Not Me! Monday — Earth Day, NOT!

I did NOT forget to go to the Earth Day celebration at Kensico Dam two weekend ago. I had it on my calendar and had told Don about it, and then the weekend just got so busy that I forgot. We had a great time there on Earth Day last year. To look back at [...]

Frugal Tip: Take Advantage of Your Local Library

September 6, 2009

We owe $16 in library fees — we didn’t return the Elmo, Wiggles, Potty Power, and Trucks DVDs in time. Again. This is it — from now on we only take out one, maybe two DVDs at a time. Our library charges $2 for every day a DVD is late, which happens easily, especially if [...]

Excessive Toy Packaging Unsafe and Wasteful

May 1, 2009

I promised you the story and the pictures of opening the packaging of a new toy for Landon. Don bought him this noisy backhoe that came in the most ridiculous packaging I have ever seen. It was tied down by tiny screws, of all things, and it took us 10 minutes to open it! We [...]
