You gotta use soap, anyway, right?

May 6, 2013

I wouldn’t say I get overwhelmed with requests for reviews but I do get a pretty fair amount. And generally, for me to accept the review, it has to fall into one of the following categories: 1. Really expensive I don’t accept payment for reviews so if the value of the product is really pretty [...]

What Really Bugs Me

October 26, 2012

So this week has been pretty politically charged for me. I put up three posts all related to politics (this from a girl who swore she’d keep religion and politics off of her blog). And with a title like “What Really Bugs Me,” you might think I’m headed for a political rant to round out [...]

You Are Cordially Invited to a Wendy’s Twitter Party

June 19, 2012

It’s a Twitter Party! On a Wednesday! Who doesn’t need a little adventure and excitement on a Wednesday afternoon? Okay, so maybe your idea of adventure and excitement is taking a drive in a red convertible with the top down and your hair blowing in the breeze. But if that’s not a possibility, maybe the Twitter [...]

The Best of Raleigh

June 7, 2012

If you don’t live in or around Raleigh, this post might not have any meaning for you. But I feel like I can’t leave the town I called home for 17 years without paying homage to what consider some of the best of the best. If you are ever passing through the area (or you [...]

How Nintendo Saved My Sanity

June 4, 2012

Long before I became Nintendo Brand Ambassador, I was a big fan of Nintendo. I can’t remember what exactly my experience was with Nintendo before the Wii. I think my little brother had an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) although most of my memories seem to involve my mother glued to The Legend of Zelda. She [...]

What a Woman Needs to Know When Buying a Car

May 25, 2012

I can sum this up in one sentence. What a woman needs to know when buying a car is exactly the same as what a man needs to know. But there’s no getting around it. Women are treated differently when buying a car. And I have some recent examples supporting that. I mentioned a few weeks [...]

I heard the word homemaker…

May 9, 2012

If you’ve been blogging for any length of time and if you’ve earned income, you’ve probably started making some appropriate declarations on your income tax return. They may be a little painful but legally, it’s what we have to do. If we’re making any sort of money blogging, we have to claim it as income [...]

Go Big or Go Home

April 30, 2012

This is crazy. I know it’s crazy. It’s crazy but I think I’m going to do it anyway. I’m going to buy a new car. Why is that crazy? I’ll tell you why. 1. I’m getting ready to buy a new house. In fact, just yesterday I wrote about how change is good/scary/exciting/emotional. That’s a [...]

Preschool Economics

April 24, 2012

I have a secret. A financial secret. I’ve never been a saver. Ever. I think I learned that behavior from my parents. They didn’t save either. It’s not that they were financially irresponsible. They didn’t save because they were using every penny they had to keep our household going. They wasn’t any money to save. [...]

It’s not the apocalypse but according to my pantry, I’m ready for it

April 11, 2012

Are you sick of me writing about the arduous task of moving yet? I hope not because there’s plenty more to come. I’m over the speculating and ruminating about what will happen and when my life will take permanent form again. I’m over the keeping-the-house-cleaner-than-any-mortal-should-have-to mode. We’ve just about sold the house. We’ve just about [...]
