Making Something Old New

Posted in Homemaking

Munchkin and I wanted seat cushions for our outdoor furniture, but we can’t afford to just go out and buy some new ones. I had found outdoor fabric for a really, really good price on clearance shortly after we arrived here. All I needed was some cushions. At first, I looked at the foam at the fabric store, but it was too expensive. I decided to head down to the thrift store to see what they had available.

The Mean Mom

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

I believe that I’m quickly earning the title of the “mean mom” in our new neighborhood.

Your child is not allowed to go into people’s houses when we don’t know them. Your child needs to stay within earshot/eyesight of us (for the most part) instead of going all over the housing area. Your child has a normal bedtime routine that doesn’t include staying out after dark playing. Your child doesn’t always get her way even if…
