I hate buying furniture. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a hard time making up my mind, spending the money, to just end up hating it after a few months. Putting money out for furniture in our house is practically begging for disappointment. That being said, we’ve never had a piece of “donated” furniture that […]
This article was just sent over to me. It’s about the food co-op that we take part in, Bountiful Baskets! Reading the article almost brought a tear to my eye. It’s just plain awesome to take part in something (and volunteer when we can) that has been entirely run by word of mouth. The article […]
Forgive my lack of posting this week. I will be back to my regularly scheduled posting…soon I hope!
When I was a little girl, my friends and I would do a countdown to the next big event by saying how many sleeps it was. I would get giddy with excitement when I could say “Only two more sleeps!” “ONE more sleep!” Because sleeps are a much better record keeper of time than days […]
Screw DisneyWorld, IKEA is my playground! Ever since I was a little girl I loved IKEA. I loved all their bright colours, and neat storage containers my parents bought for me (I still have them!). It was always an adventure to go to IKEA on a weekend retreat. The big blue store with it’s bright […]

My husband and I are always trying to one up each other. If his pain is 6 on a scale of 10, I like to remind him that waking up during your colonoscopy is a 22 on a scale of 10. If I love him as big as the Universe, he loves me as big […]
No, there isn’t anything in my uterus right now, but there is a lot in our savings account! We’ve had our baby fund completed for awhile now, but were waiting to make sure it stayed that way before it was considered completed. So we’re officially able to say that we have $10K put aside for […]
There are about a million reasons why I love the agency I work for. Last week I felt all that love come right back to me. Every month we have an agency newsletter that gets written up and emailed out to the entire staff. One of our special committees works on recognizing a special employee […]
Sometimes I don’t realize that I’ve actually completed a goal. This time was one of those – In the last two months I’ve visited not one, not two, but THREE farmers markets. I had it in me that I needed to get out there to see what local Farmer’s had to offer. I had […]
