Back to School Buying
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Marketing is out of control these days, right? Stores fill with Christmas merchandise in October, Valentine’s Day stuff in late December, and Easter stuff before Lent has even begun.
It’s so common that I don’t want to make a cliché out of myself by kvetching about it, so I usually keep my mouth shut.
However, I did a big eye-roll this year when I saw that our local big box stores had Back-to-School... READ MORE

Stockpiling vs. Hoarding
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, June 28, 2010
I am a minimalist by nature, so finding groceries on sale, while exciting, doesn’t normally compel me to stock up. Why do I need five bottles of ketchup, even if it’s a really good deal? One or two will do the trick.
Lately, however, I’ve been on a couponing kick. Now that I’m keeping track of grocery store prices, I find myself thinking more about getting the items we use at the best price possible.... READ MORE
Sleepwear Options for Nursing Moms
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, June 04, 2010
Hey ladies,
I’m hoping you can help me out today. I need to buy new nursing pajamas before the wee one arrives in September. There are so many lovely options available but I’ve found it can be hard to choose nursing pajamas from a picture alone (and unfortunately, there aren’t many options available in the stores in my area).
Here is what I’m hoping to find:
—pajamas that are modest enough to be... READ MORE
Find a Fit That Flatters
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, May 28, 2010
I imagine we’ve all faced the challenge at some point of finding clothes that successfully meet the needs of both our unique senses of style as well as our personal standards of modesty. Department stores have long been chock full of barely-there pieces while magazines try to convince us that confident women aren’t afraid to show a whole lot of skin.
Despite these attempts by the powers-that-be,... READ MORE

How I Feed the Masses

I’m wondering if you might mind sharing how you manage to keep groceries. I’ll clarify, enough groceries around your house with everyone home all the time. I am literally 1 1/2 blocks from the store but cannot seem to keep enough food here. Do you bulk shop? Do you plan meals? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!
Hmmm. Shall I begin with an ugly confession?... READ MORE
My Latest Retro Obsession
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, May 14, 2010
As some of you may have noticed, I’m a vintage-lovin’ fool. You may also have deduced, from the size of my ever-growing family, that I am a sucker for sweet babies. When I discovered that the gals over at My Retro Baby had gone right ahead and married those two passions of mine I knew immediately that I was done for. (Not that I’m complaining, mind you.)
Would you care to wander with me through the... READ MORE
Do You Love Your Toaster?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Homemaking on Wednesday, May 12, 2010
In the discussion following my recent post about my re-found love of waffles, Jamie asks about feeding the masses at breakfast time:
Danielle…or any mom of many, for that matter…do you have just one waffle maker? or several? or how do you make waffles in a timely fashion for the whole brood?? I LOVE the idea of homemade waffles and know my ten little ones would as well, but dread the notion of... READ MORE
Getting the Size Right
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, May 07, 2010
I was recently admiring all the pretty new summer clothes on display at my favorite modest boutiques and had to sigh because so many of my most coveted frocks and blouses simply wouldn’t be modest on my figure.
I really can’t wear thin materials or anything that comes close to being low-cut, and forget about button-ups! It occurred to me that many of you probably face a similar dilemma.
How many... READ MORE
