I do believe I have an Easter miracle on my hands. Hubby gave me these flowers over 2 weeks ago, on Easter Sunday. And they are still alive. I’ve changed the water every week, and re-cut the stems, but although I do see a slight droop in a couple of the blooms, most are still [...]

My Newfound Sense & Sensibility
I’m in the middle of reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and I cannot believe it took me this long to pick it up!! It took a little getting used to the cadence and flow of the novel, but I am so enjoying it.. I’m wondering which sister I will most strongly identify with [...]

Lettuce, anyone?
On Sunday, Albertson’s had another batch of “double your coupon” coupons. I just couldn’t pass up an opportunity to get a lot for a little, and I had a TON of good coupons for Kraft Salad Dressing.
So…once again using A Thrifty Mom’s method, I bought an item already on sale, used my coupon, and had [...]

I knew this would happen eventually…
Hmmm…this is worse than the blue screen of death…

Maybe next year I should give up the internet for Lent…
Nah…
