Over the past few months, I have purged, recycled, consigned, and moved a ton of stuff from our family room. I’m about to declutter the dining room office. Early last year I tackled the playroom. The year before last, the master bedroom was on my hit list of rooms to declutter. Some days I...

I have nightmares that one day I will see myself in a news story about overweight people. Only the story isn’t about me or my weight gain or loss. No. I am just one of the people filmed from the waist down as I walk down a city street as part of the background...

Is there a speed faster than fast? I’m thinking about the Spinal Tap amp that goes to 11. Right now, my speedometer is at about 250. Fast. Speedy. Vroom. Whoosh. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of school, work for two parents, dental and doctor appointments (with 3 kids…someone is ALWAYS at...

I’m always on the lookout for something to do, somewhere to go, something to watch, something to read. Family time is a huge deal for me. I crave it. I know my kids and husband need the time at home to regroup. After a busy fall of two on the swim team and one...

Shopping is a necessity not a desire. For me I shop when I need things. My days of browsing the racks and window shopping are long gone. I have a more precise, laser-like method of shopping than in my teen/college/premarriage years. If I need it, I buy it. If I see it on a...

I never had a backpack until I started college. Before college, I carried a satchel or a briefcase to school. My school required all items to be brown, so of course the briefcase was brown leather or more precisely brown pleather. I never got a new backpack each school year. I recall having 3...

It’s funny to think that I joined a membership warehouse club when I was in my 20s…pre-marriage…and pre-kids. What did I buy? Why would I need a gallon drum of mayo? Did I even think about saving money back then? My then-boyfriend/now-husband and I joined Pace Membership Warehouse in 1989. Pace, you say? Why...

From time to time I post about deals. After Blogher, I became a tad obsessed with deal sites. Previously, I didn’t think deal sites were for me. I’m not a huge shopper. I was surprised to find how many of the daily deals were of interest to me. Over the past few weeks I...
