No Child Should Ever Go Hungry

Then why is SNAP Funding in jeopardy of being cut. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was put in place to keep families fed during times of need. Unemployment, medical emergency and even a simple change in payroll could cause a family to need assistance they never needed before. Congress is looking to make changes to the Farm Bill, the legislation that provides funding for the SNAP Program. The changes could mean radical cuts to a program that puts food on the tables of … [Read more...]

May 17, 2012 by
Bloggy Boot Camp is coming to Philadelphia. I missed it last year but there is was way I was going to let it pass me by again.

Time To Make Those Home Repairs
May 16, 2012 by
Ok people, now that spring is here it is time to walk through your house and take note of things you may want to update or may need to fix due to the winter weather. I know when spring hits the first thing I check in our house are all of the pipes, pvc fittings under all of the sinks. Now I know that may seem weird but there is nothing worse than a broken pipe or fitting which could cause major damage and cost a fortune. I am not saying that a visual inspection will find all problems but it … [Read more...]

Do You Love Where You Live?
May 16, 2012 by
They saying buying a new home is one of if not the largest purchase you will ever make in your life time and I agree. Finding just the right home in the right area is extremely important and even more so if you have kids because you need to think about school districts and what school will be best for you child. I thought when we were in Maryland about two years ago that we would be there for a while and that was where we were going to call home. it’s too bad we moved because Southern … [Read more...]
Getting Into Shape Is Hard Work
May 15, 2012 by
Melinda and I have always tried to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle. Do we fall off the wagon sometimes? Heck yeah but this time we are both really making an effort to get healthy and stay healthy. Melinda and I started running and are currently training for a 5k so that shows how serious we are about this because Melinda and I are not big runners. I must admit though I am starting to enjoy running just as much as I do cycling. Not sure Melinda is at the enjoyment stage yet but she is … [Read more...]
It’s Finally Up There
May 14, 2012 by
It’s already been almost 2 years since we moved into this house. While we are constantly making changes, purchases and improvements we’ve finally gotten the TV off my dresser and onto the wall. In previous homes we’ve had the tv on tv stands but for some reason lately my dresser has become it’s home. I’ve always hated it. My dresser should be home to my jewelry box, clean laundry waiting to be put away or the rogue hair bands Shae leaves around the house. Having the tv on the dresser … [Read more...]
