  • Flats in Manchester

    Posted on Saturday August 29th, 2009 at 22:05 in shoes, resources, language, 08 09

    I'm from the US, so when I read about flats in Manchester, I think about shoes. I'm thinking probably there's a lot of walking in Manchester, and it's best to wear flats instead of heels. Of course, that's not what they mean at all. In Manchester...

  • Do You Know a Fantasy Football Fanatic?

    Posted on Friday August 28th, 2009 at 15:30 in football, free stuff, resources, 08 09

    I'm starting to see some discussion about Fantasy Football on my facebook feeds, mostly from my guy friends. Still, it does seem a little stereotypical to think that Fantasy Football is something that only guys would be interested in. For instance,...

  • Birth Announcements Made Easy

    Posted on Friday August 21st, 2009 at 15:20 in design, resources, beth, 08 09

    When our kids were born, we didn't send out birth announcements. We called people, we made an announcement at church, and we went on with our lives, adjusting to having a new baby in the house. Looking back, I'm not even sure how we would have gone...

  • Where'd They Get That Bling?

    Posted on Thursday August 20th, 2009 at 20:59 in jewelry, 08 09

    Have you ever looked at Rap and Hip Hop stars and wondered where they get all that bling? Seriously, it's not like you can find it at the jewelry counter of your neighborhood Kmart. Well, I just found out. Part of the reason I love paid posts is t...

  • Do You Have Home Contents Insurance?

    Posted on Tuesday August 18th, 2009 at 09:13 in insurance, pictures, 08 09

    We just got our home owners insurance renewal, and it lists everything that's covered. There's a certain amount of coverage for the actual house, and then there's another amount for the contents of the home. I'm not sure how that's figured. I mean...

  • To the Fair!

    We'll be heading to the Wisconsin State Fair tomorrow. Cory has to work from 3:30-10:30 so we'll just take him to work, drop him off, and spend the time he's working hanging out at the fair. If he had his license I suppose he could drive himself to...

    The Wisconsin State Fair started today, and that means Cory is working for the next couple weeks. This is his 3rd year working the Golden Guernsey booth at the fair, and he really enjoys it. The days are long, and there's a lot of standing, but it'...
