Wise and frugal # 2

A long time ago, I have posted my simple way of living here Switzerland. From buying second hand reading materials to children's clothes and I would say that for a very long time I haven't buy anything new aside from the book on sewing. :-)
Anyway, I am listing some of the happenings here for those who want to shop for less and at the same time enjoy the nice weather.

Bon week-end!

I'm always looking for ways to save money.

Recently I've been checking out DVDs at the library. I love it because there is no cost, they have some pretty recent titles and, the best part, you can keep them longer than you can when you check them out from the video store!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again.

As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Just like Winnie the Pooh

I want to be like him today. Smiling...even if Erin's sick and hasn't been sleeping well for two nights now. Or despite the fact that my computer is under repair.
