Oops! I completely missed the May 30 meeting. I’ll blame it on Ruby, since that was the day that we picked her up from the Brittany rescue–my mind was a bit preoccupied. One more picture of Ruby…and then we’ll move on to groceries. I can’t help myself…she is so stinkin’ cute…even if she is on […]

She rarely barks, rolls straight to her back for belly rubs every time you approach her, and she immediately knew her bathroom was our back yard, not our living room floor. She’s a keeper for sure! Our only problem, however, […]

I love iced tea in the summer time. I rarely drink it during the other three seasons, but from June – August, I can’t seem to drink enough freshly made iced tea. My husband and I got hooked on store bought iced tea years ago, but it was loaded with sugar and at the rate […]

I added a few steps (our total is 12) to cash flow some upcoming business expenses and to celebrate the huge milestones along the way. Our plan is going […]

This was a big week at my house. I gave in, surrendered, (and got suckered) by my family and agreed that it was time to get a dog. I’ve been dragging my heels for years. It’s not that I don’t like dogs. I love dogs. But when our Toby passed away suddenly back in 2009, […]

Over the Memorial Day weekend, we headed to the Big Apple to see a Broadway show with my daughters’ Girl Scout troop and their families. We’ve taken the girls to New York City before for a day trip to Central Park’s Zoo, but this was a weekend trip and my girls were beyond excited to […]
