Thanks to a power outage, my family and I found ourselves locked out of our house the other night, on the coldest night of the year. You see, we usually enter through the garage. Since the power was out, the doors wouldn’t raise and we were locked out. Normally I’d have my keys, but since […]
I met my toaster oven before I met my husband. My sister used it in college in the early 80’s and gave it to me when she came home. I’ve never had a problem with it. Mind you, it’s not as high tech as today’s models but it toasted and reheated, and really what […]
I was reading recently how people are now becoming more cautious with their money and more are clipping coupons and looking for other ways to save. I used to be a major coupon clipper but I no longer buy the Sunday paper and don’t have access anymore. Sometimes if I spy a coupon book […]
I cleaned my office today. There was a lot to go through considering I’ve only been working in this room for several months. Originally I worked at the kitchen table and folded up my laptop to prepare for meals. After two years of that, I moved to a corner of the dining room and […]
I’m trying to organize my house a bit as it’s getting a little untidy. My son’s stuff is the biggest offender. What to do with all his old stuff? I’ve been freecycling a lot of the old clothes and toys, but there are some items that are rather used and worn and I don’t […]
If there’s one thing I learned in the past couple of days it’s to plan ahead. You see, on Sunday my husband and I came down with a stomach virus. We thought my son had it too, but that turned out to be a bit of gas, thank goodness. On Monday, both my husband […]
One of my biggest challenges lately is using up leftovers. With only three of us, you can imagine there’s something left over from dinner. Normally, I cook a meal to last two nights. Many times there’s something leftover but not enough to make a meal. I don’t want to throw it away, but I […]
You know what I love about the Internet? You can find courses, tutorials and lessons for almost anything - and many of them are free. Are you interested in learning to crochet or designing your own website but don’t know when you’ll have the time?
Have you thought about taking up an instrument or learning to […]
This weather has been so whacky! It’s mid October and usually on the Northeast Coast it means sending kids to school in light jackets. My son is still going to school in shorts. It’s so warm my grape hyacinth are coming up and I’m still harvesting tomatoes and peppers. I have lots of tomatoes! Mostly […]
If there’s anything I despise, it’s the words, “I’m bored.” We have a house filled with toys, crafts and other things to do, a driveway perfect for riding one’s bike or drawing with chalk, and an acre out back complete with swingset and sandbox.
How can a five-year-old possibly be bored? Yesterday afternoon it was […]
