Freaky Frugalite

Uh oh. I just discovered that Buy.com has LEGO sets on their website. When my son finds out, he’s going to send me into bankruptcy. He’s a LEGO and Bionicle freak- he even has a blog devoted to the toys. He’s quite a good builder, if I do say so myself. :D But holy cow! [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine. This looks very interesting- it’s called Bidazzled and it’s a new, different kind of auction than I’ve seen.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine. “Bread: the Staff of Life.” How many times have we heard that? It’s true! Did you know that mankind has been harvesting some form of wheat ever since the beginning? Wheat is one of the oldest [...]

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9 It’s short and sweet this week. It’s been a busy week, but today has been especially busy. [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. What do you think of when you think of wool clothing? ICK! :egads: I thought so! Same here. I used to have wool socks and a wool sweater as a kid…. MAN I hated wearing that stuff! [...]
