    Eco Shopping is Good for You and The Environment

    September 3, 2018 /

    Eco shopping has become very popular these days, and that’s a good thing. With climate change and resource usage being real wolves outside our doors, it’s important that we do whatever we can to help reduce our impact on the planet. Most of us already recycle. A lot of us upcycle, finding new uses for used items or turning them into crafts. There’s so much more we can do, though, and it’s easy. Take shopping for example. Eco shopping may sound like a trendy term, but it really just means being more efficient and making small changes that impact both us and our environment in a positive way. What is…

    Buying Sheets – What You Need to Know

    April 18, 2018 /

    Buying sheets can be a comforting thing or an exercise in frustration. After all, there’s nothing better than a nice, cozy bed. It makes such a welcoming environment when you lay down, and your bed wraps you up in a restful hug. But not all sheets are created equal. Sheets use varying types and qualities of thread to make them last longer or feel softer. It’s more involved than you might think. So let’s take a look at what you need to know when buying sheets.

    6 Classes to Consider When You Buy an RV

    February 24, 2016 /

    These days road tripping is more popular than ever. If you don’t really want to do the sleep in a tent on the ground kind of camping that many are comfortable with, then you might give some though to buying or renting an RV. There are several things to take into consideration when you buy an RV. RVs come in several varieties and sizes, have different features, and are designed for different things. Some of these recreational vehicles are equipped with everything you need to take your family on the road and live for weeks inside them. Others are not much bigger than a van.  Before you get started,  you…

With Giving Assistant, online shopping is back in all its glory. Giving Assistant – How It’s Bringing the Fun Back One of the most frustrating parts of online shopping is finding promo codes.

    If you’re engaged, planning your wedding, or helping to plan someone else’s wedding, the London Winter Bridal Show is the place to be this weekend January 23rd and 24th. It’s been many years since our wedding but I still recall attending a wedding show over 20 years ago now with my Mom and a couple of my bridesmaids. I remember being in a wedding fashion show once as well. The time from your engagement to the wedding day itself and even the honeymoon, the days can fly by ridiculously fast. Wedding planning is a busy time and it can be stressful but with help, with the right businesses partnering to build…

    Appliance Shopping Adventures

    November 22, 2015 /

     ADVENTURES in appliance shopping: We are price matching our butts off over here appliance shopping. We need a new dishwasher and a new refrigerator. We really need a new laundry set too, but we are prioritizing the refrigerator and dishwasher for now because old dishwasher will die any day and currently makes weird noises sometimes. Also our fridge is old and small and doesn’t close right. So we are appliance shopping and we have been doing that on and off, for months. I think we’ve both had just about enough actually. Flipp App helps for some of that and then there’s good old fashioned leg work. Over the last few months,…

    Are you a meal planner? Or do you see your phone flashing 5 p.m. and hit the panic button? I am a bit of both. More manic panic meals than well thought out meal plans. So why should I be concerned? Well, I know it makes more sense to plan because it is budget friendly. There are thousands of bloggers talking meal plans. Need proof? Head on over to Facebook any night at about 5 p.m., or browse some blogs on a Monday. Menu Planning Monday is a whole thing. Until recently, I have taken a pass on this whole phenomenon. But I know I can do better. I know…
