Driver Survival Gift Basket
I’m bringing back an older post because I love this one so much – this “driver survival” gift basket kit combines practical with thoughtful and always goes over well, particularly with new drivers! “What do you want for Christmas?” I inquired. “Uh, I dunno – sweatpants?” he responded. I was the third person who had received this response, too. sighs I’m sure everyone has THAT person. The one who is impossible to shop for.

I recently bought some lovely new patio furniture in myrtle beach so I decided that my old outdoor chairs needed a revamp too. If you are like me, you are loath to replace something with life in it just because it’s looking…

The Perils of Moving
Over the past few days I’ve written no less than a dozen posts. In my head. Where they should safely stay, as it has been a crazy week and I am prone to a good rant when I am frustrated. You see, this week, I have been moving into a new house. I spent so long deciding where to move to. I toyed with the idea of Canada, London and I even had a look at Egypt property for sale. I’m really happy with the property I’ve chosen but that’s not to say that the move hasn’t been stressful. And I can tell you, moving is perilous. First of all,…
