My Next Big Thing

It's been 3 years since I moved to New Mexico from Poland - all in the name of Love :-) I worked as a teacher for 2 years and right now I'm a stay at home mom to our little Zuzu (yes, she has many names and they usually start with Z). I've been running my blog for almost a year now. It's pretty exciting :-) I'm definitely going to continue The Frugal Burqueno but I'm also starting My Next Big Thing! I'm going to open an online store selling European Food! I hope my idea works out! I would like to stay home with Zo and run my own business. And here comes the question to all my friends: what kind of European food do you like ? Your advice would help me with the product selection I'd offer. ANY SUGGESTION is more than welcome. It's all totally new to me. Thanks guys!

Accidentally frugal ;-)

How frugal is that? It has not been planned :-) It must be true that babies grow when they sleep ;-) This is what happened to the panda pajamas overnight :) It was fun to see and I actually felt quite content that we made such a good use out of these jammies. This has never happened before as we go through a lot of baby clothes so quickly we hardly remember them. We have other pajamas but they are not footed and since our monkey started to climb up the crib I had to dress her in something that would make her slide down :-) Well, maybe this way she will remember her pandas. I think she liked them. I should find the same ones but bigger!

Summer Fun with Kids!

I've heard about Groupon and Social Living for a long time. I've watched their deals but haven't bought anything until last night! I decided to check out the Bounce n' Boogie place which is close to our house. I hope my baby likes it there! $22 for one month of unlimited early childhood enrichment classes sounds good to me :-) If you're looking for more summer fun, Hinkle Family Fun Center in Albuquerque offers a deal through Groupon right now. Wishing all the kids a wonderful summer vacation! P.S. What were your favorite Groupon or Social Living deals? Do you check them daily?
