My son turns 9 today! Sadly Justin Bieber turns 19 today. For some reason my son hates JB more than about anything in the world. It likely has something to do with the Biebs being a “teen heart throb” or something and making all the girls in his class every year remind him that he [...]

Remember the other day when I was complaining about my kids and their reading / writing problems? While discussing on facebook about these issues I realized that not all counties have to do spelling tests this way. I’m in one of the “best” counties for education in Tennessee (or so they tell me). This is [...]

I know I’ve looked at Cheech’s spelling before and thought, “Oh how cute!” The teachers this year have had the kids sound words out and write things “how they think they should be spelled” which I think works well to a point. The problem is she’s been writing her own way now for the bulk [...]

A tiny backstory, the other day while at Kroger she received a bunch of stickers at the checkout. She was so excited about her 15+ holiday Kroger stickers she squealed loudly, [...]

I was overwhelmed to say the least. Sick to say the most. I have had a few of those, “oh crap – what are the kids up to” moments in my career as a mom. I have walked into a room full of powder while the kids are throwing it into the air, giggling, and [...]

Oh my gosh, ya’ll. I’m not kidding when I tell you that my mom saved some “collectible” Furby toys from 1998 and then gave them to my kids this summer. I guess she thought, “Wow my kids were in college in 1998 and missed out on the young kid Furby experience” or something because when [...]

Ah the school year has started back and I was all smug about how I knew it all going into this year. I mean, 1st and 3rd grade? Same school, many of the same kids, same teachers, same rules, etc. Oh how I naive I was. Tonight I had my first parent night meeting for this school [...]

Hello! I'm Riki and I'm married...with children. :) I have two elementary age children ("Cheech" and "the boy"). I am a deal hunter and I started this page to share those deals with friends. I have realized that I love sharing stories about being a mama too. Frugal living has challenges, but I try to stay cheap for my peeps. We're a Dave Ramsey following family - yes we have envelopes and everything. Stick around if you want to follow our frugal lives (and hopefully help me learn to raise these crazy kiddos of mine!)
I have a whole page that tells more about me if you want to get to know a little more. Have a great day!!Get smart with the Thesis WordPress Theme from DIYthemes.
