  Lindsay is clever. And, she is frugal. Wonderful traits to have.  Two little boys will now be followed by one little girl and so the challenge becomes clothes and bedding and curtains and color.

Leggings Like Magic

Easter Sunday Once Again

Retro Kitchen Towels

---

  “She was the life of the Tupperware Party.” -Goofy Retro Saying-   Retro is a funny word. Retro things often give me a “funny” feeling.

  Sunday is Easter and the ham is in my refrigerator. But how will people know where to sit? What a silly question. They will know because I will give them a hint. A peat pot hint. SO, SO quick and easy. Here are the parts: 4′ peat pots (12 for dollarsignr2.69 at Smith’s Marketplace)... read more »
