Freaky Frugalite

I have two sons. Both LOVE computer games, but one prefers the “simulation” type games (he’s a World War II nut) and another likes the browser kind of games, like physics games or “shooting” games that you play online. From time to time, we like to check out games in other languages, just for kicks. [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. That would be me. Oh, I can tie my shoes. And whip up a meal for 10. But when it comes to gardening, my skills are limited. My time is even more limited. [...]

I started a new blog. YES, I did! I am not crazy… I don’t think I am. I don’t feel like I am, lol. My new blog is just starting up, and there is very little content right now. I’m taking my time with it. No embellishment, no crazy chattering, no colorful buttons and advertising. [...]

Have you ever taken a really close look at the iPhone or those high-tech screen protectors? I have. No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all.

Aaaaaaaaaaand another Friday rolls around. I am seriously missing the Christmas vacation, friends. Like the sugar crash after a delectable meal of chocolate and sweet coffee, I’m seriously mourning those late holiday mornings, the lounging around all day, staying up late with the kids and giggling over Looney Tunes videos and goofy books…. Oh well, [...]

After my recent success with buying glasses online, I’ve been shopping around and looking for eye glass frames for men for my husband and sons. I don’t think I am ever, ever going to the retail optician again, lol. My glasses alone cost me two-thirds less than the typical retail price. My sons, who have [...]

Well, over the holidays I took the chance and now I see that it wasn’t the best idea…. My stove was on fire this morning. Yeah. Fun times. Let me start at the beginning since I do so love to tell a good story. I’d baked an apple pie in the oven for Christmas dinner. [...]

I never, ever in a million years thought I’d ever have to consider something like this: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage. Before I had kids — and even when the kids were small — we just never had a whole lot of “stuff.” Moving from apartment to apartment was easy- -just pack up the two, three [...]
