We did it! We got a puppy. His name is Baxter. Before Baxter, everyone kept telling me having a puppy is just like having a baby. And they kept asking me, "Are you sure you really want a dog?" We really did want a puppy. Baxter was the best thing that we c ... Read more...
Many, if not all of us, experience some form of holiday blue and usually the culprit has to do with finances. The stresses of having to spend more than you have on gifts is weighing on each of us this year. So how can we survive it? First, make a budget and DON'T go ... Read more...
Do you know what the most popular color is this season? Many people would think red and green. Or perhaps gold and silver. Well, it actually is grey. Why? Because grey symbolizes tradition and going back to the old way of doing things. It's a conservative color. It' ... Read more...
Colors, Colors, Colors! I just purchased the best colored pocketbook (the northerner in me comes out with what a call a handbag)--a fun rich yellow color. It's bright and brings life to my warddrobe. I was thinking the other day how I'm so attracted to the color bla ... Read more...
