If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed for our latest posts of weekend ideas and more.A couple of days ago, I was jumping with joy at how the traffic conditions have eased now that the price of gas is sky-high. I could easily find a parking spot and I [...]
I was surprised to read on CNN that Starbucks will be closing down 600 outlets worldwide in an effort to trim down. Firstly I think they went on an opening spree to increase the number of outlets and hopefully their market share as well, I guess. Now they realize that many of the outlets are [...]
Given the chance, I’d love to go back to school to get a graduate degree, yes, maybe an online university degree from an established institution such as Capella.
I’ve always liked school. If I had to choose, I’d choose school over employment. I don’t know why that sounds crazy to people. Seriously who likes to work? [...]
At a wedding we attended last weekend, someone at our table seems to believe that the sharks’ fin soup that’s served, usually as a second course, are still made with real sharks’ fin.
I think I read somewhere that harvesting sharks for their fins is now illegal. And rightly so too. It’s a most inhumane thing [...]
I’ve been rushing around last weekend as usual, picking up and dropping off my kids, doing my groceries…I didn’t think much of it although there’s this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that every time I step into my car, I’m burning gas and money!
It was hard not to notice though that compared [...]
The weekend is almost here. This means I need to go get my groceries done. I used to do my groceries on weekends because there seems to be better bargains and promotions and food sampling. Yes, gotta love stuffing yourself silly with mini-portions of whatever they hand out to you.
But Friday seems to be a [...]
It’s dark outside for a change. But it’s not raining nearly hard enough to beat the stifling heat and humidity we’ve been putting up with lately. I have lots of errands to run and I’d certainly appreciate cooler weather.
I’ve been getting headaches every day for the past couple of weeks. It’s the heat and the [...]
Okay, enough, it’s time to cut back. On going out. On eating out. Maybe I should change the title of this blog to Girls’ Day In., huh?
Drastic increase in cost of living calls for drastic measures. New house rules effective immediately:
No more snacks.
Skip breakfast.
Eat only during designated meal hours.
Use oil lamps where possible.
Shower and brush [...]
I sat down with the kids this afternoon to get them to think about some ways they can help to cut down spending. Not that they spend a lot, just that there are certain things that we do which we could cut back on.
To be honest, we’re not exactly jumping with joy at having to [...]
Are you still out shopping for a Mother’s Day gift or have you got everything planned already?
My girls got me these and I’m thrilled to bits. Remember, the gifts don’t have to be big or expensive. It’s the thought that counts.
I don’t have time to make a long, soppy post about the greatness of mothers. [...]
