Our living room ceiling fan needs to be replaced. A couple of the blades are warped, so it doesn’t work as well as it should. It’s unbalanced and when it is on, it wobbles a lot. With summer here, we definitely need a new ceiling fan. We have never had to shop for ceiling fans [...]
Weeks like this make me feel like such a smart housewife. I took about 5-10 minutes and actually did some menu planning! To try to get into the habit of doing this, I’m going to try to do Menu Planning Monday each week. We had some leftover food from last week, so this week was [...]
One of the best ways to get better performance from your laptop is to upgrade your laptop memory. I recently upgraded mine to 1 GB from 512K. The difference has been very noticeable as it boots and accesses windows faster. It was relatively inexpensive and took less than five minutes to install.
I did need a [...]
Today while looking through the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart, I noticed a gadget for the computer that allows you to use your game controllers with your PC. A friend of ours had done a similar thing for a senior project in college. Senior projects are suppose to be innovations that would be useful to consumers. [...]
Right now, McDonald’s is running a special on their drinks. Buy any size for just $1. That is cheaper than buying a 20 ounce, so we’ve been picking up a large Diet Coke at McDonald’s while we’re in town instead of a 20 ounce drink. My husband loves this because he prefers a drink with [...]
Using coupons can be an awesome way to get a discount on items you already buy.

Most of these deals will be a buy one get one or a special price [...]
I think I have finally stumbled upon the best time to hit the grocery store - early Sunday morning. It is quite empty, so I can actually think about what I need to buy and not feel rushed. Today I’m getting ready to go but realize that we only need a few things. Hubby has [...]
In lieu of a vacation this year, we are opting to do short, day trips throughout the summer. It will be cheaper since most places are within 60 miles of here and some are even free to do. No need to pack the Delsey luggage either for just these short excursions. That’s another plus since [...]
There has been several new restaurants that have opened up in town with very interesting names. We have:
The Flamin’ Pineapple
The Magic Tomato
The Plaid Rhino
Now most everyone that I know who has tried these new places has said that the food was good and they enjoyed themselves. I have to admit that I’m tempted to go [...]
Raegan has a three ring pool that she seems to enjoy as long as there isn’t too much water in it. I even got in it this week and boy is that water cold. It did, however, make me think of upgrading the pool at least to a size that we could use inflatable boats [...]
