Father’s Day 2011 Part 1: Beerfest

Since I was in Nashville this week, I took the opportunity to look like a drunk fill my trunk with Yuengling and some other beers for Andy for Father’s Day.  Seriously, this is what my trunk looked like and you can’t even see it all: I got some odd looks at the grocery as I

So I just got back from a long road trip that started on Tuesday.  I was in the car for about 11-12 hours in total.  From here to Louisville to Nashville back to Louisville and now home.  To pass the time, I checked out a few books on CD from the library.  If I could

So, back in March I bragged about only having ONE stroller…my favorite, the phil&ted.  And I still absolutely love it.  BUT, having three kids now, it was time for a smaller, more light-weight stroller for quick on-the-go moments.  I had three goals with this purchase: 5-point harness, not cumbersome, and not Maclaren priced…oh, and also

Garage Sale Lessons

I took part in our Neighborhood Garage Sale this past weekend.  This was probably my fourth or fifth garage sale.  Here is what I have learned from the repeated experience: If you do it to make a lot of money, ha!  There are better ways to make some extra cash.  I totaled about $150 for
