Thrift Store Mama: It's there
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2015/03/it-there.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. I have come down with a stomach bug and the girls took such good care of me tonight and were so sweet and attentive. And I often worry that we are raising them with a sense of entitlement and that they don't seem grateful enough for all the blessings in their lives. But tonight showed me that those kernels of empathy are most definitely there. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Connor and Helen Grow Up. Zoe, Mia and Sophie's Big Adventure.

Thrift Store Mama: How to potty train without pull-ups
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2010/02/how-to-potty-train-without-pull-ups.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. How to potty train without pull-ups. I referenced in an earlier post about the system I have for washing out p00py big girl p@nties. I offered up a teaser. And one commenter fell for it! So now I have justification for sharing my system which I think is SOOOOO cool! I'm just opposed to people not thinking about how to potty train without pull-ups. I use padded washable underp@nts. Which we call big girl p@nties. Without further ado, here's my system:. Out and with your other han...

Thrift Store Mama: Joy and Enthusiasm
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2015/03/joy-and-enthusiasm.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. As I often feel on these sorts of monumental's occasions, I am simply overcome by gratitude for the many blessings in my life. I have troubles and trials just like the next person (see any of my posts related to mental health) but most of all, I am so blessed and I am so grateful. Im glad you had such a lovely day, and that everything went smoothly. Ramona looks lovely! March 18, 2015 at 2:08 PM. March 18, 2015 at 3:22 PM. She looks so sweet! March 19, 2015 at 11:09 AM.

Thrift Store Mama: Make new friends ... Or not
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2015/07/make-new-friends-or-not.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2015. Make new friends . Or not. Generally speaking, full-time stay-at-home moms I invite over for coffee after the kids are in school, and full-time working moms so I invite to get together on a late Saturday afternoon at the playground for a family play date. After several emails back-and-forth a couple weeks ago trying to find some mom only time to meet up, I just gave up. Perhaps that day will come one day, but for now I'll just invite her to meet up at the playground again. I thin...

Thrift Store Mama: Stewie
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2011/05/in-nutshell.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Stewie, looking to the left. I recently described Ramona as being like Stewie Griffith from the Family Guy. Some of my friends asked me to elaborate and I had trouble putting into words the cunning nature that I believe she possesses. But an incident today sums it up nicely. So I held her, and then walked up the stairs to the front door while saying to her, "Ramona, you may not bite your sister when you are mad.". Ramona, loking to the left. Good thing shes also so cute and sweet!

Thrift Store Mama: Vacation
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2015/06/vacation.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. We are on a little family vacay in Hawaii this week - we needed this time together. As always, Mr. Quimby has a meeting and it's all too easy to take the rest of us along for the ride. I said above that "we needed this time together" but really, I needed this time with them.

Thrift Store Mama: The Devil Lives at Value Village
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2008/03/devil-lives-at-value-village.html
Friday, March 14, 2008. The Devil Lives at Value Village. And this is what the devil looks like:. Esther loves to help me do laundry and she ran right up to this and started trying out all the knobs. I've never seen one in this good condition before, either. I was SALIVATING and thinking that I could use my stash of fabric scraps as pretend clothes for her to wash. But I walked away, and it was hard. You've heard of personal shoppers at Nordstrom? I did do an insignificant penance for my transgression...

Thrift Store Mama: Slush Fund Closure
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2013/11/slush-fund-closure.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. The work of changing my life from the DC Metro area to the Denver, Colorado area continues. Today I closed my "slush fund" account. The bank account that I always insisted had to be in my name only. I don't know why, exactly, that I felt so strongly about this - it has just always mattered to me to have at least one account with a bit of money in it in my name only. It wasn't even really a slush fund - Mr. Quimby just called it that. Labels: moving to Denver. It is a long tim...

Thrift Store Mama: Rocked It - Part 2
http://www.thriftstoremama.com/2015/03/rocked-it-part-2.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. Rocked It - Part 2. The big hearing that I've been working on was this past Friday. The committee voted in "my" favor by a unanimous vote of 14-0. It was great to win again, and frankly I hope the competing organization keeps bringing this issue to different venues because it creates excellent job security. I made some great new contacts in the process and feel like this win on a local level positioned me well should I ever want to take on more clients or even take a new job.
