Home Exchange Love
I love to travel and see the world but travel can be an expensive indulgence. Eating out, hotels, and rental cars can all really add up. Now, the first thing we do when the travel bug hits is start searching our favorite home exchange service website. It wasn’t always like this. Years ago, I worked… Continue reading Home Exchange Love
Yes, I Love Chairs
They say the first step in acknowledging you have a problem is admitting it. Well, I have a problem with chairs. You could call it a chair obsession if you wanted to. I like to think of them as my entertainment. So I love chairs – what’s the big deal? They’re free, on the sidewalk,… Continue reading Yes, I Love Chairs
Super Bowl Sunday Love
This is not about football, even though it is about Super Bowl Sunday. I love Super Bowl Sunday because I love my dining room rug. If you’re wondering how these could possibly be related, they are. The bidding on my dining room rug, which I purchased used from eBay, ended on Super Bowl Sunday. If… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday Love
Homemade Granola Love
I love granola and especially this "no stir while you’re baking it in the oven" granola. For breakfast, as a snack, with yogurt or with ice cream - it’s all good. It’s really tasty with a smoothie poured over it in a bowl or with fresh fruit sprinkled on top. The best part is, I’ve… Continue reading Homemade Granola Love

Cloth Napkin Love
Oh, how I love cloth napkins. Double layer, cloth napkins made with cotton fabric, thank you very much. I’m sure you’re wondering why the double layer. Well, they absorb what you’re wiping up (or is it wiping off?) much better than single layer napkins. Cotton fabric, because it’s so much more absorbent than polyester. Yes,… Continue reading Cloth Napkin Love

The Problem with Budgeting
The biggest problem with budgeting (other than being incredibly boring to most people) is that people don’t do it. What most commonly happens is that as people earn more money as they progress in their careers, they simply spend more money. Basically, people spend what they earn. (Some even spend more than the earn but… Continue reading The Problem with Budgeting
