I hear you. We are primal, and do many of the same things you do to save money. The only thing I can think of is if you've looked for a meat CSA. I finally found one in our area, and can get our meat significantly cheaper. We also buy...
Girl, with a 4 week old, you are soooo in the thick of the transition. Let your house rot :) My DH also works long hours, and we have no family nearby. It's hard. I feel you. One thing that helped me, during the first few months,...
I've bedshared with 2, and still do :) We've never moved the bed to the floor, for various reasons. DH built a changing table/wall on 1 side, though, so it's kind of a permanent bed-rail. We're in a king, with a 3 1/2 year old and a 1...
No laughing here. I put a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 year old to bed by myself quite often. The 3 1/2 year old is hard, the one year old moderately easy. I think you have a couple of options. Option one is to do both together. What kind of...

Blackbird- good to hear! We're in a better place, too. What worked for you?  For us, I think it is totally about my reaction. Particularly when I'm overtired, I can get stuck in this, I'm the parent, you're the kid, you should...
oh yeah..... STOP WAKING UP THE MINUTE I TRY TO GET OUT OF BED!!!! I'ts nice of me to let you both sleep with us, instead of leaving you to cry like most of the people we know, so give me a break back and let me get up and stay the...
I think I would definitely consider paying off the student loans, IF you think you can bring your finances into the realm of do-able. I would first look into anything else you can do to lower payment/get assistance. I know you said you...
