Although the sun is shining and it’s hot, the wind blows too much to go to the beach. So, holidays at home.

This weekend I was having a conversation with a neighbor about how much we need holidays and where to go and she asked why don’t I go to the south of the country to a camping park. Camping …

New Year is just a few days ago and resolutions must be made. 2008 was a tough year when talking about money and 2009 is expected to be worse.

While I was Stumbling Upon I found a site with a Stay At Home Calculator. If you are a full time worker thinking about being a Stay at Home use this calculator to check if you can afford it. Well, I would have to have more extra income to be a Stay At Home Mom…my dream has to be …

I’ve been giving a lot of thought about my job. I’m really getting nuts with it, the people, the environment; I’m really psychologically affected by all this.

My car needed some new parts, it failed in the annual inspection so we had to fix it. 380 Euros (+/-590 US$) was the bill and it only included the price of the parts, the handwork was for free.

Well…I guess I need a drink. See you……

I write posts because I love to write about my daily life as well as about products and services that can be useful to my readers.

On one of my previous posts I mentioned the fact that I did not expect extra bills from May, then I posted about my teeth and the extra bills that were coming ahead. Now, my husband’s car broke yesterday and once it is veeryyyy old probably it can’t be fixed. We don’t know how we are going to manage to …

On Sunday my tooth situation got worse and I was able to get an emergency appointment with at the dentist clinic. The broken piece of my tooth was removed and I was told that the tooth broke already in the root, meaning, probably I’ll have to remove the tooth. I’ve got an appointment for tomorrow and the dentist is going …

I’m having a little trouble in controlling my son’s cell phone money. When he has money to spend he sends messages to his friends especially to his girlfriend. Even being both at school, (of course they don’t date, they’re 9 and 10 years old) and they even barely talk so they send SMS messages. Can you believe this? Of …

Saturday my son received his birthday present (a little late but worth waiting for) from his grandmother and grandfather (my in laws). It was money and together with the money he already had on his piggy he discovered that he could buy what he has been asking for for a long time, and we have been denying for a long …

My son’s birthday is next week and I pop up the question: What do you want has a birthday present? The answer: Ratatoulli PS2 game and go to Disney World. For those living in Europe, like we do, going to Disney World in Orlando – Florida is only in dreams.

I made that comment with my new co-worker and she …
