The little one’s birthday is fast approaching, so I’ve been looking for ideas for presents. She loves to read, so personalized children’s books have really piqued my interest.
I had a personalized book when I was a kid and loved when my mom read it to me. It was great to be the star of my [...]
We are working to be debt free sometime soon. We have been paying off our bills but still every once in a while one slips and then the commercial collection agencies begin to call. That’s always a disturbing reminder that something has fallen through the cracks.

So this weekend I started feeling light-headed and dizzy. Worried about my symptoms, I, of course, turned to the Internet for answers.
While my self-diagnosis isn’t something serious like mesothelioma, it is something that could be a range of issues. The most simple is that I’m dehydrated or need to clean my ears. The worse case [...]

My idea is to make the space a storage [...]

We are getting ready for a couple of cool PC video game releases within the next year. There is Diablo III and The Sims 3. Sadly, our current computer does not meet the minimum requirements to play either, which is sad since we upgraded right before Raegan was born. She turns three in October.
