Call Me Cheap….
You may want to be cheap frugal with me when you see all I’ve been up to! I have been a bit over-the-top honest that this is the year of THE BUDGET in my household. I’m avoiding situations where I may feel compelled to spend too much and I’m prioritizing my wants far better than I have in years past. Here are some products that might make you enjoy being on the...
Read MoreShopping with Your Teenage Daughter: Have Fun & Work Your List!
You may read the headline of this post, roll your eyes and think, “I’d rather get a bikini wax.” Me too, except I am the loving mother of three daughters, two of whom, I can shop for at will, and one of which is like shopping for a needle in a haystack.

Well, my friend, let me...

To think back about that kind of fun shopping trip, I might have to add waiting on the curb for my mom to pick me up. Seriously. When did shopping become such a dreadful chore? (OK, for all of my friends who are...
Read MoreMy Basic Summer Uniform
A friend of mine was lamenting the fact that her closet was a wreck, and as a result, she was having a difficult time getting her summer wardrobe together. After leaving her high powered job, she had lots of “work” clothes, but very few hang out with the kids clothes. She asked, “What do you wear in the summer that’s casual?” My first response...

What do you think would happen if you hosted a party with your best buddies and asked them to bring one item of clothing that they splurged on, but alas, never wore? The goal of the gathering would be for each guest to come away with one found treasure. My guess is one woman’s misguided purchase is not another woman’ s found treasure. We are all guilty of buying things...
