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
Festival of Frugality – Quick Link Only.
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
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.

New Source for Royalty Free Photos!
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
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
Lunchbox Poll Results
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

Between the kiddos being home this week, and being at rehearsals from 6pm to 11pm every night. . . . lets just… Keep Reading
