Hows the Black Friday shopping going? I love saving money, and I use coupons on almost everything.  If it's not on sale or I don't have an extra 20 percent off coupon, I don't buy it. Unless it's coffee.  Gotta have that at all costs. I've already messed up this money-saving adventure called Black Friday, and here's how.
Anyone Else Invited To The Ex’s House For Thanksgiving?
This is my second Thanksgiving as a single lady.  My ex and I ended things in the summer of 2013, and with three kids it's been important to us to get along and maintain a good relationship, and let it evolve into something new.  We're both much happier apart, an although we weren't right for each other as spouses, we genuinely care about each other and have been able to find places for each other

If you have a 6-year old like I do, chances are the tooth fairy makes regular trips to your house.  Where does the he/she get all that money? The tooth fairy leaves on average, $3.70 per tooth. Sounds cheap, but these kids have more than one tooth, ya know? Finley lost another tooth last night on the way to softball practice, and that led to an unexpected meltdown.  Here's why.

I love looking at all the back-to-school pics on social media this time of year. One of my sassy, fun (and kid-less) Facebook friends said just now, "Um...Did school start?"  Haha! What makes you say that?! Yeah...maybe we parents are guilty of overloading Facebook with backpack pics, but we don't have anything else exciting going on. Sideways wink!

Whoops!  I thought it would be a good idea to let the girls drench me and I didn't think about them potentially getting hit with the residuals. Piper can't even watch this video again without crying.  Sorry Piper, and please take comfort in the fact that Mama got it much worse than you did...
