must think for kids…

June 23, 2008One comment so far, add yours!

wifey’s life tips: Sure, give your college-bound kid responsibility. After all, they are old enough to begin looking out for themselves. It’s even ok to assume they are doing everything they need to do. However, if YOU are going with them on a congraduation trip, double- and triple-check EVERYTHING for them, even if [...]

weekend for moms

This is OUR weekend, moms, and we should do whatever we want! It felt really good to write that! Of all the holidays in the calendar, I love Mother’s Day weekend the best (possible exception – my birthday)! Now, if I get my way this weekend, I will be on the boat Saturday, [...]

easing the pain with free

Like most of my friends and co-workers, my family and I are feeling the pain of rising gas prices, higher grocery bills and not to forget the utilities constantly going up. I have always been one to clip coupons, sign up for contests, and I shop at the local consignment shops; but now that is [...]

spring cleaning, family fun, cheap movies, and a biker meetup

April 18, 2008Leave your thoughts!

I have put it off long enough. The SecondGrader comes home this weekend and has already asked if we are going to actually do the spring cleaning list that has been posted on the refrigerator for about a month. "Yes we are," I told her, and she is very excited.  Ha!  She is so young! So I [...]

jglb, rubber duckies, parrotheads, and wines

This weekend is going to be good, I can feel it already! Friday night I’m heading out to listen to the JGLB, I really don’t go see my husband’s band as often as I should! They are playing in Clearwater on Friday night at Two Buks (the self-proclaimed rockingest bar in Pinellas !!), if you [...]

Another work week is almost over and it is time to make your weekend plans. The Teenager has to work all weekend, so we won’t see her much (poor thing!). The little one will want to be kept busy or she will continue to ask “what’s next?”! I have looked for kid, [...]

love, hope, and insults

This weekend is BIG for us; Tommy and I have been married for 5 years as of Saturday, March 1st. The little one will be at her mom’s house so we can do whatever we want! Well, kind of. The band plays Friday night so we only have Saturday and Sunday. [...]

if it’s free, it’s for me

“Free is for me!” is and has always been my motto. I like to cut coupons and look for bargains all day long! In a sense, this is the only reason we get to do what we do and not owe thousands in credit card debt. On weekends I like to keep [...]

tampa bay’s radio contests

Over the past few years I have gone to Disney five times including two overnights at a couple of Disney resorts. My cost for all of that was $0.00. In fact, during one of those trips I was also given a $250.00 Disney Gift Card to spend! I have had the fortune to attend [...]
