Our Family

I don’t know about y’all but my electricity costs go up so much in the summer. I do know that my electric company raises their rates during the summer months. I am assuming they all do. I know that mine dos because it is an EMC and they send out a little newsletter thingy that…

It used to be that September signified fall but it seems like more and more it stays hotter longer. I am so ready for the weather to cool down that it is not even a little bit funny. It has been so hot here in the last few weeks that going outside has been difficult….

If you go to sell your home the one thing that you need to consider doing is staging it. I am considering selling my home next year and simply packing the kids up and moving. If you have followed me for a while then you know this is something I have been thinking about off…

We all had to start learning to cook somewhere right? I can remember the very first dish I made and let me tell you I thought I was a four star chef at the time. I was eight years old and my great aunt had all of kids over. Everyone was off doing something and…

My aunt is currently in the hospital and she is super stubborn. Which I guess when I get into my seventies I will be as well but she insists on going to this little small town hospital. If it was something minor like a broken bone or such I would say okay but she has…

Today I turn the big 40 and I would love to tell you that it was this Earth shattering event but sadly not even a blip on the seismograph happened so far. Which in most places could actually be a good thing. I also heard that once you reach the big ages it was downhill…
