I want a tent-trailer

I can’t help but wonder what the big deal is with Orlando vacations. I know Disney World is supposed to be really cool but aren’t they also really expensive? Am I the only parent out there who just wants to have some inexpensive laughs and make some fun memories that don’t involve fictional […]

The movie theater birthday party

We took a long time to decide what to do for our son’s birthday. He wanted a party but, being 9, we had to think of something that’s not too baby-ish. After much hmmming and hawwwwing I remembered someone having a “movie party”.
So we decided to take him and his friends […]

The name game

My daughter wants a dog and wants to name it something unique. I said like something like flower or buttons but she said she means a made up name. Her ideas though, it turns out, are all names or words she has heard on commercials. So she rhymed off a few like […]

Do you spend a lot on decorating your house?

I really don’t like to. My opinion is that I can better spend my money on investments or things that kids need. Name brands like Hinkley lighting are fun to look at, but unless I inherit a lot of money (highly unlikely unless I have a rich Aunt I don’t know about […]

Yay Weight Watchers :)

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all the ads for diet pills? I have to admit that I’ve gotten tempted a few times and have tried some. But, they never have worked. I’ve gained weight on one and on another I was so wired I couldn’t think. So, thought the latest […]

What to give for a Baptism or Christening??

I get stumped on this all the time. I never know what the appropriate gift is and now we have two to go to in the next month. I know that the God parents often give religious jewelry so I can’t do that but otherwise?? I’ve seen bibles too but little babies […]

Cheaper is not always better

I think that there are some things that I’d rather not get on sale or cheap. Like something I know I need to count on like life insurance. I don’t really get the advertisements for cheap term life insurance. I’d rather just pay full price from a company I know that’s been […]

Curtains or Blinds?

I’m debating whether I’d like curtains or blinds in my office. Right now I have nice white horizontal, wood-looking blinds that I’m very fond of. The window’s been like that for years and it’s not like there is anything wrong with it exactly. It’s just that I’m thinking about putting some curtains […]

Do you look for natural treatments?

I like to find natural ways to deal with our family aches and pains when i can. Like natural acne treatments like toothpaste . Yes, I’m serious. Why it works I will never know, but gosh it does work
I also like a hot lemon drink for sinus congestion. […]

Maybe I’ll go on a trip with my girlfriends!

I’d really like to get away. I know, I know, I’ve said it a thousand times but it’s sooooo true!
It’s been eons since Hubby and I went away together (like 15 years!!) - though he’s been away with his buddies several times.
So, I’m thinking it might be time to take one of those “last […]
