Apparently, not being a coffee drinker, I am missing out on a few things.
Meeting a friend at Starbucks and I was surprised to see all the ‘other’ things they sell.
Yes, I thought coffee shops only did coffee and rolls!
They have these neat little bistro boxes that are great for a quick lunch and they are [...]

So, I don’t have cable and I haven’t seen this new reality show, “Extreme Couponing” but I have heard and read a few things about it to know, it is in the same category as the Hoarder reality show and whatever other reality shows are out there.
First things first, these people on the show ARE [...]

Good Afternoon Everyone!
Wow, it feels good to be blogging today
So, now that school is in full swing, I am getting used to the schedules and we are finally in a routine, I have discovered something that bugs me every school year.  Why do most stores not open up until 10am? 
It seems ridiculous to [...]

 
Good Morning Everyone!
Well, we have made it to the last day of the new school week for one, and the other two start Tuesday.  Ugh, that is when them going back to school gets, blech for me as their school bus comes at 713am, which means the children need to be up no later [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
I only have a few moments before my people start waking up but, thought I would click off Farmville(on facebook) and do something productive and good for my brain. 
Ooh, I hear people, I need to hurry!  This is going to be short, sorry.
So, yesterday I was telling my husband I realized something [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Only 3 more days left of school for my people and I couldn't be more thrilled!  Frankly just because I am so sick of getting up so early and fighting my 6 year old to get out of bed at 630am.  It will be so nice to have my people sleeping in and to [...]

Good Afternoon! 
Today is one of those rare days where I feel compelled to write two blogs in one day.  Doesn't happen often as I think it is a bit silly but, I just got done ready an article that I just HAVE to write on!
The article is based on interviewing millionaires and seeing how [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Ok, I am crabby today, seriously sick of the wind and I need the sun!  Plus, my children are bugging me and I haven't seen my husband for more than 5 minutes without interruption since Saturday and it has been even longer since he and I have been alone.  I am crabby.  I [...]

Good Afternoon Everyone!
So my husband was out of town this weekend.  He had a boys weekend in Wisconsin and I was at home with the babes by myself.  It went well, fast (thank God!) and I was even able to get some housework done.
Most important thing though is the kitchen was clean and the dishes were [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
So this morning, I find myself very lazy.  I mean VERY lazy.  I have plenty of things I could be doing, some things I should be doing but, I only have two children and no husband today so, it is very tempting to just be lazy.
But, I need to get to the bank!  [...]
