Those who bring sunshine to others cannot keep it from themselves. Joie de vivre (zhwa-de-vee) is French South Louisiana-speak for "a joy of life". It is my hope that reading some of my posts will bring a smile to your day, or a little food for thought, or maybe even a stirring in your heart. Sprinkled throughout these pages, you will find many excerpts from some of my publications including the Mrs. Tightwad's Handbook series. Enjoy! (THIS SITE MAY TAKE A LITTLE MINUTE TO LOAD.)
Joie de vivre!
Love, Laugh, Live!

Who is Mrs. Tightwad?
Most of this blog is a collection of excerpts from some of my publications in the Mrs. Tightwad's Handbook series.
- ---> HOW TO SURVIVE DISASTERS AND OTHER HARD TIMES (Prepare for life's uncertainties without spending a fortune)
- ---> HOW TO MAKE HOME REMEDIES THAT REALLY WORK (with a special section on colds and flu)
- ---> HOW TO COOK AND LIVE LIKE A REAL CAJUN: Jazz up your kitchen without setting your mouth on fire...
- ---> HOW TO GET RID OF INSECT PESTS WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE
- ---> QUICK FIXES, SUBSTITUTES & EASY FORMULAS FOR OVER 100 "CAN'T-DO-WITHOUT" ITEMS
Every handbook features pull-out guides with lots of information for fast reference at your fingertips.
Mrs. Tightwad's Handbook series is being considered for future publication as eBooks, before going to print as hardcopy books.

Dear U.S. Department of Homeland Security:
I am writing to you for further instructions as to what the next step is for me to take in protecting my family from possible attacks by terrorists. I have my duck taped ... now what?
I found the duck here: http://www.pep-c.org/homepage/
Nice site! It would make a great model for other local communities to follow. The Gig Harbor, Washington folks really do "get it".
WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THIS PREPAREDNESS STUFF AROUND HERE?
The unexpected can befall anyone: illness, accidents, serious injury, unemployment, fire... the list is long and is an equal-opportunity dealer. Everyone is vulnerable.
With the right knowledge, you can do better than just survive... you can thrive, even when the unexpected happens.
With the right knowledge, you can do better than just survive... you can thrive, even when the unexpected happens.
Man's education will not teach us how to survive Armageddon, but I hope that some of my posts and publications will help smooth some of the rough spots in your roads through life. A case of The Unexpecteds can wreck even the best laid plans. Being prepared to help yourself and those around you brings greater peace of mind.
For the past decade, I have been working on a monster project that has gotten way too big to self publish. I needed to break it into pieces, or else suffocate beneath its sheer size and weight.
One bite sized piece of it is called Mrs. Tightwad's Handbook #1 HARD TIMES HANDBOOK: HOW TO SURVIVE DISASTERS AND OTHER HARD TIMES Prepare for Life's Uncertainties Without Spending a Fortune.
This is not your average disaster survival handbook. True to Mrs. Tightwad's skinflint tradition, this handbook will also help you save time and money every day. Whether you are very well prepared, or if you are only slightly prepared, you will benefit from this practical, can't-do-without kind of book.
Much of the handbook has been author-tested; the rest of it has been given a honest nose-in-the-dirt test drive by someone, somewhere in the real world. I hope no one ever needs to put some of this stuff to actual use, but much of my blog contains excerpts from my upcoming Hard Times handbook that would be of help you in case you are ever put to the test...
