Weddings are always fun – but the recent wedding that we had attended had to be one of the best ones that I had gone for – it was a backyard wedding but everything was just beautiful.  And from what I’ve heard – the bride and groom didn’t spend a fortune for a memorable wedding.   [...]

The washer and dryer pedestals are pretty to look at – but they are very expensive to purchase – I think we paid like $200 for each – so that can set you back like $500 tax included.   So the other day, a friend who had dropped in asked if it was worth getting [...]

We have the above for the longest time – so the spouse wants a new couch for the tv room – a leather one he said.  I don’t mind leather furniture but the colors are limited and may not go with the tv room – but the spouse argued that cleaning leather furniture was way [...]
