I can cross a bassinet off of my list of baby things to get - a friend gave me hers yesterday! One of the pieces has a small piece missing and I’m going to try to buy the part off of the manufacturer’s website. I’m sure I can but even if not, the bassinet can [...]
I’m not sure what is going on lately, but I’ve been reading and seeing a lot about raising teenagers. My kids are little ones and I know teenagers are a lot of work but wow I feel like I need to start figuring stuff out now! Already my kids will be six and four in [...]
There is a new web based business in town! Check out Driveway (which is at http://www.driveway.com) for Online File Sharing. I’ve ran into this problem before. I’ll have an attachment and when I go to send it to someone it gets stuck in my outbox (or gets stuck ’sending’) and just never leaves. Driveway offers [...]
PayPerPost never ceases to be controversial and the announcement of securing $7 million in funding has simply brought on another round. I haven’t read many reviews, but I hope people can stop questioning various bloggers blog ethics. Since when is earning money selling your soul? I for one am very happy for Ted Murphy and [...]

After dealing with the neighbor moving out for the past week or so I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to borrow money. I found the paperwork online for my neighbors mortgage and found that she had one interest only loan and one balloon payment loan. I also know that she struggled to pay [...]
I’m so excited! The part for the dishwasher arrived this afternoon and we replaced it tonight. It was the pump, under warranty, thus saving us $70. We replaced it ourselves saving $70 on a service call and probably at least another $100 on labor. We are going to put that much on top of our [...]
I saw this over at The Stylish Nest and wanted to play along. I am supposed to share five things about my house so I’ll share about both houses.
1. This house we live in now is the first new home ever purchased in either of our families. That is huge. My kids made the first [...]
We have one paid off credit card and another with a balance. Since the plumbing issues - at both houses - came up, we are trying really hard not to use either of the cards. I am still working on finding a handyman and figuring what is easier to fix - ie maybe a professional [...]
