The Low Down on this week is that I realized I have been remiss in reporting my spending. This is because I have gotten a little lax. But I do keep receipts for all grocery, household, and pharmacy purchases and keep track of them on a spreadsheet, so I finally caught up tonight and filled…Continue reading 11 down. 2 to go.
A Love Letter
Dear Baby, I think about writing this to you all the time. Every time I smell your silky chocolate brown hair or hold your pudgy fist, I think of it. As I watch you nursing, I often think, “I will never forget how you look in this exact moment.” But somehow, I do. I remember…Continue reading A Love Letter
The Blogdom of the Low Ryder
So as the “13 weeks” draws to a close (thank goodness), I am faced with the dilemma of whether or not I will continue blogging, and if so, about what. During this summer of blogging, I have learned a few important things about myself and this process. 1. I love writing and blogging even though…Continue reading The Blogdom of the Low Ryder
How is it going?
So there’s only three more weeks left in the 13 Weeks of Summer. 3 weeks. 3 weeks. 3 weeks. It is the dog days of summer and the longest possible three weeks that could exist.

The Greater Good
I’ve been meaning to put this post up for some time, but life has gotten in the way. Our main computer situation is still tenuous and I don’t have normal access to all the pictures I want. Did I mention how terrible it will be if we lose all our pictures? All my gazillions of…Continue reading The Greater Good
No more cushion
So this isn’t exactly an subtraction and numbers update in the sense that the Sunday night posts have been because I had to revamp the whole durn thing today. We are pretty much down to the wire and are supposed to go on vacation on Friday. The long and the short of it is this.…Continue reading No more cushion
The truth about couponing
I probably do not need to provide any explanation of the title because once you have seen the picture, you know. This was taken on the night of July 3rd while fireworks were exploding outside and we were inside, patriotically watching the John Adams movie. How lame is my life. I did not add a…Continue reading The truth about couponing
Menu Planning A- HA- HA
