Today is the day we have to finish cleaning out the MIL’s apartment, and with everything going on lately, I’ll be honest, I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do. So today, since my mind is busy pondering yet another online project (because I need to do one more thing besides this, Life by Pets, 100 Words On, and Fiction in 50), I thought I would share a couple projects that some blogging friendsread more…
Checking In: We’re doing okay. Things are moving along, though not always at the pace they should be (or that I think they should be). Current Status: We finish moving everything out of the MIL’s apartment this Saturday. While I don’t want to force C to give up anything, he doesn’t want to, I just don’t know how long we can hold onto a collection of giant bear welcome signs and knick-knacks that we willread more…
As regular readers know, my mother-in-law passed away recently. While C and I are both doing fine, there are a million little things we need to take care of right now. The time has to come from somewhere, and in my case, that means no time to write quality posts for my readers here. Thankfully, I have some amazing blogger friends who instantly stepped up when I asked for help. So for the next week orread more…

My to do list today is a little long today, since we have people coming over for dinner tonight and the first part of the home study on Monday night. While the corned beef is on the stove, I still have to clean the kitchen, clean off the dining room table (well, finish doing that, I started last night), clean the living room, and vacuum the whole upstairs (one of the people who is coming tonightread more…
As regular readers know, my mother-in-law passed away last Friday morning. While C and I are both doing fine, there are a million little things we need to take care of right now.

It’s an Emotional Decision First: The choice to bring a child in to your life, including the when and how, is primarily an emotional decision. Most people will tell you, there is no such thing as the perfect time to have a child. You just have to decide that’s what you want and go for it. C and I are no exceptions to this. We have been talking about kids since we were dating. (We haveread more…

Since its women’s money week, what I’ve been reading mostly consists of posts in that vein. You can check out all the amazing posts over at Women’s Money Week, but I thought I’d highlight a few that have really caught my attention. I learned about Women’s Money Week via Jackie at Money Crush, so I only think it’s appropriate to start off with her, and her post on why savings accounts aren’t just for rainyread more…
