When the checking account is low, it means that it’s time to find some cheap entertainment. When you are broke, it’s amazing the fun things you can do on very little money. Here are some of my favorite things to do.
Window Shop. Even though window shopping can be depressing, it can also be fun to [...]
I’m not a coffee drinker but sometimes I wish I were. Coffee drinkers get to enjoy their cup of coffee while reading the morning newspaper. It just isn’t the same experience with a Diet Coke, or at least it doesn’t look like it. I’ve never owned a coffee maker but find myself drawn to the [...]
Time management has never been my strong suit. I have tried several methods for keeping up with dates, appointments, and other information only to find that after a few weeks I begin to fall out of practice of my new routine. At work using a business performance management software keeps me on track. Why can’t [...]
For years I have wanted to try one of those food vacuum sealer kitchen gadgets. Not wanting to fork over all that money has been the main reason for my hesitance in buying one. If it doesn’t work, then I’m out at least $100 and then have another “seemed like a good idea at the [...]
Last year I bought a nice artificial tree that was pre-lit. It was so easy to set up and was really quite impressive looking. Fake Christmas trees have come a long way since I bought one. Needless to say, I was happy and content to use the tree for many years to come. Well, I [...]

Making a little extra money through blogging has been a huge help since I’ve scaled back on work. Up until recently I stayed at home all day but now have a part-time job. Without being able to make money online I probably would have to return to work full-time, which I don’t want to do [...]
If you are transitioning your little one from bottle to sippy with little success, try a Nuby sippy cup. The soft, silicone spout makes the transition easy from bottle to cup. Rae loves her Nuby and was really easy to get off the bottle. I was turned on to the Nuby sippies from a friend [...]
Christmas is fast approaching, and I’ve already begun my holiday shopping. I find this year that I’m looking for online shopping deals more than in previous years. I think I’m making pretty good progress with my Christmas shopping but still have a lot of people to buy for as well as items that we will [...]
Each year I make my Christmas list in the same notebook. It makes it easy to look up what I got people last year or even the year before that for Christmas. When you buy for a bunch of nieces and nephews you really don’t want to duplicate the same gift from last year.
Since I [...]
