bozo

Do you remember watching Bozo on TV? There used to be a Saturday morning show for children, featuring Bozo the Clown. He would just say a couple of cute or funny lines and then show a cartoon, like Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Popeye, etc. It was a harmless way for children to be entertained in the morning while Mom and Dad took are of household chores.

I’m a mother

Posted by Alicia on Tuesday Sep 15, 2009 Under Family, Life, education, health

Anyone that has ever had children, especially more than one, knows that one of the after affects of pregnancy is belly fat. I hate it so I started checking into how to lose belly fat. No I don’t want to look like a teenager again but I would like to lose some of that belly fat. I have exercised and watched what I eat but it’s still there. Hopefully I’ll learn something new.

Since the kids aren’t home now

Posted by Alicia on Thursday Sep 3, 2009 Under Family, education, home improvement, parenting

Now that the kids are back in school, I have been going through the house and getting rid of a lot of clutter that we no longer need.  I hate all of the clutter the kids have in their room with toys they don’t play with anymore and everything else that is all over their room.

I’m even thinking about doing some redecorating.  Maybe I’ll start with the living room or my bedroom.  I don’t know.  I’ll have to shop around and see what I see.

Are you a penny pincher?

Posted by Alicia on Tuesday Sep 1, 2009 Under education, money, parenting, penny pincher

Just about everyone I know is pinching as much out of their money as they possibly can. You have to especially when you have children. My children are really into the Discovery Channel on TV and they do have a lot of great things for kids. I found Discovery Store discount coupons online.

With school starting back, each of my children needed shoes.  That can be expensive but would you believe that I also found Footlocker discount coupons too?  I was so proud of myself when I found them.  I saved almost enough money to buy at least one of my kids school supplies.  How’s that for pinching pennies?

We made it through

Posted by Alicia on Friday Aug 28, 2009 Under Family, Life, education, parenting

Well my children and I both made it through the first week of school and every one’s still happy.  I can’t help but wonder just how long that’s going to last but hopefully it will last at least another week or two.  Hey, it could happen!!

My daughter has always loved school but the boys, well that’s a totally different story.  See they like to be out playing or doing what they want to when they want and school sort of puts a cramp in their style.  That’s okay because they complain that I cramp their style too.  I must be doing something right then.
