I talked to the medical guy about overseas screening today, he was very helpful even if we couldn’t make any appointments just yet. I am relieved to find out nothing will take very long. I think my husband has most of his started as they have to keep up their medical stuff in the first [...]
We have to rent our house out because the market is not that great. Other homes in our area have sat for months before selling, dropping their prices lower and lower as time goes on. We don’t want to lose money by having the house sit empty for months and by having to sell at [...]
The first thing I did when I realize we were moving was shove it from my mind. Of course that doesn’t get anything done so a couple of days later I started making a list, several really. I have lists of what we need to do around the house, what errands we need to do [...]

The room is always a mess. It is [...]
The Bee Movie comes out this weekend, today actually. My daughter has been keeping track of today on her calendar (it looks really cute, she drew a bee on today’s square) because she really wants to go see it.
My question is what do the kids allowances pay for? Should I have them pay their own [...]
Today we started the kids allowance. We decided to double their age so they get $12 and $8 each. I decorated three jars for each of them - one for savings, spending and donation. At this point they are so young the savings will probably be converted into a long term investment when they get [...]
