The Amateur Tightwad: Like a Fish on the Hook
http://amateurtightwad.blogspot.com/2008/07/like-fish-on-hook.html
Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Like a Fish on the Hook. Something I might include the next time I'm asked to meme something about myself: Generally, I hate staged kid photos. Photos of, say, Tommy just weeks before admitting he had a problem at Gamblers Anonymous:. Or Sylvia in a little number we like to call "Random Feet":. Or Tommy sleeping off a drunk while Sylvia suspiciously eyes the creepy man offstage:. We've been a little stumped about where to...

The Amateur Tightwad: Quick Tip: Green Bathtub Scrub
http://amateurtightwad.blogspot.com/2008/07/quick-tip-green-bathtub-scrub.html
Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Sunday, July 27, 2008. Quick Tip: Green Bathtub Scrub. I'm currently addicted to Recipezaar. Where you can find a recipe for anything. Zucchini. 279 recipes. Mushroom risotto? 65 recipes. Suckling pig? You can also find recipes for things like body scrub, homemade deodorant. No, I haven't tried, but Amy at Angry Chicken did. Faced with a tub desperately in need of cleaning, I found and just tried this recipe, and it works great:. 1 cup baking soda.

Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Thursday, June 26, 2008. Fun for Nothin' Challenge. I've been a fan of Meg McElwee's for a bit.

Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Tuesday, September 2, 2008. I used to have a blog called Slowish Food that I put on hiatus when I got pregnant and couldn't stand to think or write about food that wasn't unhealthy, heavy in carbs, and spoonable.

The Amateur Tightwad: August 2008
http://amateurtightwad.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Saturday, August 9, 2008. Opinion: Should Kids be Shielded from Frugality? This came, I'll admit, the same day I'd called Phil on my way taking the kids to daycare to tell him to check out an oak student's desk our neighbors were throwing out, and maybe trash-pick. It for one of the kids. (He did. It's in the garage waiting for me to make some light repairs.). But 50-cent yard-sale jeans that a six-year-old outgrew embarrassing? I feel strongly th...

The Amateur Tightwad: The Recycle Diaries
http://amateurtightwad.blogspot.com/2008/07/recycle-diaries.html
Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Wednesday, July 9, 2008. Ask not why I've been a sluggish poster. I'm typing one-handed right now with a baby on my lap. A baby who just got three vaccines. A snuggly. Baby who hasn't wanted to do anything but be held and gazed upon for a month. I'm not complaining, but blogging does become difficult. Somewhere in the last week or so I joined Freecycle. If you're not familiar with this, it's a network of Yahoo! I saw this great sundress on the blog.

The Amateur Tightwad: Two Blogs, Seven Kids
http://amateurtightwad.blogspot.com/2008/07/two-blogs-seven-kids.html
Learning to be a More Conscientious and Thrifty Consumer. Saturday, July 12, 2008. Two Blogs, Seven Kids. I just have two fun blogs to share today. And blog reading is free, right? It was just about a year ago that Phil and I were completely taken aback by the realization that we were very unexpectedly expecting a third. And I remember the panic and the "how can we swing it? Moments that accompanied this rather regular and almost mundane pregnancy. And she is pregnant. With quadruplets. I might add that ...
