Every once in a while a friend or relative comments on what a “fun” mom I am. Never my children – mind you – only people who don’t actually live with me say such crazy things! And to some extent, it’s kind of true. I like fun traditions with the kids. But there is one […]
Miracle Cleaners
I’ve ranted in the past about door-to-door salesmen that come around (those punky kids trying to play on our sympathies), but I’ve had a new type of salesmen come around quite often in the last few months, and I was blessed to get another one today.

Crashing
I don’t usually get political on this blog. It’s meant to be fun, if not for anyone else, at least for me. So for those thinking that this is going to be a rant about today’s stunning drop in the market, and government’s role in it all, well, prepare to be disappointed. I have to […]
