One thing that writing on this blog is reminded me of, is my complete lack of knowledge of the rules of grammar. Frankly I have been writing for work and for fun without having any idea of what is right or wrong, just writing in the way that I think sounds correct. It’s [...]

This one has been on my mind for a few weeks, because there has been construction on my normal route to work. Construction is a regular part of our lives, there is no way of avoiding it. Living in a place where we have all four seasons, I do get a break from [...]

In my morning reading I came across an article highlighting the recent release of Consumer Reports annual “top picks” of cars for 2007.

A little background to this topic is in order. [...]

It amazes me how someone who is intelligent, capable and makes millions for big companies can loose all common sense when put in charge of a baby. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore my husband, for more reasons than already listed, but I can’t help but rant a little about his “parenting” the [...]

I have been shopping through online classifieds looking for a generator to use with my camp trailer. Not an essential item, but something I want and I am willing to shop around for. I want to find a decent deal before making a purchase, but I have a specific model in mind I [...]

Why is that as kids we fight sleep, and as adults we fight for it? Kids hate naps as toddlers, crying themselves to sleep (at least mine do) and the other youngsters do everything in their power to push bed time later with every stall tactic imaginable. As a teenager I remember staying up late [...]
