I had a head cold yearly as a child, especially when I was in school during flu season and surrounded by sick children who don’t cover their faces or noses when they cough or sneeze. My mother would send me to school with hand sanitizer, but I’m not sure how often I actually used it. […]

I had no plans to move back to my hometown in my mid 30s, but I’m an only-child and my parents needed help with certain tasks as their health issues regressed and worsened. The one saving-grace was the cheap real estate market at the time. I found a two-bedroom house with an average-sized yard for […]

I am overly careful sometimes with trivial tasks, but it’s from having a childhood where a lot of chaos was present throughout the house. My siblings were always yelling, fighting, and breaking my parents’ valuables. I hated hearing them get scolded as much as I hated getting scolded myself, because the anger in my parents’ […]

My husband just read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Millionaire next door… Now he is all about real estate. Now if you want to make a lot of money and keep it long term, you need to invest, but one of the easiest plus most consistent things to invest in is properties, actually rentals. […]

My in-laws then come to a freshly clean, well smelling house I work an office job out in the city, but my technical prowess are limited! When I get back home I don’t have a lot of energy. My hubby and I do a lot of take out or frozen meals, the two of us […]

I live just far enough south that I no longer deal with sub-zero temperatures or snow. For most of the year, the weather in my local area is just perfect. My husband and I leave the doors and windows open to enjoy the fresh breeze. We can step outside in shorts and a T-shirt and […]

For my home gym, I’ve invested into the most basic equipment. I have been unwilling to spend a lot of money on workout gear. I have a yoga mat, jump rope, set of free weights and an incline bench. I get creative with the types of workouts I do. I include all different types of […]

When I decided to spend the money on a larger piece of workout equipment, I devoted a lot of time to research. I have limited space available in my home gym. I don’t have an unlimited budget to spend on exercise equipment. I was worried about investing into a machine that I would never use […]

I worry about my husband’s health and future quality of life. He and I are the same age. We met and started dating in high school and have been married for thirty-five years. I have always been involved in sports and made fitness a priority. I workout every single day for at least an hour. […]

After considering all different types of machines, I chose an elliptical for my home gym. There are very good reasons why this kind of equipment has gained popularity in the last few years. Compared to other machines, an elliptical doesn’t take up any extra space. The operation is virtually silent, allowing me to workout at […]

I have trouble drinking the recommended amount of water per day. I blame my poor hydration habits on hard water while I was growing up. My family had well water that was orange in color and tasted and smelled terrible. Way back then, bottled water wasn’t common or popular. My mother never would have purchased […]

I went through a few strange local heating and air conditioning contractors before finding a qualified expert, and I mean, all these people claim they are experts… But you can’t constantly take their word for it. It usually depends on the individual, however some people could go to heating and air conditioning college for a […]
