Protecting Ourselves From Identity Theft
| March 21, 2011 | Posted by barb under Family, home |
There’s a lot of bad out there, but one of the things I fear most is “identity theft.” It’s scary to imagine; one minute you have everything…your social security number, your credit, your “life on paper” (so to speak), and the next thing you know—POOF—it’s ALL gone. Just like that and in an instant, everything… Keep Reading…
Pretty Neat Review and Giveaway
| March 7, 2011 | Posted by barb under Books, Giveaways, home, Reviews |
There was a time when my house was 100% clutter free. It was so perfect in every way; I swear it was the most organized, most unrealistically clean houses you’ve ever seen or walked through.

I was Unplugged Yesterday
| February 20, 2011 | Posted by barb under Family, home |
That’s right…I did a blog ‘detox’ (clearing my head) for a little over 24 hours. And I have to say…I am pretty impressed with how little I agonized over being away from my blog. It was pretty hard at first, but once I started cleaning—there was nothing to it. I only jumped on my computer… Keep Reading…

Impressive. Very, very impressive. I mean seriously—can you imagine a cleaning cloth that is durable enough to outlast 15 rolls of paper towels? I haven’t had my Skoy cloths that long; only a few days really, but already I can see how this is possible. These cloths are strong, so absorbent, built to clean,… Keep Reading…

Now, this is a great product, I enjoyed it…while I had it. If you have a rambunctious kid under the age of 10 (or two or three of them); this may not be the product for you. I had this inflatable back support for all of three weeks before it went kaput! Yes, my… Keep Reading…

Community Coffee- My Favorite

I start every morning with a freshly brewed pot of coffee. Usually this gets prepared the night before so that I can wake… Keep Reading…
