Have you ever noticed that it’s always so simple to see the solution to someone else’s problems looking into their lives, but it’s nearly impossible to see the solution to your own? Have you ever considered that perhaps you might take the advice you might issue to others and apply it to your own life […] More
We are not going to get into the whole stay-at-home mom versus working mom versus work-from-home mom (I’m the work-from-home mom) debate today. However, we are going to talk about parents who are home with their kids and really do enjoy being here with them. It seems to me that people have a large misconception […] More
We love the idea of booking a flight with rewards points and mileage, and we love it even more when we can do it at a reduced rate. All that sounds like to us is more free flights and more upgrades in the future. Really, what’s not to love about that? We have taken it […] More
Here’s something we don’t talk about, ever; layaway. To be quite honest, other than the fact that you hear about it a lot during the holidays when generous people walk into stores and pay off layaways for people at random you don’t really hear it. Layaway is something that a lot of people use – […] More
Being responsible is the single most important thing that my parents taught me; or so I thought. They taught me many important life lessons growing up, but being responsible seems to encompass many of them all rolled into one big life lesson. I, too, hope to teach my kids that being responsible is a trait […] More
Travelers, we have a bit of good news for you. For anyone looking to take advantage of low travel prices, time off work and a few days away from the kids before you’re stuck at home with them for three months they are out of school for the summer, you might want to know that […] More
Do you have bad shopping habits? I know that I do. I’m not perfect by any means, and shopping is certainly my addiction (and my cardio, and my passion, and my favorite way to while away the time). At the tender age of 32, I have had to learn the hard way more than once […] More
Everyone in the known universe has made a purchase they regret. That doesn’t necessarily mean they made the purchase on impulse. Impulse buying is a very specific action. It’s the result of seeing something shiny, sparkly, or attention grabbing, and then once you see that product you just buy it immediately with zero thought whatsoever. […] More
Do you ever wonder how some women look so effortlessly chic all the time? How do they manage to make everything they wear look so good? Obviously, it’s because they buy all their clothes at high-end department stores and have plenty of money to spend on beautiful clothing, which is what makes it so easy […] More
For many, finding a new job is a necessity. For others, it’s something they’d like to do but are not in a big rush since they already have gainful employment and a good job. However, submitting a shoddy resume to a new company is a bad move for any hopeful employee; and sometimes the mistakes […] More
If you’re a warehouse club member with a Costco membership, you know that you have to do some serious navigating when it comes to using your payment methods in a Costco warehouse. The store has long since been an acceptance location for American Express cards, but not for other cards. It’s been a problem for […] More
My husband and I sometimes sit back and wonder how we ever afforded to travel before we were done with school and had real, grown-up jobs (this after a two night, 36-hour trip to Chicago that cost us $2,500). We know we are a bit more extravagant now that we might have been in the […] More
