  • Frugal Find

    Monday July 12, 2010

    Vacation Bible School runs this week,  and that tends to mean I spend money shopping at places I don’t usually go with three kids in tow.   I stopped by World Market today because I needed more Torani Syrup for my coffee.  I was excited to see they were running their 2 for $12 deal ($6 [...]

  • How To Make A Rocket Ship Cake

    Wednesday June 23, 2010

    Perhaps more aptly titled – how *I* made a rocket ship cake for Sam’s 5th birthday. 1. Come up with a design that is doable and agreeable to all parties. Sam requested a rocket ship cake, so I sat down at the computer to see what I could come up with.  I didn’t want to [...]

  • Mary Quite Contrary Attempts To Square Foot Garden

    Sunday June 13, 2010

    Back in May, as I was reading around the blogosphere , I saw that many people were working on their square foot gardens.  Initially I didn’t think much about it.   After all, I do not have a green thumb.  My husband does and he does a little garden in the backyard every summer.  However, his [...]

  • 12 Years of Bledded Wiss

    Wednesday June 2, 2010

    This weekend marked our 12 year anniversary.  We celebrated by having a yard sale and convincing some friends to keep the kids (overnight!). Once we were footloose and fancy free, we cashed in on two Groupons I recently scored.   Without telling Mike our destination, I directed him into Clarendon where we found street parking.  A [...]

  • Playing Catch Up

    Sunday May 16, 2010

    It seems that May has been a busy month.  A few activities have gone unchronicled, so I want to mention them before they are completely obsolete. May Fair The first is the elementary school’s May Fair, which was held the first Saturday in May.   It’s a big money maker for the school’s PTA and is [...]

  • My Evening with the Pioneer Woman … and 600 other crazies

    Wednesday May 5, 2010

    Last night I got to meet the world famous Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond.  She was in town for a book signing at the Borders in Fairfax.  I debated on whether I should go, because coordinating handing off the kids would be a hassle and I knew from reading her blog that her signings are madhouses.  [...]
