I am wide awake and it is almost midnight. This is the fabulous life of the business owner. My mind never stops going and it seems to go in high gear when the rest of the world goes to sleep. This is a benefit in some ways and a disadvantage in others. If you are [...]

Ok.I am being a little lazy because I am feeling a little yuck tonight. I am using the Blackberry to update my blog. Hey, at least I am still motivated right? OK, I know I am frugal, but my Blackberry is the best money ever spent. I must admit I am addicted to it, but [...]

Have you noticed I keep changing my themes. Well, I cannot decide which one I like the best and as stated before I will get bored if I don’t change things up from time to time. So, let me know if you would prefer a certain theme. I know if a theme doesn’t catch my [...]

My thoughts can be so spuratic and random that I swear sometimes that I have AADD. My intentions are to post regularly about how to practice frugality and have a fabulous life. If I get off point every now and then please forgive me. I just want to keep things interesting.

Ok, maybe I was a little harsh on my last post regarding seniors. Probably should not have been so critical of the publication, but everyone has an opinion, right? I tell my children on a daily basis to be a part of the solution and not the cause of the problem. So tonight it is [...]

I was right in the middle of posting my accounts receivable, when as usual, I became sidetracked. I happened to glance down at the 2 day old mail at my desk and saw the headline for an article in the latest edition of the AARP paper. No, I am not 55 or older, but my [...]

This morning is one of those times that I am so very grateful that I am self-employed. I worked at my consignment shoppe until almost midnight and then had several hours of work left to do when I came home. I was exhausted, but felt the best I had in a long time. I felt [...]

How do we teach our children to be frugal and not come across as cheapskates? How do we teach our children frugality without sending the wrong message about money?
