I’m about to date myself, but I remember the hoopla that happened in the 80’s when a young Brooke Shields was hawking Calvin Klein jeans and said, “do you know what comes between me and my Calvins? nothing.” The Calvin Klein blue jeans craze quickly ensued, but the jeans were completely out of my parent’s […]

Yard sales. People either love them or hate them. I happen to LOVE yard sales. I love going to them and I love having yard sales.

I stopped by my two favorite thrift stores last week: Salvation Army & Community Aid, a local store. I only go on Wednesdays, because both stores offer an additional 50% off on almost everything. I cleaned out our closets a couple of weekends ago and I found that we are in need of some spring & summer clothes. My oldest daughter has […]

I have two daughters and one benefit of having same sex siblings is that my youngest is the beneficiary of a mighty fine wardrobe, season after season.

I’m not one for too many gadgets, but I found that I loved my salad spinner. We eat lots of salads and I liked how it spun the greens dry and I found my salads stayed fresh longer. So I was very disappointed a few weeks ago when my salad spinner fell to the floor […]

Today was the first day of our neighborhood’s 3 day yard sale and thankfully the weather was beautiful. I made $70 and most of that were items from this table… …a bunch of knick knacks that will be so much happier in someone else’s home. Seventy dollars isn’t a bad start, but I need to […]
