For those of you interested in the outcome of the door knocker auction, it sold for $76.77! Made me take a second look at it, to be honest with you. This was one of those instances where an emotional attachment drove the price. Apparently, it will be a 38th wedding anniversary present [...]

It is with great interest that I follow other blogs regarding people who are deeply in debt, my favorite being by Tricia at Blogging Away Debt. I think that these type of blogs are so popular with both the in debt and the not in debt (thankfully, me) readers because they make you feel [...]

There are times when a buyer will bid and fail to pay. In reality it has not happened that much to me, but it does indeed happen from time to time. When you get a slow pay/no pay bidder I would recommend following these steps. Get too pushy and you run the [...]

My husband and I have two boys. The older one, is my cautious kid. The younger one, pictured below, is not. Case is point: his two front teeth are now loose since he decided to run full steam while looking backwards (they were playing hide-n-seek). When he decided to turn around [...]
