Hip Moms Who Shop – Fun Gifts and Gags

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Me likes dumb gifts.  Me thinks this online web internet site sell the most funniest stoopid stuff in the hole world ever in the history of the earth. 

Seriously, I love these off-beat products.  Wouldn’t it be fun to get all of the people who come up with this stuff into one room…and give them all [...]

Fab Finds Friday – Thanksgiving Cocktail

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Here’s a recipe from Rachael Ray’s Thanksgiving Cocktails for a Cran-Apple Fuit Cup. I know it sounds innocent enough to serve to a child, but there is nothing innocent about vodka…

3/4 cup cranberry juice, chilled

Directions
In a small pitcher, combine the Apple Vanilla Vodka, grapefruit juice [...]

For the Multi-Tasking Mama

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I never enjoyed pumping.  Especially, with the electric pump.  Besides feeling like a bovine on a dairy farm hooked up to a milking machine (complete with loud, sucking sound effects), I could not stand being unable to do anything but hold those sucker things up to my boobies.  I couldn’t flip pages in a magazine, [...]

‘Tis the Season to Make Lists

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

If you’re making a list and checkin’ it twice, why not do it on a nice sheet of paper made especially for listmaking?  I found these sheets on Etsy. Maybe a frivolous and unwarranted purchase but if you forego your Starbucks Venti Pumpkin Spice Nonfat Latte with Whip for 2 days this week, you can totally afford [...]

Need Help With Child Discipline? Forget Super Nanny. Call in The Elf on the Shelf.

Monday, November 17th, 2008

For the past three days my kids have made their beds, kept their room clean, brushed their teeth and haven’t talked back to me.  I have not had to ask or yell. You are DYING to know my secret, aren’t you? It’s killing you! No, it’s not Nanny Jo. It’s the Elf on the Shelf.

Frugal Mom Tip – The New Deal

Monday, November 10th, 2008

So, I took my own advice (dispensed on Friday) and made it to the mall this weekend. I did not negotiate any additional deals…but I don’t think I needed to. There are so many ridiculous sales out there right now that I had to remind myself I that it was NOT the day after Christmas. [...]

Fab Finds Friday – Negotiating Deals at Retail

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

The world as we know it has changed, and it all really came down in the past couple of months. One sign of the times is the deep and aggressive discounts retailers are currently offering. I’m getting 25% off coupons left and right.  And, lately I’ve heard – from multiple sources – that you can [...]

Start Your Morning With a Bang – Emotibombs for Your Shower

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

It’s late and I haven’t slept much this week and I really should be in bed.  But, I was thinking about how I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s (or technically this) morning’s cup of coffee and my nice hot shower. And then I remembered I had bookmarked a website that sells “Emotibombs“. They’re like bath bombs, [...]
