It's Friday! As the week winds down, we gear up for another weekend of Big Brother's swimming lessons. Normally this would be something I would look forward to all week, just like the kids, but after last week's fiasco I'm secretly happy to be sitting this one out. {Pre Pool} We got there in good time and Big Brother happily smiled for his picture to be taken. He became the proud new owner of his first membership card. I took him over to the big window so he could see the pool … [Read more...]

My husband loves chocolate cake. Nothing special mind you, anything from a box will do as long as it has chocolate icing - insert me yawning right here. Far too boring for me. So when my husband had a craving and held that little box in his hand, was I ever relieved that he took the time to check out the recipe on the side and agreed to try making the cookies with the cake mix. Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies 1 package Duncan Hines chocolate fudge cake mix 2 eggs 1/2 cup … [Read more...]

Big Brother can be a bit of a handful at sleep time. This particular night, both the Hubby and I had been in to put him back to bed a couple of times. Finally, my Husband went up to lay with Big Brother in bed and he laid his big heavy arm across Big Brother to keep him there. Big Brother says 'You're hurting me'Daddy says 'I'm not hurting you'Big Brother says 'well someday I'm going to be bigger and you are going to be small, and I'm going to hurt you- how about that?'LOL Seriously? at 3 years … [Read more...]
Wonderful Wednesday- Swiffer Wet Jet, Frugal Style

It's not so much that I love my Swiffer Wet Jet, more so that I love how it can be adapted to cost you almost nothing to use! I received mine as a gift a couple of years ago, so all initial start up costs were out of the picture for me!After finishing up the solution, don't buy more. Just unscrew the lid to the bottle and refill with your own solution at home. I remember this taking a bit of effort the first time and I'm pretty sure I had the hubster use his pliers to get it off. Then just use a … [Read more...]

Okay, I know that this is not a new or creative concept, but around here my motto is 'Keep it simple, Keep it fun!' and this falls right into that category! Plus, when Big Brother is going through his yogurt strike, this little trick gets it into him every time! Moms have to be sneaky! Just fill a popsicle mold with yogurt, I like to layer different flavours for a fun effect. Pop into the freezer for a few hours and viola! Yogurt Pops! The key here is to not let your little ones see you … [Read more...]
