When hubby and I were in Seattle this past week, we went to a Babies R Us. With a number of baby showers coming up, and our application to become foster parents still pending, it seemed like a good thing to do (since they don’t have this store down where we live). I expected to… Read More Disappointed in Babies R Us
Saving Money Versus Risking Safety There are may things that my husband and I do to save money that we don’t mind doing. For instance when I bake our own bread or desserts instead of buying pre-packaged. I don’t mind the time it takes, and it often tastes better. So that choice is a no-brainer.… Read More 14 people in a 5-seater car
The obvious downside to me not having an office job anymore is the drop in disposable income that went along with that. So, when I need things for the animals, I can’t just go buy them – I have to be creative. In spite of that, I am very happy with the supplies I have… Read More Repurposing old stuff, and how to do it
Selling fireworks was exhausting! I was so tired after my 10 days or so of selling them that I didn’t even set mine off until the 8th. I got to try Ground Bloomflowers, which are pretty cool, they spin on the ground and make a pyramid shape of fire that changes color. Gyro Blooms do… Read More Fireworks, when the selling is over

I gathered them, put them in housing (a plastic tote with soil, greenery, food, etc) in an attempt to get them to breed so I had a continuous source of protein for my chickens to eat. It sounded great, I found instructions online from others… Read More Don’t believe everything you read on the internet
After my post about shoes, I got to thinking about my wardrobe. I have many more choices in my clothing than I do in my shoes. In fact, I have so many roles each day, and each role requires a different type of clothing, that I find myself changing clothes multiple times. That can be a lot… Read More Clothing – and the associated laundry
(Originally posted Jan 2012) This is turning into “my blog of things I get from Craigslist”. I’ll have to see what else I can post about. I recently sold my last four chickens, for $40. That was the last of the 20+ free chickens I got in the fall, and the only ones that were… Read More More free stuff from Craigslist – I’ve turned in to a Chicken flipper!
