My friends laugh at me for using my VHS player within the tv. O.k. I laugh at myself too, but the t.v. still works so why not use it. :D It started with not having a lot of money and became a way of life.Ann On and On...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06615400031267355211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893251115350599813.post-36569671475753812492009-11-20T13:24:29.409-05:002009-11-20T13:24:29.409-05:00We are simplifying here.

The clutter alone takes up so much space. And since we've been purging and changing... we've been a lot more content. <br />Sometimes less really does mean more.Corinne Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604810312185816792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893251115350599813.post-32532210753301534962009-11-20T11:41:31.253-05:002009-11-20T11:41:31.253-05:00Oh- I found you on SITSOh- I found you on SITSMamaOtwins+1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18185644439047811448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893251115350599813.post-15067439493867337252009-11-20T11:41:20.970-05:002009-11-20T11:41:20.970-05:00I made a whole post on being frugal for Christmas ...I made a whole post on being frugal for Christmas this year last friday.

I mean the kids are happy, but there is NO sense going into debt for things you can make do with or wait until your stuff completly wears out.

It's so good to know that I actually DON'T suck because I never bought $300 skinny jeans. :)<br /><br />And this speaks to the core of what I believe to be true. We don't need all of this stuff and while I currently live with someone who is excessive in every genre they purchase from...it's good to be reminded that I'm not actually a mean cheapo mommy.<br /><br />(My daughter does NOT need 14 brand new pairs of zip up Pajamas when I do laundry every week and she'll grow out of them within 4 months.***This last comment was obviously only a passive aggressive rant at my stepmother*** I really, really appreciate her buying things for my daughter...but I constantly have to remind her "not THAT much")Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757280124096489279noreply@blogger.com
