I think I have mentioned before that I particularly like to give consumable gifts. I don’t like to think about the gifts I give sitting in someone’s closet or collecting dust on a shelf. I prefer to give flowers, food, grocery coupons, spa certificates, or even subscriptions for one of the wine clubs I like.

I learned early on that if you are going to have a high definition television, you need to have the right cables. I got my first HDTV back in 2002 and it took all of a week to realize that unless I had the thing wired to output at the optimum, it was a waste […]

I love being a stay-at-home mom. In fact, that is why I have put off going back to work for at least another year. I love being there for my daughter when she gets home from school, bring able to volunteer, attend meetings, do errands without racing around at night, and spending extra time cooking […]

I do not have a lot of disposable income right now, so it is rare that I buy something fun or unneeded. Well, I did spend a good deal of many for our Disney trip last weekend, but that was for my daughter’s birthday and in lieu of a party.
Anyway, I went to Office Depot […]

I was thrilled to see that my local Kohl’s department store has all yellow clearance an extra 25% off! I got a coupon in the mail, so I put that together with the other great discounts and got a lot of my shopping done for my daughter’s birthday, which is in less than a week.
