Adding a Little Flavor to My Day…or Evening.

Adding a Little Flavor to My Day…or Evening.

I should not complain. I really shouldn’t. I survived infancy, babyhood, toddler mayhem, the threes(!), and preschool days as a SAHM of three children. My three children are now in full-day school. No more crazy 2.5 hours of preschool to get a haircut, drop off a prescription, buy a few groceries, and make it...

Review and Giveaway…AKA as Hiding the Snacks from Kids!

I review products on this blog…all the time. I have packages coming in daily. Kids who are reluctant to drag up a trash can will haul in a box twice their size. All three clamor to open packages. I regularly distribute the review items and have the kids and my husband test/wear/listen to/eat the...

A fellow DC mom wrote that she was about to quit Costco. My response? Whaaaaatttt??? Heresy! We love Costco! I have been a member of a warehouse club since 1989…BEFORE we got married! Do you remember when Costco was Price Costco and before that Price Club? Yep…we were members then. Actually, we were members...

Peapod by Giant: A Review and Code for My Readers!

Two weeks ago I took a tour through the local Peapod by Giant warehouse with a group of local mom bloggers. I have long wanted to ditch the weekly grocery shop. Grocery shopping is time consuming. As I shop the aisles, I am unable to resist certain items…read: pre-packaged food items. I see the...

Trot over to Maryland

Trot over to Maryland

What question perplexes me most on forms and questionnaires? The question I find most difficult to answer is what major city do I live closest to? As a child through my pre-children years, I would have had several answers: 0-4 years — Manchester, England 5-8 — New York City 9-10 — Manchester, England 11...

Wondering about InBoxDollars?

May 9, 2010
By

My rule of thumb. NEVER pay anyone any money for anything on the internet. Period. All of the “Buy this book and you will earn $1000 per month” offers are ridiculous. You shouldn’t spend money to earn money! I do InBoxDollars and SendEarnings. I earn pennies or more (often $1-$2 per survey). It may...

A Stitch in Time

May 5, 2010
By

I sewed a button on my husband shirt last night. It was a long involved process. First, I had to find the sewing kit. The shirt was easy to find as my husband has reminded me every morning for the last week that he is down to his last “three shirts…two shirts…one shirt.” Once...

My Job Chart: Teaching Kids to Work

If you are like me, you will have days where everything works like clockwork. Kids get to school on time. Work assignments and meetings go as planned. Dinner is on the table. Chores are done. And then there are the days when nothing goes right. In our house, if mom forgets to do her...

‘Twas a Blur But We Got It Done

April 21, 2010
By

I am hazy about last week. We got it all done, but it is a blur. I had two ominous deadlines looming… Taxes — Are you like us? Did you leave your taxes til the last minute? I must admit that if it were left to me the taxes would still not be done....

What’s Your Shopping Style?

What’s Your Shopping Style?

If I shop without a list, I end up buying many processed or packaged foods. A shopping list coupled with buying specific menu items helps me stay focused. I am not a good cook, so a recipe gives me step-by-step and ingredient-by-ingredient directions. Read: Idiot proof! I would be ideal candidate for an online...
