WFMW: Trick or Treating and Cleaning Out the Pantry

Be sure to check out Works for Me Wednesday on Rocks in My Dryer for tons of great tips each Wednesday! I learn something new every week! Here’s something I have done for several years now, and I thought I would pass it along. I do some pantry cleaning every year on Halloween — right [...]

Certainly Something to Ponder On

An important reminder to teach your daughters (and I think your sons too!) that what society shows isn’t necessarily what we should be striving for. Oh…quick note about this video — there is nothing on this video that can’t be seen in magazine ads, TV commercials, and billboards. But, all the same — it’s not [...]

a tardy is a tardy is a tardy…kind of

On Thursday morning, I was already planning on driving the boys to school. They were having Fall Parties in their classes, and I was sending in a refreshment for one class and cupcakes for another, so I didn’t want them to try to take them on the bus with them. But, well…I’m sick. And, I’m [...]

7 Random Things Meme

I was tagged by my friend Becca for the Seven Random Things Meme. I have done this before, and cannot remember what I wrote before. I will try to be sure to write things I think I would not have listed before. 1. I finally broke down and bought a pair of Crocs a couple [...]

Update on Helping with RCIA

I have been busy helping with our parish’s RCIA program. It certainly does seem lately like every time I turn around, I am doing something else for the program. But, other than occasionally being tired (but, that’s for lots of reasons), I am really enjoying it. I think it has been really fun to see [...]

Works for Me Wednesday: Family Budget on the Computer

This one is a repost of my very first WFMW tip! But, since I find that I seem to get hits from search engines often for this one, I thought I would post it again. I have to say, I have been SO happy with keeping track of our budget on the computer, and I [...]

My commercial pet peeve

I have a set of commercials that I can’t stand. I roll my eyes so hard when they come on that I am amazed that they have managed to remain in my head. It’s those darn Eggo Waffle commercials where the father is a “moocher” who constructs all these elaborate plans to steal the waffles [...]
