Asa’s First Birthday – How to save money on a kid’s birthday party.

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). [...]

Invitations – Things to think about when doing invitations for a party.

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.
There is so [...]

Who to invite? – How many people should I plan for my party?

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. [...]

2010- A New Year, A New Commitment

Wow.  2009 was amazing.  It was crazy but beautiful.  Asa celebrated his first birthday, Greg and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, and we enjoyed every trial and joy along the way.  We bought our first house in December of ‘08 (missing the tax credit by 20 days! Uggg!), renovated it throughout 2009, and opened [...]

Swaptree

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.

Gearing up

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 [...]

Priceless

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. [...]

My New Website

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 [...]
