Shannon’s running a Greatest Hits edition of Works for me Wednesday today. This one, originally published in July 2007, is one of my faves. It ought to be fun to check out everyone’s favorite ideas.
A few years ago, my Bible study leader recommended keeping a 3X5 spiral notebook as a tool for scripture memorization. I [...]

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 [...]

Well, you get a two-fer today, because I forgot it was backwards WFMW today. I was hoping you guys would tell me what your favorite frugal mommy blogs are. I’ve been wanting to increase my reading and perhaps posting in this area. Thanks for your help!

I forget (or would that be forgot? Shannon? Grammar police? anyone?) exactly where I got this little tip, but if you sort your silverware by type when you load your dishwasher, it makes putting the silverware away oh-so-much faster. I know…I admit, it’s a little crazy, a little anal; but very satisfying and efficient all [...]

“Last Time” is my antidote to the “Do Agains” of the terrible twos and beyond. Granted, hearing that tiny giggle IS irresistible, but how many times can one adult shout “Boo!” before the thrill is gone? When I am on my last nerve, I sweetly sing out, “Last Time!” — giving my darling toddler the [...]

Dear Internets,
I am seeking your collective wisdom about grocery shopping methods, strategies, and frugal tips. And more specifically, do you use ‘The Grocery Game?’ And if so, is it worth it?
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 [...]

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?
Whenever I finish using a bottle of shampoo or liquid soap, I give it to Junior to play with [...]

I have a simple Works-for-me-Wednesday tip today to keep you cool. Two words: talcum powder. If you have never doused your sweaty or your recently-bathed-in-cool-water-self with talcum powder, you have been missing one of life’s greatest pleasures. It makes you feel all dry and fresh, even if you’ve been sweatin’ like a pig for the [...]

She has probably forgotten by now (and hopefully doesn’t think I’m a stalker), but back when BooMama was having a crafty moment with Howard Alex, I mentioned I had the perfect solution for her new and ever-expanding gallery of kid art.
Since our refrigerator is covered with this marble track,
all of our kid-art is hung clothesline-style [...]

Well, I owe BooMama a promised WFMW tip, but I’m going to follow the rules today and stick with the theme, people. She’s got (air quote) All That Southernness; she won’t complain.
My parenting advice is…you’ve heard it before…”Sleep when the baby sleeps.” Or, in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer terms…try to get your baby [...]
