Paid Online Surveys December Earnings
Back in November I decided to get back into taking paid online surveys. This is something that I used to do all the time but over the months I somehow got out of the habit of doing them and well, you know how it goes. I only sign up for survey companies that offer cash incentives, gift certificates, or [...]

Vinegar and Baking Soda for Cleaning and Deodorizing it’s Cheap AND Green!
I’ll admit that I am obsessed with how my home smells. I’ve almost always got a Yankee Candle tart burning, and regularly use Wallflowers, home fragrance oils, reed diffusers, sprays, candles, and just about any other home fragrance product I can get my hands on in an effort to make things smell good around here. I am very sensitive to anything [...]

A Promise to Behave and I Even Got it in Writing!
Whenever my daughter chooses to misbehave and gets punished, she’ll let me know that she’s sorry and then promises that she’ll never do whatever it is she did to get into trouble in the first place ever again. I of course always accept her apology, have a chat with her about how our actions affect others or something along those lines, and usually halfjokingly say something like “I’m [...]
Kids Christmas Crafts: Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses
A couple of years ago I bought one of those Wilton gingerbread house kits. I got all of the pieces out of the box and I’m not sure what the problem was (although I’m sure it was related to my being craft challenged) but I couldn’t for the life of me put the stupid thing [...]

Christmas Crafts for Kids: Salt Dough Ornaments
Both of my kids love crafts and while we usually don’t do anything more than gluing foam shapes onto construction paper and coloring with crayons and markers, I thought it would be nice to try something different so we made salt dough ornaments this weekend. I was a little concerned because as much as I’d like to be, I [...]
Vegetarian Recipe: Rachael Ray’s Apple and Onion Stuffin’ Muffins (modified a little.)
Being “almost vegan” I have a hard time finding food that I am able to eat (I don’t eat meat, seafood, most cheese unless it’s vegetarian, or eggs.) So when I saw these on Rachael Ray’s Thanksgiving in 60 I knew I could make it work and I had to try them! I made a few [...]

What’s on your kids Christmas Lists this year?
Even though Abigail will be 7 later in the month (she’s a Christmas Eve baby!) this is the first year she’s been interested in writing a list for Santa. Most of the stuff is clothes for her and Paula (her American Girl Just Like Me Doll who she named after her favorite person in the [...]

Twilight the movie, I tried really hard to like it.
Everybody knows that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie but even so, I had high hopes for the movie adaptation of Twilight. The previews were pretty good, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson seemed to have good chemistry and I thought, what the heck I’ll spend a Saturday afternoon checking it out. So I [...]
