Freaky Frugalite

This is a fun questionnaire that allows us to get to know each other a little better. There are FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting [...]

This is a fun meme run by Heather and Wayne Smith. The questions are always thoughtful or entertaining! 1. What is your favorite kind of soup? Hm. I’m not terribly fond of soups. I like to chew or drink my food, and soups were always in between. But if you pinned me against the wall, [...]

All three kids are doing their music practice. AT THE SAME TIME. Two of them are working on their scales but are playing them in opposing directions. I have FIVE huge articles due today and I can’t think straight! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *** Three days after as I pay off the previous month’s whopping big cell phone [...]

Wow have I been a slacker here lately. I only wrote two posts last week, me thinks! Sorry, pals. I’ve not been much company. I took last week off (for the most part) — we went on two day trips and I’ve been busy writing about those for the travel blog. I also discovered TWO [...]

Ugh. I got up early enough but everything has been going in slow motion today. Upstate New York is back to bathing in the scalding hot weather again…. still no rain in over a month for my area. Very odd, especially considering that we had a slew of hurricanes and other monsoons hit us year [...]

Nopal cactus fruit apparently reduces inflammation in general: muscle, joint, digestive, cell, etc. I think a LOT of our health problems stem from inflammation in one form or another. The makers of [...]

Oh dear. March is almost over! I have enjoyed this month. It’s been so spring-like. And because we finally got a few new windows, I can open them and enjoy the birds singing outside. Just this morning i have heard cardinals, robins, and blue jays! This must be a record for Upstate New York. We [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s been a long time since I tried Slim-Fast drinks. After having scads of children, I drank SlimFast ready-made shakes to lose a few pounds and boost my nutrition. I used to fast a lot as [...]

Yum! We love the Breakfast on the Go! snacks. I like the ones with dried fruit in them, and the kids like the ones with chocolate in them. These things are so perfect for traveling. They don’t weigh you down like heavier snacks and fast foods do, either. One of these little packets with a [...]
