Goes to show how on top of things I am. Asa celebrated his first birthday on June 5, 2009. Turning one is quite a milestone in my book and I knew I wanted to commemorate the occasion with a party fit for a one year old (and his friends since he wouldn’t remember any of it). [...]

So what kind of invites do you want to send out? It really depends on the feel of the party. I’m always a big fan of using e-vite (being green!), but I do have to say, there is something about receiving an invitation in person or in the mail that is always a joy.

Sorry for the delay in updates. I let time get away from me but I am back now.
Making a guest list is always a dilema for me. I am a naturally outgoing person and enjoy having people over. I like to invite anyone and everyone to parties, but believe me, that can be an expensive habit. [...]

We bought our first house in December of ‘08 (missing the tax credit by 20 days! Uggg!), renovated it throughout 2009, and opened [...]

Recently I got an e-mail from a friend of mine that said, “I thought you might like this”. Typically I don’t pay attention to these e-mails, but something made me go look. What did I find? Paradise. (Well, not really). But what I found was really cool.

Since I haven’t really kept up my commitment to writing one new post a week, I figured I would do a recap of the last few weeks because they have been super busy. My apologies and I will try and be better in the future.
I finished work on April 30 and am now just [...]

Greg stole my blog idea for Murphy and God fighting, so I decided to write it anyway but in a different way.
Last month we had over $1900 dollars of expected/unexpected expenses come up. We thought that we could budget some of it in (and did) but some of it was just unforeseen expenses. [...]

Greg set me up with a website for my birthday. It’s just in it’s infant stages but come back regularly to see it grow. I promised Greg that I would write at least on blog a week to start off with. Some come back often and leave me comments as to what [...]
