Posted by Jennifer on Sep 29, 2008 in Meal Planning

 
Some of the things on our menu last week we didn’t get to because I forgot that we had planned on eating out on Saturday (before seeing Hanson in concert) and Sunday we went to DH’s parent’s house for a late birthday dinner for him.  His mom sent us home with leftover lasagna and cake [...]

Posted by Jennifer on Sep 26, 2008 in Frugal

 
There are a few things that I have learned to do online that actually *make* money.  A penny saved is a penny earned, right?
 The first is CKY Books.  They actually buy books from you, you send them to them for free, and they paypal you for them.  I sent in 2 books last [...]

Posted by Jennifer on Sep 23, 2008 in Pregnancy, Talk About Tuesday

Prepare your home for Fall

Posted by Jennifer on Sep 21, 2008 in Day to day, Holidays

WFMW – Planning for Christmas

Posted by Jennifer on Sep 17, 2008 in Frugal, Goals, Holidays, Works for me Wednesday

Did you know there are only 99 days left until Christmas?  Can you even believe it?  I have been very convicted this Christmas season to be wise about how we spend our Christmas budget.  Every month, we put a certain amount into our “vacation” fund which covers birthdays, trips, and Christmas and I’d really like [...]
