Wool Wash: Purchase and Product Reviews

Total Spent Today: $12.86

A couple of weeks ago, I ran out of wool wash.  Now for some people that would be no big deal.  But in my household, running out of wool wash is akin to running out of toilet paper.  Okay, well maybe that’s not a good analogy.  It’s like running out of toothpaste or shampoo or [...]

MLK Day: Stocked up on Shampoo & Conditioner

Total Spent Today: $32.26

The Daughter was indeed too sick to go anywhere yesterday.  The Son and I participated in the march walking the parade route twice — once in the parade and then back again to where we’d parked the car.  The weather was gorgeous and our fellow marchers were a jolly group;  althogether it was a memorable [...]

Minor mundane expenses

Tired. Worn out. Demoralized.
That’s the state of my existence lately.  I’m under quite a bit of stress related to my efforts to revive my online children’s clothing business.  I’m sleeping very poorly, due, I assume, to the stress.

I put gas [...]

But I made a [...]
