I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of mini-blinds, although you couldn’t tell that from looking at my house. Each window has a mini-blind adorning it. I would prefer to have roller shades on at least the bedroom windows but since it was easier to put up the mini-blinds, so we went [...]
With spring in the air, my mind turns to gardening and home improvement. One home improvement project is our bathroom. I would really like to spruce it up some.
I’ve been looking at bathroom vanities at the local home improvement store but will probably opt just to freshen up the one we have. I am buying [...]
Being sick this past week has put me way behind on many chores. The laundry needs to be done, dishes, and general cleaning are just a few of the tasks I need to get done soon.
I know it’s good to shop around for life insurance quotes or car insurance quotes. But finding the time [...]
Living in the country is great. No noisy neighbors, plenty of fresh air, and very peaceful. Unfortunately there is a price for all this: modern technology just doesn’t work as well out here.

Thank goodness our federal taxes are done. Now we just have to file state. I have never done any financial reporting to the IRS other than filing taxes, but I’m thinking this year about paying in quarterly. I really have no idea what form to use or anything else.

Last month I did none of this when we were sick and here we are, a [...]
Hope everyone has a nice Valentine’s Day! Being a married woman, I don’t get much these days for Valentines but that’s fine. Now that the little one is here, everything is about her anyway. I do need to pick her up something for the day. Hopefully I will be feeling less sick this afternoon and [...]
Since we have been doing a few home improvement projects, I’m always interested in hearing what other people are doing to their homes.

Today the high was suppose to be around 80 degrees. It was a beautiful weekend, so what do I want to do? That’s right. I’m ready to spring clean.
I keep thinking of all the deep cleaning I want to get done today. I’m ready to throw out all the clutter and have clear surfaces again. [...]
There are several ways to cut back and go green around the house. It feels good to be doing something to help preserve the environment.
Look for green products that can replace products in your home. Or how about buying reusable grocery bags? I noticed at our local grocery store that you can pick up these [...]
