over 10 years about 14 cents. Is that not the craziest thing ever?

I love my hosting company, but lately this blog and another blog have been having problems. I think we have them all ironed out and everything is working again as normal. It was at their end, not mine – so I am relieved I didn’t do something.

I acted as quickly as I could, and I went [...]

Very excited!! I applied to be the examiner.com St. Louis Frugal Family Examiner after noticing that the previous writer had not published anything since April of last year. I waited for awhile before applying to see if she would post again, but she never did. I took the chance about two weeks ago and went [...]

If you have been following me for any length of time, one of the first things you learn, is how much I absolutely adore my coffee. I mean, LIVE for my coffee. Like, so much when the kids play Whoonu with me, they all pray they get the ‘coffee‘ card for me. Well, with that [...]

Every once in awhile, I do sit down and find myself completely at a block as to what to write. It isn’t that I don’t have great every day fodder to include on my blogs, but most of the time it probably isn’t funny to anyone but our family.
So I’m always on the look out [...]

It’s so quiet here now that the holidays are over. The kids go back to school in a few days, Christmas is wrapped up and put away, we’ve celebrated the New Year and we’re quite frankly…. bored.
We’re playing all our new Wii games, playing new board games we got, reading books and watching movies, but [...]
