OK, OK, here’s another sniglet for ya:
Gangster’s diaper — n. I haven’t crafted the official definition yet, but I know my son has it. As in, S. has gangster’s diaper today; his pants are really ridin’ low.

Every time I even think about composing a blog post at the computer, a child ‘o mine wants to use the computer; and they are both [...]

Picked up a great WFMW tip from my big sis on my trip home. If you cut the top off of hand lotion bottles (the tall ones that are designed to “stand” on their ends), you can get more lotion out with your fingers. She uses a clothes pin to clip them shut after she [...]

I am on the last week of my $1 free trial, recommended by Jill at The Diaper Diaries. (She has some lovely tips on Frugal [...]

We received a message from the owners last Friday that they had found the title, and we had it in our hot little hands by Saturday afternoon. It only took me four days, two [...]

Strangely, one of the more popular posts on my blog is this one, titled ‘The Lord giveth…and the Lord taketh away’. Turns out, people like to search for this phrase on search engines and often end up here. I can’t help but wonder how they feel when they find me rambling on about my frugality [...]

Have I mentioned that I love living here?
There was an all night flea market in our town last night. Woo hoo! I headed out by myself on a whim after the kiddies were in bed to recharge a little and see what I could see.

What mom hasn’t put Junior in the bathtub, turned her back for one second, and turned back around to find Junior squeezing the last drop of a full bottle of shampoo (or shower gel) into the bathwater?
