| August 29, 2010 | Posted by barb under food, Reviews |
When it comes to eating sandwiches, I have to have my Mayo. My husband (the goof) prefers another brand and CJ doesn’t care one way or the other.

TGIF: Weekend Movie Plans
| August 27, 2010 | Posted by barb under Reviews |

On movie night, at our house, it tends to get a little chaotic. Hub and CJ live for action packed thrillers; I love romantic comedies. The girls, as all would assume, just want kid films (nothing more, nothing less). Quite honestly, because this happens all the time, I don’t think we’ve ever had a true… Keep Reading…

Wearing Glasses
| August 24, 2010 | Posted by barb under beauty |
In my family; I’m the only one who needs to wear eyeglasses. I’ve had vision problems ever since I was seven.

Apparently my laundry soap addiction causes a lot of friction between the hub and I. He says I use far too much soap and I say he’s crazy. The arguing back and forth, about this, has gotten a little ridiculous over the years. So…the good wife that I am decided to put an end to… Keep Reading…

Paper Mate has always been a brand of choice in my home. I am an extreme lefty and find that when I use Paper Mate products, I’m not left with smeared paper and a tinted left hand. Trust me…there’s nothing worse than having to re-write a paper, or refill a form because it’s destroyed by… Keep Reading…
