Flats in Manchester
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?
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,...
One Remote to Control Them All
Remember the days when you actually had to get up and change the channel on the television? Well, not any more. Now you just point your handy remote control in the general direction of the television, and change channels to your heart's content, w...
Birth Announcements Made Easy
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?
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?
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...
The Bluelight Will be Flashing Again
-- This post was sponsored by Kmart. All the opinions are mine. --It looks like Kmart is starting a tradition - Kmart Bluelight specials on Saturdays. Of course, there's no way to know how long this tradition will last, so if you want to take advan...
Are You Campus Ready?
-- This post was sponsored by Sears. All the opinions are mine. --I just browsed through the Sears CampusReady site, and I can definitely say that we are not Campus Ready. Not at all. Remember when you had your first baby, and you could hardly bel...
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...

It's State Fair Time Again
