What’s Up this Week?

Posted on February 12, 2012 by admin

Hey all!  I thought I’d write a post to let you all know how the old re-launch is going:  AMAZING! Honestly, I could not have asked for a better result.  I’m so happy I took the time to really make everything over and get things just so.  I’ve got Facebook ads now, which has really helped with my page traffic, it’s helping me connect with people who are interested in the same kinds of things I am, the stuff Lottie Hop is about, and that’s magic! I also love having the time to sit down and write a blog post … Continue reading →

Guuurl, I love a deal! And a good manifesto!

Posted on February 6, 2012 by admin

One thing about me that is probably obvious: I love deals.  I love bargain shopping.  I love finding things for practically nothing.  It keeps my cost of living for my family pretty low at times, and it really helps when it comes to my work.  I subscribe to coupon sites (for the baby formula coupons mostly), and some mommy type sites in case there are any good deals on clothes or diapers or what have you.  Now don’t misunderstand me: I love talking about my kid.  However, this is not a mommy blog.  Mommy blogs are great for finding out … Continue reading →

And, I’m back!

My whole life is one big thrift

Posted on August 15, 2011 by admin

I try to only thrift on Thursdays…but it’s become impossible!  I find so many good things, and it’s gotten to the point where I think I’m missing out on things if I don’t go.  I don’t always come away with anything, but this week there’s been a deluge of great stuff coming at me!  Tuesday I went to Baras Thrift Store and Revivals Resale and Consignment.  Baras had kids clothes on sale for 10 cents apiece!  I bought Char some really cute stuff, and since she just grew out of four pairs of jammies, it was a good thing I … Continue reading →

Thrifting Thursday #3

Posted on August 12, 2011 by admin

Hey!  It’s Thrifting Thursday!  Did anyone go thrifting today?  I’ve been thrifting on and off all week (like I do).  Tuesday I went to a thrift store I don’t visit as much because I don’t live in the area, called Baras.  It’s uptown from where I live.  They were having a killer sale on kids clothes!  Are you ready?  TEN CENTS APIECE!  I found some Carter’s items, a sweet dress, a blankie, a bib and bloomers.  I also found a mother load of yarn, all fifty cents a skein.  I picked up a set of knitting needles as well; I’ve … Continue reading →

Comic Con!

Posted on July 23, 2011 by admin

Second Sister in Command and myself were at Comic Con yesterday from the crack of the doors opening until about 4p.m. at which point we said, “I’m going to collapse!” So we went and hung out at what I like to call the “lumpy park” for awhile and then called it good. We started our day out with a tiny bit of disappointment as the single panel we really wanted to see, Torchwood: Miracle Day, had a line that was already out the door of the Convention Center and snaking its way towards a restaurant not even on the premises. … Continue reading →
