    "Starter Homes" ??

    We have had 4 homes in the 14 years since we bought our first home. Moving out of our "starter" home after only 18 month but that was because DH changed jobs. Moved out of our 2nd home in order to be in a better school district for our daughter. Moved out of our 3rd home to move 1/2 way across...

    Amazing Adventures of the 2011 Disney Mom's Panel

    This thread is HUGE!!! I have been checking often to see if anyone has heard anything. I would think it might need to be next week. Keeping fingers and toes crossed. DDs 13th bday is the 13th so maybe that could be a lucky day (cancels each other out). We are also leaving for a 3 day Disney trip...

    Too funny - "Why I can't make mom friends" video

    SOOOOOO funny and regretably very realistic. Love when the one mom says "Holy Sh--" in response to the others comments about vaccinations. Classic. Made only more funny by the computerized voices:rotfl2:

    North and South Carolina Residents

    We moved to the Charleston SC area 5+ years ago. Then housing was a little more inflated...now not so much (of course that is everywhere!). Though from what I understand housing is much more affordable here than in the northeast. Our real estate taxes are half of what we paid in IL but we...

    Crowds President's Day weekend vs Thanksgiving weekend

    For those of you who have family far away.....

    4 years ago we moved 900 miles from all of our family. Not an easy thing to do, but we did it. The goodbyes get easier each time. Hardest part is that our kids really LOVE being back home when we go because all of their cousins are there. One of the things that my sister and I do to kind of...

    Is there a thread for people selling their house?

    It will be 6 months on the market for us on Dec 1st. We had lots of showings, one offer that fell through the day after we accepted it, we were priced competitively and the house has a lot to offer. We had to get out of the contract for the other house we were building. With the change in the...

    Disney in June

    This year was the first time we chose to go in Early June. We typically go for a week in the fall as well. The weather was much warmer of course and the crowds were bigger, but not entirely unmanagable. With a little planning, use of fast passes and rest breaks, I am beginning to believe that...

    How Long Did You Wait to Vote?

    It took me a ridiculous 4 HOURS to wait in line to vote! It was chilly and spitting rain and I had both kids with me. Half the time I needed to go to the bathroom. BUT....I stayed and waited the whole time, because it is that important! I won't even wait for a ride at WDW longer than 30 mins...

    Really? Hank Williams Jr.????

    I guess his team thought it might be an effective means of targeting all the "Joe Six-Packs" out there?? Hank Williams Jr must be on very good terms w/all the Joes...Six-Pack and the Plumber.

    Help with my 11-year old DD!

    Are you sure we don't have the same DD?? If I never told her to take a shower, she would be one smelly girl, she would go to school w/o brushing her hair or teeth if not reminded to do so. I figure when she stops thinking boys are totally disgusting, that will change her personal hygeine. I am...
