Watertown-Area Farmers Markets 2012

It’s that time of year again. Your victory garden is either well underway or being eaten by wild creatures in the dead of night (like ours)! If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of discovering your beautiful, delicate plantings mauled to nubs the exact day you were planning to make gazpacho for a houseful… Continue Reading

Tiny Obsession: HBO

Tiny Obsession: HBO

Let me preface this by saying I haven’t been a big TV watcher these past couple of years. That hasn’t always been the case. My husband and I fell in love over an episode of “Seinfeld.” I can name just about any 80s TV sitcom or cartoon theme song. I went through mourning when “Friends”… Continue Reading

How I Fix Sick

How I Fix Sick

You might already know this, but mommies don’t get sick days. When I get a tickle in my throat and start feeling rundown, I take a dose of this every 4-5 hours, (except the Zinc – that’s only twice a day). Stops colds – or limits their duration to less than two days – almost… Continue Reading

Downloadable Daily Planner Page to Help You Get Ready for the School Year

For this household “Back to School” is an event more about getting organized than anything else. How else will we survive not being able to sleep in until 7:30 every morning? I am not naturally an organized person. In trying to become one, I’ve tried self-help books, lists, electronic calendars, paper calendars, schedules, you name… Continue Reading

Clipping

Long night ahead of me… This, plus I’m planning my drugstore and Tops trips. But completely worth it! Great haul last night at Price Chopper. I took advantage of the General Mills deal (spend $20 on General Mills, Yoplait, Betty Crocker, among other brands, get a $5 off your next shopping trip Catalina x2). Also,… Continue Reading

Clothes Play: Backyard Summertime Fun

Clothes Play: Backyard Summertime Fun

We love our backyard. We consider it our summertime living room. PLUS, we can put a kiddie pool in our backyard. Well actually, I have put a kiddie pool in our real living room during the winter, but it was full of plastic balls. I digress – one of my favorite things about summer in… Continue Reading

Coupon Source #2

A peak at my coupon binder. The color ones are coupons I got from newspaper inserts and All You magazine, and the ones in black and white are the ones I printed. Although I get a lot of my coupons from the Sunday newspaper, I check http://coupons.com daily – (and really more like several times… Continue Reading
