Diaper Extenders to Keep Tiny Shirts Clean and Dry

October 5, 2013 By Frugal Babe

I was just browsing through Zulily, and saw a great idea for people with babies.  I especially like the fact that it looks like it would be pretty easy to make it yourself if you wanted to.   If you go to the main sale page, just scroll down until you come to the Melzy… Continue Reading

50% Off Ergobaby Carriers

July 9, 2013 By Frugal Babe

Just a quick post to let you guys know that Ergobaby carriers are 50% off  today on Zulily!  They’re going fast (in the 15 minutes since I first saw the sale, the lowest-priced carriers have already sold out), but there are still several available in the $70 range.  When I was pregnant with our second… Continue Reading

Our New Car

May 7, 2012 By Frugal Babe

We have car news!  We bought a new – to us – car.  Actually, we bought it a year ago, but we now have the title in hand, so it’s truly ours now.  If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I was a fan of my Honda Civic.  But at 20… Continue Reading

Simple Parenting

April 27, 2012 By Frugal Babe

A few days ago, I got an email from a reader named Katie who had this to say: I was wondering if you would be interested in a post for us with kids or soon to be kids as in my case.  I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and agree with a lot of things… Continue Reading

Milk Donation – A Unique (And Frugal!) Volunteer Opportunity For New Moms

February 12, 2012 By Frugal Babe

Tomorrow morning when I go into town to run errands with the boys, we’ll be stopping at the local hospital to drop of 17 bags of breast milk that I’m donating.  It will be pasteurized and combined with milk from other donors, and then distributed to sick infants in NICUs across the country.  I’m going… Continue Reading

Fitting Children Into A Life We Love

September 7, 2011 By Frugal Babe

I got the following email from Connie in response to my post asking you what you wanted me to write about: It feels like many of the decisions you have made came about as a result of both your values and preparing yourselves and your home for children. How might your decisions have changed if… Continue Reading

Children And Money – Does It All Even Out?

May 10, 2011 By Frugal Babe

We’ve all heard how expensive children are.  And there are definitely some expenses that are tough to avoid.  We’re paying about $270/month for health insurance for our two boys, and there’s not really a way around that expense (we have a high deductible health insurance policy already, so that cost is on the low end… Continue Reading

Settling Into Life With Two Boys

April 19, 2011 By Frugal Babe

Thanks for all the congratulations and well-wishes on the birth of our second little guy!  We’re doing great.  We’re settling into life with two boys, and so far, it’s awesome.  As far as frugality goes, we’re keeping on with our usual path.  One nice thing about having two boys is that we have boat loads… Continue Reading

It’s A Boy!

April 12, 2011 By Frugal Babe

Our second son arrived on Friday, and we’ve been enjoying a blissful few days of getting to know him. His birth was dramatically easier and faster than our first son’s, and I’m feeling great. We had another homebirth, and this time the baby arrived 20 minutes after the midwife did – there was barely time… Continue Reading

A Big Boy Bed

February 9, 2011 By Frugal Babe

When our son was born, we bought an organic crib mattress for him.  He slept in our bed for a few months, and still comes in from time to time to sleep with us during the night, but most of the time he sleeps on his crib mattress.  Last year, we got a wooden toddler… Continue Reading
