I love a good yard sale. I love to go to them and to have them. Although going to them can sometimes play havoc on my de-cluttering mission. I am trying very hard to resist non-essential yard sale purchases; it just adds to our clutter. I have found a few fun bargains so far this […]

Do your taste buds a favor and go to a local strawberry patch…go immediately. If you’re in the northeast like we are, the season is probably winding down. Unfortunately strawberry season is short, but oh-so-sweet. I went two weeks ago and picked 12 quarts. This past weekend was pretty jammed packed, but I made sure […]

We have an envelope, in an undisclosed location, where we keep cash. It is not an emergency fund or our monthly adult cash allowance and there isn’t a lot of cash in the envelope. Yet it is a place where we can go to if we need a quick $10-$20 for a last minute pizza […]

Don’t you just love this time of year? There are usually several weeks or maybe months when it is too warm to use your heater and too cool to need AC. All of our windows are wide open letting in fresh air. The nights are a little breezy that we might still need a blanket. […]

Out of the blue last Thursday I got an incredible pain in my left ear. It started around 6pm and by 10pm I couldn’t stand it anymore so I downed a couple of Aleve so I could fall asleep. I woke up Friday morning and the pain had subsided but I couldn’t hear. My ear […]

Beware: Attack of the killer yews… We bought our house from an older couple who decided to downsize into a smaller home. They were the original homeowners of the house that was built in 1969. They took very good care of the house and just a few years before we bought it from them they […]

Homemade food tastes better to me and my family and a lot of the time the meals are healthier and less expensive than their store made, processed counterparts.

I have been looking for a coupon organizer that I like and that fits my coupon use for a long time. I was using a small plastic box for years, but it was hard to manage and it didn’t fit in my handbag. When it broke recently after it fell on the floor, I set […]

$300 is a lot of money for me to make at a yard sale. I usually only make about $80-$100. I don’t have yard sales to get rich; I am just trying to de-clutter our home. They are also social events for me. My neighbors participate and the neighborhood becomes very lively. It is usually […]
