I was about 16 weeks pregnant when I went to Disney in August. The biggest thing is to stay out of the sun which I think is very possible in Disney. Even if you are doing counter service meals make sure to pick ones where you can sit down. Pick long air conditioned shows for the heat of the day...

As the mother of a 16 year old with a permit, I have had this discussion among my friends. I personally believe that a sensible Toyota or Honda car is the way to go as they normally last forever, are easy to drive and good on gas mileage. My friend insists that she wants an SUV for her son...

My dh and I have had this conversation many times. The ethics of being frugal are really interesting to me as being frugal can certainly go both ways in ethical responsibility. In fact, frequently, I think being frugal is much more ethical than being wasteful. For example, many money saving tips...

This explains it better than I can. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2970/does-turning-down-the-thermostat-at-night-save-energy

I have a 1500 square foot house with gas and my bills are higher this year because it has been an average of 10 degrees colder. They have been about $150 and I have horrible insulation. Btw, if you are going to be out of your house (nobody home) for more than 7 hours, you are better off turning...

I cannot comment about the food but I don't think it is a good idea to just pick a restaurant for the reserved seating. In June my MIL and her gang ate at a different restaurant and got reserved seating. It rained so the first show got cancelled and then they waited for the second show the same...

Some meals are easier to split than others. We split a couple of meals and some that are splitable are Flame Tree BBQ, the CS Mexican Restaurant at Epcot, Pizza Planet, Cosmic Rays. However, I thought that some of the TS kid's meals were really tiny. I think that you would be better off and save...

You really don't need as much as you think. We normally carry one bag for the family because we need water and my camera. What you could do especially in January for water bring in a disposable water bottle and when you are finished refill it or toss it (ugh I know the environment but just for...

I have taught special education for 10 years. I can count on one hand the number of gifts that have been given to me by students. I got an ornament one year and I got a gift card to Barnes and Nobles another year. That is it and I am mostly okay with that. I would like a thanks once in a while...

Yes turkey can be used instead. It doesn't make much of a taste difference except that I notice it is slightly greasier.

I have owned a cricut for a few years now. I use it in almost every scrapbooking page that I do. I have about 20 cartridges. I have probably spent about $800 on it in the last few years give or take (some of that has been gifts). I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love some of the cute...

Another option if you need something super absorbent would be shop towels. They sell them in the automotive department of places like Target.

Holy crap! I feel super cheap now :scared1: I remember for my own wedding the highest amount that I received from anyone was $250 and that was my very well to do aunt. For the most part, I received amounts ranging from $25-$50. I thought that $25 for a couple was cheap. Now I know that I have...

I didn't have any trouble getting one. I would keep looking at trying.

Gas looks like high-we made the trip from PA and did a round trip plus the week and we spent $250 on gas. We took my older Avalon. I would skip BBB-$400 is a lot of money for a couple hours of entertainment if that. Your going out to eat budget will only last you about three sit down meals. Food...

I have been to a few craft shows and normally what I see go are really specific items such as school blankets, team blankets things like that, really cute items and things that are needed as well. If you can combine those things that is great. Somebody made hats that were animals and were...

People are going to be that way over everything. I got the disapproval bit from somebody today at church because I suggested my sister's kennel for boarding their dogs while they will be away. She said, "You kennel your dogs!" That one I totally shook off. And yes, stuff happens like that all...

I hear Christmas in Tennessee is pretty tender. :thumbsup2 Seriously people have talked about it though.

It is difficult to stock up on products that go bad but you can freeze a lot of items. I got an entire basket of zucchini that was about to go bad for $1.50. Some of it did go bad by the time I used it but I was able to make a couple of loafs of zucchini bread and we had zucchini chips as well...

Tons of ideas on pinterest for Halloween. For games, you could do a needle in a haystack, bobbing for apples, make a scarecrow. You could have the kids paint a pumpkin.
