High-Chair Replacement Covers

One of my good friends gave my husband and I her children's high chair once her youngest outgrew it. And it has been great not having to buy one ourselves.

However, my daughter is the third child to use it, and because babies can be messy, its cover has been washed a few too many times.

I had hoped I could find a replacement cover on the manufacturer's website or somewhere else online, but the best I could do was order a handmade one on Etsy. The sellers charge a little more than I'd like to pay, but it would still be cheaper than buying a whole new chair. (One of the Etsy sellers, though, has hers priced high enough that I'd buy a new chair before I'd pay that much for just the cover. Don't get me wrong, I know how much work goes into handmade items and her covers are adorable and worth the money, but for someone in my financial situation, high chair covers are functional, not fashion statements.)

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.

Marking a Milestone; Saving on Internet

I just noticed this is post number 100. Whoo hooo! I found an even cheaper solution to my home Internet. Currently, we pay $110 a month to the phone company for our home phone and Internet service and $28 a month to the cable company for basic cable. My plan was to switch our Internet to the cable company, which would cost about $65 a month for the level of Internet speed I'd like to get, then cut out TV cable service and the home phone. That would eliminate the $110 phone bill all together, but what we pay to the cable company would a little more than double. To get TV service, I bought this: I love the Roku, which streams TV shows and movies to the TV. It doesn't require a subscription to a service to stream -- there are quite a few free options -- but to increase variety and to have access to new TV shows, I sprang for subscriptions to Netflix and HuluPlus. (Until my membership to Amazon Prime expires this coming December, I also have a whole additional set of shows ...
