Festival of Frugality Roundup

March 1, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Sorry! I meant to get back to this yesterday, but life-as always-intervened. Buddy actually took a nap, so I took a nap, and there went my blog writing time. Since I’m still stage managing at night I really needed the extra sleep 🙂 You all still love me, right? As I said yesterday, the Festival… Keep Reading

The Festival was posted yesterday over at Stingy Students. Unfortunately it wasn’t up until late afternoon, so I with my stage managing et al in the evening I didn’t get a chance to review it. This morning I’m out the door, so here is the link-I’ll do my roundup late this afternoon. Enjoy! Festival of… Keep Reading

Princess is Getting Hot Lunch

February 27, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

Once a month Princess’s school offers Tacos as an entree. Princess LOVES Mexican food, and while burritos and quesidillas are easy to make and pack along for lunch, hard shell tacos are pretty easily destroyed in a 5 year old’s lunchbox. So when we get the school lunch calendar at the beginning of the month,… Keep Reading

Yeah! Back to School!

February 26, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Princess got on the bus again this morning at 7:45. So it is just Buddy and I today. Maybe I’ll be able to actually get some laundry done, or the dishes, or some organizing that needs to be accomplished without hearing: “Mama!! Buddy kicked me in the head!” “Mama!! Princess took my alligator” “Mama!! I’m… Keep Reading

I was reading my blog feeds this morning and caught an article over at “Mama Says. . .” where she used photos and credited them as being from Morguefile. This intrigued me. I want to use photos but really don’t have the time or talent to take many myself. I had posted a while ago… Keep Reading

Carnival of 30’s and 40’s Personal Finance

February 23, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Is up over at “Making Our Way“. Thought you guys might like to check it out. I’ve been thinking of making a box on the sidebar that just lists the links to the current carnivals. Actually, I think there may even be a widget out there for that over at the carnival submit page. Would… Keep Reading

February 22, 2007 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

Well the data is in! 45 readers took the time to weigh in on the matter with the following results: The “Other” comments were that I should consider taking photos, that someone had a picky child who wouldn’t eat lunch from home, and that someone else thought it was sweet but basically skimmed by because… Keep Reading

I’m stage managing a community theatre production of “Meet Me in St. Louis” (7th item down) all this week and next-which is my excuse for any lack of posts between 2-29-07 and 1-4-07! Between the kiddos being home this week, and being at rehearsals from 6pm to 11pm every night. . . . lets just… Keep Reading
