I feel like I'm becoming one of those "boring" carter moms..?

I'm talking about the ones who shop at Carters.. Old navy.. baby gap.. I spend my time getting excited about little recipes.

I used to be cool.

I found out this morning when I looked in the mirror and found myself wearing a cardigan with my hair in a ponytail, with my nose stud missing. Right before I logged on to a Christian mommy forum.

The first thing that popped into my head was. "omg. I looked up frugal recipes yesterday. I decided I wanted to decorate a cake by hand for fun. and the other day, and I was window shopping at gymboree while looking at the magazine babytalk.

Two years ago, I would have been listening to blue october, making hemp chokers, and shopping for clothes at soul flower. Do you ever feel like as a parent you've lost yourself in societys mumbo jumbo?

The other day I got irritated with a telemarketer and I said "I'm getting tired of these beaches and their sheets." And there were no kids around.

Oh yes. I prowl the supermarket waiting for cleaning products or bread to come on sale 'so I know I've got a bargain.' The highlights of my day are washing my daughter's clothes and answering questions in Newborn and Baby. Um, and I am deadly serious.

Before I had Alissa, I would be catching up with friends, going shopping, getting my hair done or just doing something for ME. Now, I can't go out to lunch because Alissa will cry, nothing fits me when I go shopping so there's no point, and I don't have the time or motivation to do anything for ME.

Oh well, comes with the job description I suppose =]


The American Frugal Housewife


The American Frugal Housewife


$3.55


The true economy of housekeeping is simply the art of gathering up all the fragments, so that nothing be lost. I mean fragments of _time_, as well as _materials_. Nothing should be thrown away so long as it is possible to make any use of it, however trifling that use may be; and whatever be the size of a family, every member should be employed either in earning or saving money....

frugality is a virtue
