Freebie Friday: Shutterfly Holiday Cards House Party!
October 14th, 2011 
Jessica Since we’ve moved I haven’t had many freebies to share, but today I was chosen to host a Shutterfly Holiday Card House Party! I love House Party because it gives me a reason to have friends over, and it gives me lots of free stuff to use and share!
Q & A Wednesday: How can I update my bathtub and shower?
October 12th, 2011 Jessica When we moved into our new place, the room that needed the most work was the bathroom. The property manager had the toilet repaired and new flooring put in, which meant our friends on committee were not able to get in there to work on the insides of the cabinets, or spackle the walls. Then […]
Love Your Rental: Clean Up The Exterior
October 8th, 2011 Jessica When Brad and I arrived at our new place, we were told that it had a lot of potential, but it was in need of some love. One of the places that was most obvious was around the outside of our house. So Brad and I (and even Naomi) have been spending a lot of […]
Q & A Wednesday: How can I get a good deal on window treatments?
October 5th, 2011 Jessica Our kids have not been sleeping as well since we moved, and one of the main reasons is their bedroom! At my parents’ house, they slept in a dark, cool, windowless bedroom in the basement. In our new place, they are on the main floor with two big windows and no window coverings. During the […]
Q & A Wednesday: How can I update my rental property inexpensively?
September 29th, 2011 Jessica One of the most inexpensive ways that you can update any property inexpensively is PAINT! That is, with the permission of the property manager, of course. Our new rental property was in desperate need of some updates, so our property manager accepted less than half of the security deposit if we were willing to handle […]
I’m Published!
September 27th, 2011 Jessica Yesterday I opened my favorite blog, Money Saving Mom, and saw the title of her most recent article, “How Not to Play the Drugstore Game.” My first thought was, “Crystal must have liked that article I submitted back in May, and decided to write one of her own.” But as I glanced through the blog […]
FREE Books!
August 6th, 2011 Jessica As I was packing for two trips recently, I collected some of the books I was hoping to read. I love to read! I love relaxing with a book, and I love learning new things. I also love finding FREE books! Among the books above are two books that I borrowed (one from my mom, […]
My Reading List Update: 12 Books in 12 Months
July 26th, 2011 Jessica Over the weekend I finished reading Choosing to SEE by Mary Beth Chapman (with Ellen Vaughn). I have been a long-time fan of Steven Curtis Chapman, and also knew of the tragedy that befell the Chapman family in May 2008. In fact, when we were in China (2007-2009) we lived in the same town and […]
FREE Night at the Carnival
July 15th, 2011 Jessica On Tuesday night, Brad was out running 17 miles (yes, my husband trains for marathons year-round) after work so I joined my parents and siblings at the town carnival for the evening. The nice thing about the carnival is, you don’t have to pay for admission unless you ride the rides! My kids are still […]
