Today was garbage day and I drove around a few streets to see if there were any "goods" people were throwing away. I did this in my parents' old "ritzy" neighbourhood (from when I was a kid). Someone had a good-looking Evenflo front-facing carseat (with the expiry of December 2013) at the side...

FINALLY!! Got the van paid off, 3 months early. We are so excited. DH is already planning the next bill to start tackling!! It is because of this board that we even heard or learned about snowballing and budgeting. Its because of all of you that we were able to pay the van off and can now...

I was called in to work early on Friday and didn't have time to make myself a lunch. I stopped at Quizno's to get a Torpedo. This particular strip mall has TINY parking spaces. Well, this stupid ditz in front of me couldn't decide which parking space she wanted to be in, so she couldn't get...

My goal for January was to curb take out & it failed miserably!! I find I'm so rushed and overly tired some nights. I would love to have some easy prepared meals in the fridge (homemade of course to cut costs). I just dont know where to start. I would like to make and freeze soups as well in...

I just picked up a 3 drawer dresser curb side yesterday it needs new pull knobs but otherwise is is pretty good shape. I also recently picked up a night stand curb side. It is amazing the things people throw away! Love it! I would be fun to hear what others have scored!

I started cleaning up the front yard today. I had some bags of mulch that have been sitting out there for what seems like forever. I forgot there were so many, but finally managed to get all 27 back to the "holding area" in the back. The crabgrass and weeds had grown up around them, so I...

Not sure what you call it, but it IS fun!! Similar to a NordicTrak, but no strings, but poles..and the bottom is curved like a rocking chair? Anyway you glide your feet back and forth and move the polls back and forth? Anyway it was very fun. I hope to hop on a couple of times a day. Right...

I was just getting hungry, and i cut up a banana :ban: and drizzled a little honey on it. It was sooo good, and It feels like it will hold me over! Please let us know if you have any snacks that help you from not overeating!!
