Now that my son is 7 years old, he’s spending more and more time playing outside with his friends in the neighborhood. They ride bikes, play tag, play dodgeball, and just generally do what kids in that age group do. We live in a gated community, so I don’t worry as much about safety [...]
I was at a friend’s house earlier today, and saw that she had a fireplace on wheels! It could be rolled to any room in the house to provide supplemental heat or simply beautify the space. I had never seen one of these Amish fireplaces before, but I was a bit intrigued. They would [...]

The contract for his old phone finally expired after two long years, and though it would have been really nice to just extend the contract for the minimum monthly amount, he really wanted an iPhone. Now we’re saddled with huge monthly payments again, but at least [...]
I do a lot of work from home, so I need the ability to stay connected and stay mobile no matter where I go. I hate my huge old laptop, and had been looking at netbooks for a long time.
