I love consignment shops. I don’t use them as often now that my daughter is five, though. Kids her age are hard on their clothes and shoes – as opposed to infants and toddlers who grow into the next clothing size without putting a proverbial dent in their old clothes. The consignment shops I used […]

I love food. I love cooking. I love creating flavor. More and more, though, I am turning to incorporating the best possible foods possible into my dishes. My daughter is a GREAT eater and I rarely have to worry about her being so picky that I end up serving a lot of crap like chicken […]

Many of you may know that Publix Supermarkets bought a good number of the Albertson’s stores in the south. The Albertson’s that are closing are in the process of liquidation right now. Of course, they put the prices on everything up as far as they could before they began.
Nonetheless, I picked up some cards and […]

So, I took that debt IQ quiz and one of the areas I really bombed was in knowing if I had the best deal possible in auto insurance. I started looking for a new insurance company about a year ago, but I got so thoroughly confused that I stopped, gave up, and just decided to […]

OK, I know that not all debt is automatically a bad thing. Buying a house can be a truly positive kind of debt. Student loans lead to an education and are perfectly understandable. I’m in no position to buy a car outright, so that is debt I can also accept.
However, in a lot of other […]

If something is going to go wrong, it is going to happen at the most inconvenient moment – and it is going to happen to ME!
Today was my daughter’s second day of kindergarten. I left 15 minutes earlier tan I did yesterday to see if that would get me in the pickup line […]

My sister and I had our childhood piano moved down from West Virginia last summer. It is in her living room right now, since I am in transition and most of my things are in storage. It’s in pretty good shape, if you consider how old it is and how many moves it has been […]

I see Democrats as bitter complainers, by nature. It’s never good enough. They are never happy. Compromise is a dirty word in their book.
Well, finally we see a move in the Democratic Party to try and seek some sort of compromise. It looks like both Clinton and Obama will have their names on the ticket […]

I was looking online today for some pretty lighting scones and was having a very hard time finding something I thought satisfied my particular wants. I am going to put them in the bedroom and they need to not look like something you would put in a cheap, 80s, Florida-style ranch home. I wanted something […]
