Day 1
Oh please, day 1 of anything is easy. I got up early to get started on the laundry. The solar dryer takes a tad more discipline than the ’round-the-clock electric job sitting in my garage. And yes, I had gotten rather lazy about using the solar one. But I’ve signed on for 30 days of [...]
Tradition!
I thought about this, just this morning. Not the running of the bulls, per se, but why do I do things the way I do? I was, at the time, doing laundry, of course. I mean you can’t swing a d**d cat around my day without hitting some laundry activity. Now, if you have been [...]
When You Rise Up…
Have y’all read in the “How to Parent” books and the “How to Homeschool” books that chapter about talking to your children? Or how ’bout that chapter in the Bible where God commands that we talk to our children all the time. This is easy when they’re little, but when they get to be older [...]
My New Solar Clothes Dryer
I love Amazon.com I ordered my new solar powered clothes dryer, and it shipped the next day, and it got here the next day after that, and the shipping was free! The only down-side to my plan to spend more time talking with my children while getting a little more exercise and sun and saving [...]
Real Pirates Don’t Wear Polka Dots

Laundry Freedom
Does frugal mean only things financial? Or can I be frugal with my time? How about being frugal with my energy? I know that my definition includes these aspects. I’m just wondering if this post will qualify for the Frugal Friday Carnival @ Biblical Womanhood. Well, we’ve been revamping the laundry system aboard this Pirate [...]
Laundry Lady
I hope y’all aren’t tired of hearing all my dirty laundry woes. ‘Cuz it ain’t goin’ away. These Pirates wear clothes EVERY DAY. Fortunately The Princess hasn’t formed that bad habit of changing -clothes -several -times -a -day -for -absolutely -no -good -reason, that many American Princesses indulge in. But, that said, it’s a mountain [...]
Laundry You Can Sink Your Teeth Into
First, The Princess would like you all to know that she has lost her first tooth. Well, her first voluntary tooth loss. Her first natural, normal tooth losing. The thing is, about 6 months ago, a Pirate who shall remain responsible I mean nameless ok it was Cannonball Jack, hit her in the mouth with [...]
Whirlpool, Oxyclean & Tide
Sometimes you just gotta drop names. Y’all remember, I only recently got my Whirlpool washing machine and I love it. I really ought to name it, because I have a very fond affection for my Whirlpool washer. Well, before getting the lovely Whirlpool, I was doing our considerable (11-17 loads per week) laundry at the [...]
