Budgeting Basics
Everyone hates the âBâ word: budget. Some people try to dress it up by calling it a spending plan or something similar. Iâm fine with the word budget, mostly because Iâve seen the benefits of living on one for the past few years. I spent the first six years after college working in various cities and spending a larger part of what I earned. Although I was able to avoid some of the materialism and other pitfalls of my friends, I didnât budget or spend much time thinking about such things. Once

La Befana Collaga
 My 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women book came in the mail today. I am looking forward to starting the online group on Friday.  We went on New Yearâs Day to a labyrinth and after Melody behaved herself so well the whole time, she went to get a drink and knocked over a glass jar candle which shattered all over the floor. Then we went out to the parking lot (of the church where the indoor labyrinth was) and our car window was smashed and my husbandâs bag stolen with things in it. The mai

You Really Miss It When It's Gone
Up until about 5 minutes ago I was REALLY wishing I could start 2009 over again. Tim and I made a quick trip to Edmonton late Saturday afternoon - we were delivering a new 2009 Malibu car to his brother (the fact that it was the coldest night/morning in oh - over 40 years - didn't really seem to matter. Check out Julie's blog here to see what the temps were). The trip there (a little over 5 hours) was fine - it was a NICE car and so comfy! The trip back was another story. We had to leave Sund

Insurance Done Right!
My brother has just brought a new bike a couple of months ago. The bike itself is worth buying bike insurance. But the sad thing is that he doesnât think that it needs insurance for he said he can take care of it. He said he is a very handy man who and doesnât believe in any insurance at all! I then explained to him the importance of getting insurance in case something bad happened to it. It took awhile before I finally convinced him to get one! Believe it or not, his car is not in

Service: The One About Service Rendered to Me
I was a father of 3 boys, in 1986, living in the good life in our first purchased home. It was December. We bought the home in late May and son #3 was born in early June. I was 4 months into the second year of the job that brought us to the desert. I walked to work so one car was enough. I was still putting in long hours toward grading papers. The upcoming holiday break would be a welcome relief. I came home late from work that evening. My wife told me that she took the sick baby to the doc

Hyundai will Take your Car Back (Most of the Time)
CC photo by MSVG In a life changing event, that is. Hyundai has begun to promote a new program that claims that âif you cannot make your payment because of a life changing event, weâll allow you to return your vehicle and walk away from your loan obligation - and in most cases, we will cover most, if not all of the differenceâ.

10 Reasons Why I Need an AK47 Mounted on my Bumper
People Are idiots Itâs Monday, and Iâm back to work after a week off, so Iâm cranky. My crankiness started this morning, when a jerk in a car in front of me flicked his lit cigarette butt out of the window of his car. Which got me started on all the things that I hate about other drivers. 1. Donât toss your cigarette butt or anything else out of your car window. Keep your own garbage in your own car.

I think that we may have reached a new toddler stage: âIâm afraid to go into my closet because thereâs a monster in there.â Just a while ago, I opened Lucasâs closet door to get some clothes for him, and he said, âDonât go in there!â I asked why, and he said, âThereâs a Screaminâ Banshee in there.â I laughed and said, âAre you scared to go into your closet?â And he said, âYeah.â Then I asked, âWhy is there a Screaminâ Banshee in your closet?â Luke replied, âBecause I put it in there.â LOL! :)

Mommy Limo
Sometimes I think that mothers have to be the WORST drivers on the road.  I am a mother, I should know. We are distracted, constantly.  There seems to always be a request for us to pass something to someone.  Or there is something that was dropped on the floor, and needs to be retrieved and passed back to the owner.   Often we will be fishing around with one hand behind our backs for the object on the floor behind us, while steering with the other hand. Or what about the crying of a baby

Operation Office Overhaul: Dianaâs story
The moment happened three weeks ago. My husband told me our auto insurance company needed the title to a car that had been totaled. My stomach sank. I knew the title was in our safe deposit box over at the bank. When my son was a toddler heâd wreaked havoc in my office, picking labels off my cabinet drawers, turning my sewing gadgets into toys, and yes, emptying the box where I stored a couple sets of keys that were now God-knows-where. After hours of hunting, I came up with a key that looked
