Health and dental insurance is something that everyone should have but due to one situation or another doesn’t. My family for example doesn’t have health or dental insurance because Melinda is a stay at home mom and I am a contractor for a bank. Being a contractor has it benefits but its one HUGE drawback is no insurance benefits. Thankfully our family is pretty healthly so we have avoided having to pay any huge medical bills out of pocket. I was just talking to Melinda today about … [Read more...]
A Good Reputation Is Key
May 24, 2012 by
I was always told that having a good reputation is key to being successful and I agree with that statement 100%. You wouldn’t buy a car, choose a nanny or get someone to fix your house if they had a crappy reputation. The same holds true for us as bloggers. Why would companies want to work with us as individuals if we have a bad reputation? I recently discovered a site called reputation.com and the basic premise is that you can get an instant snapshot of what your online reputation looks … [Read more...]

No Child Should Ever Go Hungry
May 17, 2012 by
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...]

I am not saying that a visual inspection will find all problems but it … [Read more...]

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.

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...]
