summer winding down

summer winding down

We are usually pretty busy in the summers. We pack our weekends with camping and traveling, usually to weddings and/or reunions. This summer has been a very different summer for us because the traveling ended in the middle of June and so did the camping. :-( (I would like to point out that I’m very proud of myself for tent camping in my third trimester. I bet not a lot of moms can say that!) For me, this summer has…

the best of… and questions

the best of… and questions

I was thinking of making a “Best of…” section, highlighting some of my favorite or important posts that I’ve written over the past 5 years. Here’s a start, but I was wondering if anyone has other posts they’ve liked that I should include in the list? Thoughts On finances… the best and worst financial things we’ve done (11/13/08) On miscarriage… hitting a window (6/24/08) On stereotypes… stereotypes abound (5/15/08) On frugality… how I saved $21 (12/28/07) On moving… thoughts of…
