Not enough Drs?
I woke up this morning to a horrible wailing. You know the kind. Horrible 2 yr old sobbing. DS says “my mouf hurts”. Let me tell you, 100.7 fever at 6 something in the morning is not fun! First priority-call the doctor. What doctor? The one I was told accepted him as a new patient back in April when I set up DD’s first 2 month check. Well turns out he was never put on the roster, so we can’t {Read More}
Eating with Toddlers
Ever have a meal where your kids end up looking like this? When I don’t think ahead that’s the mess I end up having to clean up. When I know I have a messy meal and plan ahead the kids where what I call “spaghetti shirts”. Quite simply they are old cast off T-shirts that are a couple of sizes too big. The kids put them right on over whatever they are wearing and it protects their clothes from messes. {Read More}
Target Finds 8/3
Before I tell you about the deals I picked up this afternoon I have to tell you about the little old lady driving the BMW. I happened to find a parking spot fairly close to the doors, and across from a cart return (very important with 2 kids in tow). When I get back to the van I crank up and notice this little old lady driving a BMW, or at least I think it was a BMW with her {Read More}

This Week’s Dinners 8/2
My goal is to provide dinner for my family (2 adults and one toddler eating) for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 6 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and there will be leftover servings for lunches, dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. Monday: Pork Chops, broccoli casserole, {Read More}
From the Mouths of Babes
DS has said a few things this week that really had me laughing. I thought I would share with all of you. I’m sure you can imagine him looking over his glasses to tell me these things with the most serious of tones *You’re a good helper, Mama! *Be careful Mama, don’t burn yourself! *You’re done Mama, sorry, but you’re done! (said in exactly the same tone I say it when I’ve had enough of him doing something) *We need {Read More}
