Eliminating the Clutter & Pocketing Some Change

Fifteen years ago I had my second baby and noticed my house was beginning to quickly get overrun with toys, clothes and equipment my children were outgrowing. Up until that point I had been having a yearly garage sale to help clear some of the clutter, but the stuff that collected between sales was starting to get to me. I would have loved to just donate it and be done, but with only one income I depended on the resale money to purchase new … [Read more...]

Rita Hazan Root Concealer Review

Rita Hazan Root Concealer I have been coloring my hair for several years now. At first I started with at home colors, but would occasionally end up orange and have to pay to fix it. Now I pay a professional to do it right the first time. Really... it’s the way to go with hair that tends to pick up red very easily. But I digress. I would love to visit my cosmetologist more often than I do, but with my crazy life with four kids and my … [Read more...]

Joovy 4x4 Ride On With spring finally here to stay, the kids and I have been trying to spend more time outside. They love to ride their Joovy Bicycoo, but sometimes they feel the need for speed.

Spring Home Makeover | Liftmaster 8550G Elite Series Belt Drive Garage Door Opener Review

Spring Home Makeover with Liftmaster 8550G Garage Door Opener   We purchased our home about ten years ago. It was almost three years old at the time, so our existing garage door opener was at least thirteen years old. I was beginning to worry about it a little, as it seemed to be getting louder and louder. We had gotten to the point that we would leave the garage door open if we knew we’d have to leave during nap time because it … [Read more...]
