So we’re still chopping down trees and every now and then a fence panel is replaced. Until all the trees are chopped we can’t take down the whole fence, however. Our backyard is looking pretty bad with old doors, fence panels and more. We were going to call in a dumpster but we […]
I’ve been writing a lot about proms lately for a few of my b5 blogs. In my neck of the woods, the last weekend of May is prom, and right now teens all over are booking hair and makeup appointments and looking for the perfect dress. Through my two year stint as a wedding […]
What are your plans for the weekend? My family has been staying close to home lately since we’re doing all the work outside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time. If you’re stuck for ideas, here are a few things you can do this weekend without having to reach into […]
Did you gut your master bath the week after you moved into your house six years ago and haven’t gone back since?
Did you peel all the wallpaper in the hall and add primer in hopes of painting before winter set in four years ago? Have you taken to decorating your walls with kids art […]
Three years ago my sister in law and I were shopping at Target when I spied a pair of rain boots on clearance - for fifty cents! They were about 3 sizes too big for my son, but I didn’t care. Fifty cents is fifty cents. My sister in law thought the pattern might […]
So my mom’s birthday is coming up. I love my mom, but I don’t always know what to buy her as gifts. She’s not a difficult person, but at her age she pretty much has everything she needs. She doesn’t approve of gift cards or money as they’re not personal enough, so that’s out […]
The other day I bought myself a new pair of pants. This may not seem announcement-worthy, but it’s so rare I buy myself anything new it’s headline inducing. I wonder why I’m always the last one in the family to spend money on myself -and why do I always feel guilty when I buy something […]
So my son just brought home the school fundraiser catalog. Here’s the thing, I couldn’t stand it when I worked in an office and everyone would it me up to buy from their kids’ fundraisers, so my husband and I don’t bug our friends and neighbors. Sometimes we’ll ask family members, but they have […]
I need new glasses. It doesn’t seem possible as I got my last pair only about a year and a half ago, but it’s true. I find myself making the text very big on my computer screen and holding books at knee length in order to read. Though we have a great eye plan, it […]
I’m amazed by how many supermarkets there are within a five mile radius in my town. Two strip malls featuring major supermarket chains are even right next door to each other. While it’s nice to be able to see where the sales are, I’m not always impressed by the vegetables. Ideally I like to buy […]
