Does anyone have a gee tar, a black sharpie and a piece of cardboard I can borrow? Because pretty soon here I’ll be singing the blues. I was able to double some coupons for the Velveeta mac & cheese and the Seattle’s Best Iced coffee that was on sale at Albertsons last week and ended Read More >>

How do you cook bacon? My favorite method is to bake it in the oven at 375 degrees until nearly crisp. The Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird, Little Miss Smarty Pants and The Mathematician roasted marshmallows in the fireplace last weekend. Then they stayed up late and watched the Goonies.
