Rainy Days Broke-Ass Mom Style

I’m literally giddy with excitement.  We are finally getting rain this week, and rain means rainy day activities.  It’s means I can finally stretch my Broke-Ass Mom rainy day arms, and whip out my special bag of tricks.  When my husband was at home with our son, he used to

What Does a Broke-Ass Kid Want for the Holidays?

I thought I’d do a two-parter starting this week:  One part “What does a Broke-Ass kid want?” and one part “What does a Broke-Ass Mom want?”  You know what’s so great about kids?  Up until a certain age (I’ve yet to discover at what age this changes) kids love the
