Grocery and Meal Planning

I’m getting better at it – grocery shopping and meal planning that is. Before I used to forget a lot of stuff we need and it is always a pain to run out of something here in the neck of the woods where we live. I also tend to either overybuy stuff or underbuy it. [...]

Summer Getaway

It’s summer here already and that only means one thing – the beach is calling and vacation travel trips must be planned. I have been planning a vacation for the family for next month so we can save for it. The dream of a trip of just the husband and I remains a dream for [...]

Collections

Collecting things is a hobby that is bound to give you some clutter. I suggest you decide to collect things that gain monetary value over time, like coins jewelry or stamps. That would be nice. (They are small too and would less be likely to accumulate space). You would be so lucky if you chance [...]

Travelling to UK

A friend of mine recently had her dream trip of lifetime come true. She would going to London for an all-expense paid trip because of her work.

I’m pretty much satisfied with our little apartment now. It’s really a house, with a garden, patio, two rooms, one bath and a dirty kitchen and laundry area. We have our own water tank and the area is really quiet and homey. All the people who have seen our little home has described it as [...]

Going to the Mountains

A friend of ours has been trying to convince us to try mountain hiking. He has been a member of their mountaineering society for five years now and he has been trying to recruit more people to join them. It will be safer and more enjoyable in groups, he claim.
Uhm, I really don’t think so. [...]

A Dog.

That’s what one of my kids want for Christmas. A dog.
How will I ever give in to this request? For one, I hate pets. All kinds! Second, we have a house so small. Third, who will take care of the dog? Who will feed, bathe and train him? And most importantly, who will [...]
