Why is Devon writing The Green Notebook?

Two reasons. Mostly. I have a blog--The Yellow Notebook--but have noticed that blogs with specific goals seem to shine. So I decided that I would blog about the next two-and-a-half years as we work REALLY hard at squeezing my husband through nursing school while randomly making money, consistently saving ourselves money, raising small children, writing a novel, dealing with the current economy, trusting God and deepening our friendships, et al. Watch the balancing act! Also, my friends have been complaining that blogs tend to be, well... life edited. So I am going to try NOT to edit out the things that make us a real family with real financial and other struggles. And in this ring...

By the way, I have not named my children "Boy" and "Girl." I just like to refer to them that way on the blog. I also refer to my nephew as "Baby."

And here is my tagline:
What economy? Or Diary of a Young, Urbanite, Apolitical, Lower-Income, Middle-Class, Writer, Foodie, Artist, Stay-at-Home Mom.

*If you want to know our story and the protracted story of this blog, see the entry from January 17, 2010, titled appropriately "Our Story."

More Low-Budg Halloween Fun


So someone turned on the October switch in the night last night. We went from 80s to 60s and windy overnight. Beautiful, though, with blue skies and great, billowy clouds. However, we are stuck inside for the weekend because I am trying to rest and diet and supplement myself to health from a sinus infection. Great time to watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, eat popcorn and hot chocolate (except I can't have the dairy). But not before grabbing three jars from the cupboard and some collaging supplies (as well as the cover of Women's Day; shh! Don't tell) and making some attractive and more-lasting-than-jack o'lanterns home decor. Guess which one is whose.
