This week, I finally broke my couponing sabbatical.  Around Thanksgiving I started feeling really burnt out on couponing.  Using coupons is a wonderful thing…most definitely, but I just needed a break.  We had a huge stockpile of pretty much everything except produce, dairy and bread, so I did what I needed to.  I took the [...]

On a Sunday morning, my husband pulled out some “pre-marriage” clothes that I thought were long gone.  They’re just not what you would call “in-style” – if you know what I mean.  I had to “de-old-man-ify” his wardrobe when we got married! Ha! Surely I’m not alone?

A Candy Cane Christmas

December 15, 2009

During a recent episode of un-intentional brainstorming (why is it that I can intentionally brainstorm and never think of anything?) that I came up with this awesome plan for decorating in our dining area!

Cheap.

Beautimous.

Pottery Barn-ish.
Fabulously Frugal.

Tackling & Giving

November 23, 2009

Great day! It took an act of congress to get these pictures uploaded. I’m not sure if it’s Firefox, Blogger, PhotoBucket, my internet or my computer. Argh!
Um-kay, moving on…
This past week I had NO time whatsoever to work on the skeletons in my closet, but I did manage to get my pantry [...]

Frugal Thanksgiving Centerpiece

November 19, 2009

One of my favorite things to do is decorate — my home, the homes of others and for events. It is my goal to be as frugal as possible when decorating. I like to “design on a dime” without it looking like I did!
I scour thrift stores, yard sales and TJ Maxx for versatile items [...]
