Stamp Out Hunger is this weekend! Last week I posted how to create a writing space and didn’t really mention what to do with the letters once written. You need to send them, but if you are fresh out of stamps, or are looking for special stamps for your special mail (I know I do!), then consider ...

As waste management companies continue to expand recycling becomes more and more common.  However, for some people the service is not available and the question becomes, what can I do if I don't want to pay the extra cost and/or the service is not available where I live? If you live in a condo, ...

Mother's Day always seems to remind me of Sunday brunch.  Maybe because for years that was our tradition to say thank you to Mom.  Taking her out for dinner vs. having her cook at home.  My Mom was a stay-at-home Mom and she did a great job with being involved in our activities and our lives.  I ...

Yesterday I spent the day with a buyer for a home in Colorado Springs.  This is his 4th trip out to look at houses prior to moving here.  We had narrowed the list down to 20 homes over the course of the past 6 months. In the week prior to his arrival three went under contract. Yesterday on our wa...
