The moving saga

If you didn’t catch it in my last post, my feelings about moving is that it sucks.  Big time.  We had everything planned perfectly with this move.  Close on our old house on a Friday, then have until Saturday night to move out, giving us plenty of time to move into our new house that we [...]

I’m back

OK, I’m back to posting again and things will be returning to normal.  Thanks for bearing with me.  I probably could have started posting a little sooner, but I just didn’t have it in me.  I’ll update you all later today to fill you in on what’s been going on:)

Moving sucks!

Sorry I haven’t been around lately, we are moving and it really, really, really sucks.  I am hoping that we move out of our house and into our new one this weekend.  Praying actually.  We are definitely (finally) closing on our house, it’s just a matter of if we can get into the house we [...]

Great Customer Service – Finally!

So many people are cranky and mean these days, it’s unreal.  Today I had to call customer service for some questions about our insurance.  It’s a relatively new plan and I wanted to know a few things.  I was annoyed about an answer she gave me, but by no means took it out on the [...]

Save some money

With the economy in such bad shape, now more then ever you need to be on your toes with how you spend your money.  Once a year I usually go through all my bills and see where I can save money.  But as they say, the times they are a changing.  If you wait a [...]

Anyone Moving?

We are trying to move and it’s the most awful experience ever.  Really.  I had no idea it could be so awful.  My husband and I are not movers.  When we first got married we spent about a year in a downstairs  apartment in a house my parents owned.  Then we bought our first house [...]

2 week shopping – results

I am happy to report that we made it through the 2 week shopping experiment quite easily (read about it here then here).  I definitely misjudged the milk, we went through 4 gallons not 2, but other then that we had lots of food left to work with.  We have a lot going one the [...]

Two week shopping update

So last Sunday I posted about how I went grocery shopping in the hopes that it would last 2 weeks.  Well I’m happy to report that so far so good.  I did forget to buy cheese and we ran out of milk, so I sent my hubby to the store with specific orders to buy [...]

Two week shopping

I have never shopped for more then one week at a time.  Heck, sometimes not more then a few days at a time.  Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of things that I buy in bulk to last me weeks or even months.  But I’m talking about buying enough of everything to not [...]

Shopping in my crazy life

Life around my house has been absolutely crazy lately.  Besides work and the usual hustle and bustle, we had all the end of the school year crap events for all three of our kids.  Plus, our oldest moved up to middle school, so there were parties up the wazoo. As if all this isn’t challenging [...]

Nickelodeon Hotel

This weekend we took our Girl Scout/Brownie troop to the Nickelodeon Hotel for their end of year trip.  This is the last year many of the girls will be participating in Girl Scouts, so we wanted them to have a memorable experience.  It was memorable alright, so I thought I’d tell you about it. There [...]

Ultimate Blog Party

One of my wonderful readers (thanks Grace!) is always looking out for me.  She wants my blog to get lots of exposure and be super successful (me too!).  A few days ago she suggested that I join a blog party over at 5 minutes for mom, something I have never done before.  It’s a way [...]

You Can’t Take it with you ~ Guest Post and Giveaway

One of the wonderful things about the Internet and social networks like Facebook, is the ability to reconnect with people who remind you of special times in your past.  Growing up I was fortunate to attend a Waldorf  School for much of my schooling.  I know many people are not familiar with that type of [...]

I got a Virus

A computer Virus that is.  It took me all day, but I finally got it out.  It took over my whole computer, including windows, and pretended to find spy-ware and different viruses on my computer and tried to get me to click scan now.  But I didn’t fall for it!  I just kept saying no [...]

A little shopping rant

I’m warning you that this post is a bit of a rant for me to get some things off my chest, so stop reading now if you’re not in the mood to hear it.  A lot of things have been going on in my life and it has been very tough trying to manage my [...]
