Since we are going to move out of this house at some point, we don’t want to have to put in a lot of permanent fixtures to any of the rooms. On one hand you want your home to hold all of your things – we don’t have enough storage set up here – but [...]
Last week at gymnastics, a friend of ours told us about the local $2 theater – somehow in living here for 16 months we never knew about it! We took the kids to the theater earlier this evening to see “Meet The Robinsons.” It was such a good movie! I usually really like the kids [...]
A quick reminder to have an antivirus program on your computer! Here is a place for free Norton AntiVirus downloads. Setting up all of my antivirus/antispyware programs was the first thing I did on the laptop. It’s best to have a couple of different pieces of software on your computer as they each protect against [...]
A couple of weeks ago I stopped by Lowe’s and managed to get some CFL light bulbs on sale. I replaced the bulbs in the ceiling fan but nothing else yet. I’m debating taking them back and finding a lower wattage bulb. I have always liked bright rooms, I don’t like it to be dark [...]

We don’t have the greatest storage system in the garage, thus I end up cleaning and reorganizing it every month or so. Today I had to clean it up before I could move the dryers around – they are so big and needed more space that what was available. Of course cleaning it and moving [...]
Well I got the new dryer today. I did take advantage of the sale that Sears was having and was in and out of the store in about 15 minutes! That included the pick up time, which I was glad only claimed to have taken 21 seconds. It fit in the van and we came [...]
Earlier this month I wrote about having a new escrow analysis completed – due to two issues but I blame both on the bank. They claimed to have not received the new paperwork from the insurance company. I think they could have adjusted their numbers regarding the property taxes, but they didn’t. I called today [...]
When looking at homes there are always so many things you have to keep straight. I always advise to really trust your realtor, she can lead you into your dream home or take it away. When you are looking at modular homes it is a good idea to pick a floor plan you love. A [...]
