I’ve been writing a lot lately about grocery shopping on a budget, and about how we took some unexpected financial hits over the holidays. Being on a budget controls my life lately, and for the first time since we got married, The Workaholic has given me more control over the finances. He was handling them…

JT’s 20/20 Experience Comes to MY House
Back in the day when I was just a little gal, I was in love with this curly headed little boy named Justin on the Mickey Mouse Club. Fast forward to high school, and this flipping awesome boy band drops onto the scene with the curly-headed cutie as its front man. I was super stoked….
Paleo Meal Planning – Cheap As I Wanna Be
This week is insane tough for us. I’m waiting on a few payments and the unexpected expenses of life keep cropping up. Truth is, we haven’t recovered from Christmas yet, and we didn’t even spend that much! I don’t usually have anxiety problems, but this week I haven’t been able to sleep, there has been…
Valentine’s Day Outfits on a Budget
I’m the biggest slacker on the face of the planet. It’s February and I still haven’t had Christmas photos taken of my kiddos. Is it too late? It might be too late, huh? SO I thought maybe I’d do Valentine’s Day cards, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it…
Clean Living with Ology
I am always on a quest to find the best, safest, and most easily accessible products for my kids. I refuse to use anything made by many of the major brands because of their insistence in using formaldehyde in their products. We are daily slathering our children with embalming fluid, people! That’s disgusting! Should we…
Today’s HOTTEST Zulily Sales

But today is crazy good. Columbia is featuring winter and hiking shoes, women’s & men’s clothing and workout gear, and…

It’s no secret that the entire Dirty Floor Diaries family loves Sears.

From the amazing warranties on their appliances and tools, to the…
Migraine Milkshakes
I woke up this morning thinking that it was awfully light outside for 7:30. See, I don’t use a traditional alarm clock. My alarm clocks are named Grady, Styles, & Madilyn. Styles uses an alarm clock and he gets me up at 7:30 if I’m not already awake thanks to Grady. I sniffed Grady’s…
After School Snacks for Picky Eaters
We eat a lot of fruit in this family, and I’m trying to get my kids to eat more vegetables. It’s not always their favorite so I look for new ways for them to get their nutrients. It’s no secret that my kids have fallen in LOVE with Tyson’s Mini Chicken Sandwiches. Madilyn can inhale…
Mom vs Tween : Holiday Clothing
I don’t know when exactly it happened, but my baby boy turned into a tween. He is independent, wants to tuck himself in at night (though I’m convinced it’s just so that I don’t see his messy room), and has his own ideas of what good fashion is. His ideas on fashion change daily. Case…
