Budget Boot Camp Week 8: Freezing Meals

August 24, 2010

I was a little relieved when I found out what this week’s Budget Boot Camp Challenge was. Compared to the last few weeks, which involved a fair amount of time researching and planning {but which has actually panned out, I’m still looking through sale ads each week and matching up coupons}, this week’s challenge, making [...]

Gooey Brownies with Pomegranate Blueberry Glaze

August 23, 2010

After 3 long weeks, where I just wanted to press fast forward, I was craving something sweet, chocolaty (of course) and ooey, gooey. Scratch that. I wasn’t craving it. I deserved it. I NEEDED it. Playing single parent is no fun at all. Even when I found so joy at the end. So I checked [...]

Fave Links

August 20, 2010

I just LOVE Seth Godin’s take on finding creativity, and not letting it find you.This can be applied to just about any area in life. Mama Kat’s plea to get on the Ellen Show is hilarious. But the best one was her lip syncing. It truly is a lost art. From the witty Mofthesea {a.k.a [...]

Feeling Whole Again

August 19, 2010

Last weekend, after 3 weeks of single parenting, I was exhausted. But more than that I was empty. I had given all of myself to caring for my son alone (with some much needed and much appreciated help from family and friends), caring for the house, wrangling the dogs and everything else that comes with [...]

Random Bits of Nonsense

August 17, 2010

I’m totally whipped out after yesterday’s blog birthday post. I just don’t have much left to say. So instead, here’s some totally random stuff. I love these pics. It was at the beginning of a HOT afternoon filled with race car rides (and tears), a train that went just a little to fast, and a [...]

Budget Boot Camp Week 7: Grocery Price Book

August 17, 2010

Week seven here I come! This week’s Budget Boot Camp challenge didn’t take a lot of pre-planning, scouring the sale fliers {although I find myself doing that anyway now} or comparing sales and coupons. This week’s challenge was more about the future. Tracking the best sale prices over a period of time. Why on earth [...]

Year in Review

August 16, 2010

Some how, out of no where, an entire year of my life has passed, in what seems like only a few days time. How exactly do I know that it’s been a full year? It’s my first bloggy anniversary today. {Well, actually Tuesday the 17th, in case you are reading this on Monday night. Because [...]

Peanut Butter Cups

August 16, 2010

One of my all time favorite things is chocolate. As if you didn’t already know that. But pair it with peanut butter, and I’m in heaven. HEAVEN! Which is exactly why I love this recipe, passed down from my mom, for homemade peanut butter cups. Dare I say that they are even better than the [...]

This week’s word is ETHEREAL: adj 1.Celestial, Heavenly  2. Exceptionally delicate: airy, dainty I don’t really have any words to go with this photo. But I wanted to share it. P.S. My first bloggy anniversary is right around the corner. Tuesday to be exact. Which means, a new and improved design is coming. It’s about [...]

Sparkling Moments

August 13, 2010

Yes, indeed, there have been some wonderful moments this week, even though there were many, many times that I wanted to fast forward. For instance, after a terrible, no good, very bad morning, which involved zero donuts for breakfast because the kiddo was acting up. Why or why is it that punishing him resulted in [...]
