Patches

After I had my baby, I snacked -- a lot. As a result, the pants I wear now are two sizes bigger than what I was wearing when I got pregnant. Now, I'm trying to lose the weight, both for health reasons and to get back into my "good" clothes.

In the meantime, I've been rotating three pairs of pants that are in the bigger size. A few days ago, though, my husband noticed a hole in one of my jeans. I don't want to buy new clothes, though, not when I have perfectly fine clothes waiting for me if I could just get the weight off. So I've decided to buy an iron-on patch to cover the hole. Hopefully, this will tide me over so that I don't need to buy new clothes.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
