I wish I knew how to be a 50′s mother. LOL
I wish I could sew, cook to beat the band, vaccuum in heels, clean anything!
I don’t wear pants. I haven’t in almost 5 years. I have a hard time finding modest skirts I like, (at least to the knee, and not too tight) If I knew how to sew I could make some, but then I guess I’d need a sewing machine too. lol Also Lydia has a TON of Onesies, but now that it is getting cooler I want to put a little skirt on her or a jumper. Sigh. My silly little woes.
Today was a decent day. I use Nursery water for Lydia to drink, dilute her juice, and to make her cereal. The cheapest it usually is, Walmart $1.28 a gallon. Publix had it for 5 for $5. I swung over there and they rang up for $1.49 each. So I got one free (I was unaware of that policy, but cool!) so I got 5 for $4. At CVS ECB’s for the quarter are out. Pampers were $9.88 and I had a $2 MFR coupon, and $1.50 ECB, also got a coupon for CVS Gold Emblem Nuts $2 off 2, they had little pouches of cashews for 99 cents, so I got them for Free.
When I got home I had a $25 Mater Card Debit Card in the mail that I had won. (Cool) AND Fred ordered me a new laptop!!!! He had something sell on eBay for $175, and we got our security deposit back from our old apt. I told him we should use it on something more practical, but my old laptop only had an 18G hard drive. Photos and videos of Lydia from April-September 21, and it was FULL. lol Beggers can’t be choosers, so I was satisfied, but we got a decent deal on a new Dell inspiron 15. WHEE! Less than $500 including shipping and tax!
Still doing youdata, the few cents a week add up. youdata.com/join/mrsknapp

Sewing isn’t that hard to get into and skirts are some of the easiest projects to start with.
And you could probably find a decent used sewing machine for a good price. Have you checked craigslist or something like that? You can save a lot of money sewing your own clothes, especially when you can find good deals on fabric. I always aim for $3 or less per yard on fabric. Hancock Fabrics online has some good sales from time to time and so does Fabric.com. Or if you have a Hobby Lobby near you they have really cute fabric too!
@averyswife - That’s good to know. We actually have a Hobby Lobby right next to our apartment complex, and JoAnn’s Fabrics right up the street. Maybe I will check Craigslist….
