My husband and I have been ringing in the New Year with the same two couples since 1990 or 1991. At first we used to spend a few days at our friend’s hunting cabin in upstate New York. Many of our friends spent a couple of hundred dollars for a nightclub or hotel party, […]
I know not many of us are thinking about fixing ceiling fans this time of year but really this is the perfect time to make repairs, if needed. Ceiling fans can be reversed to force the hot air down to our level. This help to save on our heating bill. Conversely, the last you want […]
I’m blogging from my Mom’s. This is the weekend when my sisters and brothers and I converge upon Mom’s house for a few days to celebrate Christmas. It’s a lively gathering and the house is filled with kids of all ages. We celebrate with good food and libation and laughter-filled conversation and games.
My mother used […]
Every year my family likes to converge upon my Mom’s house for a second Christmas. You see, we all fulfill our inlaw obligations on Christmas day, the weekend after Christmas is for my mom. She likes this better because she gets us for a few days instead of the one holiday. We like it […]
I’m not big on personal resolutions. I make them but after a couple of months I forget what it is I actually resolved to do. Though Mr. Ng and I have a nice rosy outlook for 2008, we have plans to fix up the house so we can sell it in another couple of […]

Has this ever happened to you? It’s the week before Christmas and all the cookies are made. All the presents are wrapped. You think you’re all done and then you realize you left someone off the list.
Not only do I now have to brave the last minute shopping frenzy, but I know I’m […]
I hope you’re enjoying your holidays. No matter what holiday you celebrate, it’s all about spending time with family and friends. With a five year old in the house, you can imagine Christmas is especially magical through his eyes.
One of my son’s favorite things about Christmas is decorating the tree. We did go fake […]
Let me give you another peek into the gift bags my son and I are making up for our family members. So far we have some homemade Christmas ornaments, a loaf of zucchini bread, some marigold seeds harvested from my garden, and yesterday we added Mocha Nut Balls.
I first made Mocha Nut Balls […]
A few weeks ago I told you about a new site I stumbled upon called Costs Zero. Costs Zero sells items only for shipping, though they claim you get them at no charge. Since the shipping charges are less money than paying full price on these items, it seemed like there were bargains to […]
