Last year we attended the World's Longest Yard Sale for the first time. I carried a notebook with me in the car and took notes along the way, just so I could put together a review that might be helpful for those wanting to get a feel for what it's like to actually be on the World's Longest Yard Sale route. I looked all over the Internet last summer before we went, and couldn't find anything that I personally felt gave much info about what it was really like to attend the World's Longest Yard … [Read more...]
Earlier, I told you how we decided on ThermoSpas for our very first hot tub. Now, I'll share a little bit of inside scoop about the ThermoSpa hot tub delivery process. It wasn't exactly as we thought it would be. That doesn't mean it was a 'bad' experience -- just different than we initially thought. The good news is, we're thrilled with our ThermoSpa hot tub and we've used it every day since we got it (...except for a few days when we were out of town). This is what our backyard looked like -- … [Read more...]
Jim and I always want to call it "ThermaSpa"(with an "a"), but technically the company name is ThermoSpas (with an "o" and usually plural). Confusing name, but their hot tubs are a supurb quality and we couldn't be happier that we are the proud new owners of a ThermoSpa hot tub. I just thought I'd share a little about how we were introduced to ThermoSpas and why we think they make some of the best hot tubs around. I'm Not Really The Hot Tub Type By the way, I never thought I … [Read more...]

Woah! It's not often that I talk about a new site or idea without having a lot of experience with it. But this one doesn't require a lot of experience & know-how in order to wow and amaze you. Check out Retrevo.com. It's a site that contains reviews, ratings, details, and specs for virtually every product under the sun. Think: online shopping site... on steroids!

Have you ever used a Little Giant ladder before? We did once. We borrowed a friend's Little Giant in order to do our exterior Spring cleaning around the house last year. I've gotta say... it was the best thing we ever did in terms of getting the outside of our house up to par for the summer. And, I was surprised by the number of features and the flexibility of this ladder! Little Giant Highlights Rated to 250 to 375 lbs (...depending on which ladder you choose) … [Read more...]
Who knew, that I'd first hear about Mr. Clean Magic Erasers at a conference about blogging? It's true. When Glenn Reynolds (a.k.a. "The Instapundit" and godfather of the blogging world) mentioned in passing how much he liked this handy household gadget, I knew it must be great. And when he commented on its ability to work on a wide variety of surfaces, rather than just those stated on the box, I knew this product would be right up my alley. I'm not kidding when I say these Magic Erasers … [Read more...]
