Family Fitness – Bus Stop Exercising

If your bus doesn’t reliably show up at the scheduled time, you have ten to fifteen minutes of time each morning to stand around and be bored. Instead of standing and staring up the street, we started doing some family fitness routines in the mornings and are having a lot of fun. Hopefully, we’re also [...]

This Week’s Grocery Trip Under $50

After last week’s big snow, I was glad to get to the grocery store again. This week, I spent $38.73 so far and am planning to spend the remaining $11 on milk and bread. I spent $12 at Mars and $26.73 at Target. I don’t think I’ll detail everything in a long boring list unless [...]

2010 on a Budget

Funny Kid Friday – Yes, W, There is a Santa Claus

Little W and his mom were in the car when his mom spotted an airplane. Knowing he could hear but not see the plane, she said, “Oh, look! Santa’s doing a test run!” Little W responded in a disgusted tone. “No, he’s not.” “Don’t you believe in Santa Claus?” “Of course I do. I just [...]
