It seems like there is never enough room in our house. I feel that it is cluttered, mainly because of all the stuff stacked throughout the house. It is a challenge that has been bothering me, and I am finally going to do something about it.
What I have decided to do is sell my fitness […]
Ever since my father had his accident, he has had difficulty getting into the bathtub. Since taking a shower is no longer an option for him, he has had to look for other options when it comes to bathing.
So, we went to a store that specialized in walk in tubs to see if we could […]
Since the accident that my father suffered a couple of years ago, his mobility has been greatly reduced. He cannot navigate stairs at all and he was faced with a couple of options.
On one hand, they could sell their dream home and find a house that was mainly just one level. Though this was an […]
I know that the big selling point of digital cameras was that you could take as many pictures as you wanted without having to worry about the cost of the film. That was definitely a step in the right direction, but all these pictures came with one problem: we never printed anything out.

Over the weekend, we finally had an opportunity to get some yard work done. With the snow finally melted (we had some earlier in the week), we were able to do a little weeding.
Thankfully, I must have done a good job weeding last fall before the first snowfall, and it didn’t take very long. So, […]
Spring is here, and I decided that it was time to clean the house. I had one room in particular that was a big mass - my office.

When I woke up this morning, it seemed like it would be a great day. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and it seemed like one of those few perfect moments in life.
Or so I thought.
When I went downstairs to fix breakfast, I was greeted with a large puddle on my kitchen floor. Turns […]
My parents have had a home alarm at their home for a number of years now. Originally, it was installed because they worked out of the home a lot, so it was there to deter thieves.
But, seeing that my parents are cheap, they did not pay for any monitoring services.
This past year, we bought alarm […]
When my husband and I bought our first house I had no idea at all of the different costs that would be involved. Sure, I knew about the mortgage and other monthly expenses but what I didn’t realize was that there was so much more to owning a house. I learned very quickly though, as […]
It seems that no matter what you do, once you start renovating your home, there is no turning back. We have tackled the bathroom and that is finally complete, but there is a new eyesore in our home - the kitchen.
When I look at the floor, all I see is the nasty linoleum that we […]
