    Fill in the blank: I love my kitchen garbage pail because . . .

    I do actually love my garbage can (which DH finds so odd). It is the automatic sensor one. I love not having to touch the lids, just wave my hand and it opens.

    My DD asked me to take her the last week of 4K, so she was 5. She has 3 older brothers and I had always looked forward to the day and making a big deal out of it. I explained everything to her and she did great. She is now 9 and still takes great care of them. We took lots of pics and had a...

    Check out "Birthdays without Pressure "website!!

This year I decided to set a new example on my birthday - not really to change their minds, but just to show a different aspect. I told my kids I only wanted them to take the money they could afford for a gift (no...

    Is there a Budget app?

    We use one called home budget and love it. When our iphones are in the same room (not sure what distance is required), they sync all our info. It divided our budget into catagories. It has been so helpful - I love it.

    yard sale gurus question

    My son and his friend did a yard sale this weekend and made over $1300. They thought the best was having one of them stand on a main road with a bright sign waving people to the yard sale a few blocks away. They did not know how to price anything, but seemed to do very well. They slao...

    What age do boys still use swingsets?

    We have 8 yr old b/g twins and they still play on our outdoor set everyday. We bought it from Sams when they were around 5 or 6 and it has definately been a great investment. I even catch the teens on the swings sometimes when their friends are over.
