Family Time

Happy Independence Day, everyone! I hope you have a good day celebrating with your family and friends!

On Monday, my husband, daughter and I took a drive so that we could use a Red Robin gift card we got last Christmas for lunch. The good news: The food was very tasty. The bad news: We spent just as much as we do when we dine out at home, even after the gift card was applied, not to mention the gas to drive that far.

To be fair, we ordered dessert, which we don't typically do, and we ordered food for our daughter, too, which in most cases, we just feed her from our plates, but it was still amazing how quickly it all added up. It was a nice family outing, but we spent a lot more than if we had just stayed closer to home.

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.
