Diabetes and Pregnancy

There are many factors that come into consideration when a woman falls pregnant. Blood pressure is often monitored, along with weight and any aches or pains that the woman might feel. There are more serious illnesses that can be side-effects of pregnancy, threatening both mother and child. Yearly, about four percent (approximately 140,000) of American […]

Methane Gas Detector Anyone?

Psst… does anyone else’s hubby get gassy around the holidays? Is it just mine?
I guess it’s because he doesn’t eat the most healthfully - to say the least - so all the food adds up and upsets his system. Not that it’s a huge deal really. It just […]

Two Pounds A Week Won’t Cut It!

I’ve been wanting to lose weight for a while now and now that I’m sitting her with my full tummy - that’s been full for several days in a row - I KNOW I’ve got several more pounds to lose after the Christmas feasting - sigh
I’m considering the cabbage soup diet again - […]

Would Your Hubby Notice Lingere?

One of my girlfriends once said that her husband would never notice if she put on lingere - he just sees her as she looked when they met. Makes me wonder how common that is.
I guess it can be a good thing when a woman has gained weight after having kids etc. BUT don’t […]

Keep Buying Until It Works ;)

Does it frustrate anyone else when you buy something and then the next thing you know they’ve come out with something that’s even better and even greater that you need so you MUST have it too?

A True Shopper Can Enjoy All Stores

I do enjoy shopping when I’m in the mood. This really came as a realization when I was at our local hardware store and I realized that I was actually, truly enjoying shopping for plumbing fixtures .
Yes, it’s true. Granted they are pretty nice and come in several finishes and […]

Old Computers As Landfill

I have to wonder how many people choose to fix their old computers and how many people just throw them away. Once a computer gets slow, do most people opt for a computer memory upgrade or do they just buy a new system?
It’s a scary thought with all the computers in so many homes […]

Finding A Rental Property Is Tough

A girlfriend of mine is looking to rent a house. Nothing fancy. She just wants to rent for a year or so before commiting to buying a home. The thing is though, homes to buy are easy to find and search for online; homes to rent are not so easy to find. […]

Basic Toys Or Fancy Toys

In the world of toys, there is a battle raging: technology versus back to basics toys. On one side, we have the people who say it is best to start a child learning how to use today’s technology as soon as possible. On the other hand, we have the people who say classic baby toys […]

I Feel a Need To Clean Out The Closets

I’d call it nesting if I was pregnant. But, I’m not pregnant so I’m just calling it organizing . The cluttered look of all of it is driving me batty so I need to get to work.
The linen closet is the worst culprit. I have some out-dated […]
