Summer Days

Well, school is now out and summer has officially started.  It won't be too long before moms and dads are pulling out their hair because the kids are bored.  Beat the summer time boredom and plan a fun summer.

These activities don't have to be expensive and most the time the funniest ones cost little to no money at all!

Life and Death

Yesterday my daughter got some fish from the store.  She was so excited! She named her fish Goldie and Onyx.  She even couldn't sleep because she just wanted to watch them all night.

The Art of Ironing

There is just something satisfying about a nice crisp, clean, strait seam in a pair of pants. What's sad is that it is so easy to do on your own, yet hundreds of dollars are spent every year taking your clothes to the dry cleaner just to get the same thing. It surprises me how many men and women don't know how to iron.

I decided that this post was going to teach those of you out there who don't know how to iron, and maybe refresh or teach something new to those who do.  So grab a pile of fresh clean clothes, turn on some tunes (gotta make ironing fun) and lets get ironing!

First, here are the things you need:
