When I was younger, I told everyone in my family that I never wanted to have kids because they were too much trouble. I wanted a life in a career that I loved, and I wasn’t even sure that I wanted to ever get married. As I grew older and went to college, my plan… Continue reading A Cold Bedroom

My feet are always cold! I can remember as a little girl telling my mom that my feet were cold, and she would have me sit by the fireplace to warm up my feet after playing outside or in the cold barn. I have never grown out of having cold feet. It seems like my… Continue reading Warming my Feet

Driving a school bus for a living can be quite challenging at times and rewarding at others. I truly love my job, and I wouldn’t trade it for any other, but there are days that are a bit more difficult than others. Last week, I had several of those more difficult days. The first thing… Continue reading A Hot School Bus

I think, just about everyone knows one of those people that is always cold. I am that person. Ever since I was a child, I have always been the cold one. When everyone else busts out their shorts and t-shirts for the spring/summer, I am still bundled up in a few layers. My mom always… Continue reading Loving My AC

When my husband and I first got married and started looking for a house to buy, my only requests were that the house had a nice, big kitchen and that it had a wood stove .

I recently moved in with a friend from high school. We both graduated college and started our careers, and we both wanted to save money to build our own dream homes. We decided that renting a place together would allow us to save money quicker. We are both pretty passive people, and to be honest,… Continue reading My Air Conditioner Quit

My hubby and I recently moved into a new house. It is so unusual from any home that my pal and I have ever lived in before. The main difference is the fact that it is three stories tall. My buddy and I have only ever lived in ranch type homes. It is different having… Continue reading The attic was so warm that my pal and I had to buy an a/c for it

Our basement is almost always chilly. I know that it is because heat rises, although I just hate that it is chilly down there because that is where the teenagers usually play. I care about that they can have an entire basement worth of space to play in. It is legitimately nice for them. They… Continue reading I bought a new heating system for the basement

My husband is a sweetheart. He is honestly wonderful at listening to what I say even if I don’t realize it. Periodically, I don’t guess that he is listening, but I find out later that he honestly is. I have hinted here and there that I wanted a fireplace for our house, and I did… Continue reading I only have one thing to say about my new fireplace

My husband and I recently moved into a new house. It is so unusual from any condo that my buddy and I have ever lived in before. The main difference is the fact that it is three stories tall. My buddy and I have only ever lived in ranch style homes. It is strange having… Continue reading The attic was so warm that my buddy and I had to buy an a/c for it
