What Is A Home Stager??

A friend of mine lost her job a few months ago. I assume she received a package of some sort because, instead of finding a job right away, she decided to take some courses instead. Great idea in my opinion. Funny how sometimes when we feel like life is going all wrong, […]

The Kids Are Hiking :)

Hubby just sent an email letting me know all is well at the cottage :).  The kids are having a blast and right now they are on a hike with Hubby’s sister - while Hubby is “chillin’” as he put it LOL.  I guess I don’t have to feel too bad that he is working […]

Mommy’s Playing Beach Volleyball

Well, I set out to have a relaxing weekend doing nothing but working online and watching movies BUT, a friend has invited me out to play beach volleyball tonight so… what the heck!? I’ll give it a go - or at least I’ll go there and have a drink and some nachos
It […]

My Office

It’s been a long time coming but I’ve finally gotten over a hurdle and I can now call the kids’ former toy-room my “office”.  It feels pretty good too :)  I think a huge step in making the name change has been my ability to finally earn a decent wage from home.  Whatever the reason […]

If I Could Eat Anything…

I do love food, it’s true :)  Every now and then I play a little game of “if I could eat anything”.  It’s usually when I’m hungry and usually when it’s too late to go out to eat so that I really can’t get whatever I want
So, I just burst out and ask […]

Monthly Expenses

I’ve been thinking about money a lot lately. Just because both kids are now in school full time and I’m pondering getting a job outside the house. Naturally that leads to me wondering how much of a wage I want to earn and to figure that out I need to know what my […]

The Kids Are Off With Daddy

I’ve had a weird morning.  I was so happy - still am - about my weekend alone when I woke up this morning.  Then I realized I still had to finish packing the kids’ clothes ;)  I got around and did all of that no problem and then it hit me.  That, “oh, but I’ll […]

The Anniversary Gift

Hubby and I celebrated out 11th wedding anniversary on the 7th of this month. We don’t normally get each other gifts other than a card and maybe a dinner out. I really don’t need more than that, for the record, I’m no material girl
This year though he surprised me with a […]

Family Theme Days?

I’ve wondered about this for a while now.  Some families have Taco Tuesday or Pizza Day Friday and I’m thinking it sounds like a fun idea :)  I was just reading online that Jennifer Garner has homemade bread Saturday and I really like that idea too
It gets me wondering whether I’m the only […]

Online Video Game Exchange

I had heard of online book exchanges - last week actually - but I had never heard of an online video game exchange until today. It’s a pretty interesting idea for anyone who, either likes playing video games, or has kids who do Games can get pretty expensive, so any way […]
