Freaky Frugalite

Winter is here! We finally got measurable snow, straight from Lake Ontario. The snowplows come rumbling by every hour or so (and all we got was about 3 to 4 inches). It’s so cozy in the house. I love winter. The snow is like a great big blanket on the community; it muffles all sounds [...]

Two giveaways are ending this week- don’t forget to enter if you have not already. :shades: Firstly, my friend Rena at her blog A Little This and That is giving away an absolutely gorgeous 5×7 country print. It’s EASY to enter (she’s a gal after me own heart, she is)- all you have to do [...]

I grew up near Oneida Lake, New York State’s largest inland lake. It is SO beautiful there. Besides going to the lake and swimming whenever I wanted, I also enjoyed fresh seafood from the lake. There is nothing like delicious fresh, local seafood, yum! But now that I live far away from any lake, seafood [...]

My daughter sent me this video. LOL! We adore Ray Comfort. I hope he gets his wish someday (see the end of the video). In this video, Comfort expounds on the marvelous design of the banana, only to be mocked by atheist Richard Dawkins.

I recently mentioned my good experience at DressBarn when I went there to hunt for some clothes for my business trip to New York. I was really floored by the beautiful, feminine clothing at such good prices! I had always thought that “boutiques” were filled with clothes for toothpick-sized girls, and for RICH toothpick-sized girls, [...]

About what an eyesore your wardrobe can be sometimes? LOL.. my wardrobe is, frankly, awful. I am [...]

My kids are teenagers. Well, one turned 20 this year (OMGOMG!!). We remember when the *first* Toy Story movie came out. Oh dear, my eldest went on a “Woody” binge. EVERYTHING had to be like a cowboy. We were dirt poor back then, and couldn’t afford a Woody doll. Oh, how I looked and looked [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Wow, I have found something totally cool. And it’s perfect timing, too, because I just got an iPod and I LOVE IT!! I take it with me everywhere. How did I ever get along without it? Someday I [...]
