Freaky Frugalite

Well, I saw this at a number of other blogs and thought I’d throw my hat in the ring. You Are a Pundit Blogger! Your blog is smart, insightful, and always a quality read. You’re up on the latest news, and you have an interesting spin on things. Of all the blogging types, you put [...]

Mommies Home has a great article on getting kids to eat vegetables. Like her, some of my kids were pretty fussy eaters when they were young, but a few of them were not. At around age 11, all my kids ate just about anything set in front of them (sometimes under duress, lol). I just [...]

I think I may have seen it all, people. While blog surfing, I saw a post about the simplest, most delicious, most hideous dessert you could possibly stuff into your pie hole. Ingredients: yellow cake mix and Diet Sprite. Mix. Bake. Devour. Blimp out. That’s just eeeeevil, people. lol. I’m not even going to post [...]

I wonder if poor hen-pecked Sarah Palin is kicking herself for the day she said yes to McCain. These are the times that try mom’s souls, ya know? First they accused her that her son was not her son but her grandson, then they Photoshop pig snouts onto her official photos, then they make her [...]

Oh, Lord. I’ve been reading some of the blogs from folks in Texas (do you have any idea how many bloggers are from Texas?! A lot!) and they are filled with accounts of the state after Hurricane Ike. Oh, Lord! I am so sorry for you folks. I was reading The Homesteading Housewife’s account of [...]

I have a few relatives overseas, on duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also come from a very long line of relatives who have proudly defended our country for centuries. But how I hate to see our young men and women go off to war! I think they don’t like it, either. Like Douglas MacArthur [...]
