I am cheap

Got a great new rug at Home Depot today….

by beagoodmom on September 3, 2011

Check out my new laundry room rug. Ain’t it grand? Its 6ft x 8ft, and super soft. Classes up my Laundry room too, don’t ya think? How much do you think a grand rug such as this costs in the open market? I purchased it just today, brand new, from the local Home Depot. No [...]

Don’t do it Geetle!

by beagoodmom on March 16, 2011

You’ve been saving up for that Yoda alarm clock…$24.99 at Target. You’re getting close! And now some sweet talking Yo-Yo peddler comes to your school, does a dog and pony show and now you’re going to spend $10 on a sparkly yo-yo? Don’t do it! The Yo-yo is never worth it! Hold out for the [...]

My! Your jeans are so…blue!

by beagoodmom on November 2, 2010

Now that its Fall, its time to break out my uniform…jeans, a sweater and my Dr. Scholls casual sneakers (cuter than they sound).¬† The problem is, last year’s jeans were looking a little worn out.¬† I went shopping for new ones, but came to the conclusion that I like MY jeans.¬† My old jeans!¬† So, [...]

The Boxer Bunch

by beagoodmom on July 16, 2010

No, this is not a picture of my kid in their you-know-whats. Its a picture of my kids in their pajamas. Kids pajamas are expensive! Back when the twins were 3 or so, I got tired of trying to scrounge up garage sale summer pajamas. I certainly wasn’t going to pay $9.99 a pair at [...]

Geetle’s Look Book

by beagoodmom on August 25, 2009

Nothing makes me madder than to see nice new clothes in a kid’s closet go unused while the same Tinkerbell T-shirt comes out twice a week. I hate that. But I guess I understand it. Sometimes Geetle is overwhelmed with the choices, does not know what goes with what, and sometimes simply forgets what’s in [...]

Fun Way to Blow a Day with Kids

by beagoodmom on July 27, 2009

On Mondays we have 2 friends over all day. Its alot of fun, but since we see them twice a week (for our little babysitting co-op) we sometimes run out of things to do and get a bit restless and short with each other, if you know what I mean. So, today, as soon as [...]

High Protein Pancakes? Sure.

by beagoodmom on July 21, 2009

I believe in reaching a happy middle ground with children, when it comes to food tastes. I do force mine to try new things and withhold treats if they do not make an effort or finish something I know they can deal with. But I also try to work with them. They like oatmeal, but [...]

Don’t cheap out

by beagoodmom on July 19, 2009

Don’t cheap out and buy knock-off Jenga, like I did. The wooden pieces are not coated or sanded and they do not slip out easily when you select your piece to remove. They barely fit back in the box when you are done. When you stack them, the edges are not flush. They don’t give [...]

Public Works Open House

by beagoodmom on May 19, 2009

If your town has a Public Works department, be on the lookout if they have an annual open house. Our town hosts one, during National Public Works Week (May 17-23rd). Geetle and I went last year and had a lot of fun. This year we convinced Pookie and Giggles to come too. They had garbage [...]
