You know the internet? Where we spend a lot of our time doing all sorts of things we were probably better off without? Or at least I do! Admitted, I have my 5 (more or less) regular sites that I read daily but once in a while, the internet takes me places I have never […]
Save Something for a Rainy Day
I worry too much. Give me something that I know will happen in the near future – projects, events, what to do with the kids during the looong school holidays, etc. – and I directly start to worry and plan around it. Dear Husband says it is annoying and unnecessary but I think he loves […]
What’s for dinner 4
Another week has flown by. Is it just me, or does time tend to speed up the older I get? Anyway, the week was nice and hopefully the one to come will be as well, and that is what really matters the most. The second week of February will contain all the usual plus the […]
Sewing and Other Long Lost Talents
When I was about 13 I went to a sewing club activity with a very good friend an afternoon a week. I don’t remember much of what we did but I remember that I enjoyed it. At least I learned how to tread and use the machine which is useful I guess. I come from […]
The Monthly Breakdown – January 2014
Truth? I have putting off this post all day. Why? Because looking at your own spending is really not that fun and even more not fun when having over spent! After having procrastinated all day, I am finally sitting down in front of the computer and having Ben & Jerry by my side, I […]
What’s for dinner 3
Like any other Saturday, a week has passed at the next one is just about to start. In Israel, that is. Everywhere else in the world you still have half your weekend left to enjoy. For our sake the coming week is supposed to be regular and without special events. Planned is the word, because […]
Sports, diets and budgets
I have never been a very sporty person and although I played basketball as a teenager for a few years, I have to admit that I was never very good. My only advantage was that around the age of 12, I was taller than everyone else but soon the whole world started to grow as […]
Saving in Ikea
Today Dear Husband and I went to Ikea to get a frame for a new poster. You may not know this about me, but I LOVE Ikea. I think it is something about childhood memories and the fact that it looks exactly the same everywhere so that you can play pretend for a few hours […]
What’s for dinner 2
My initial plan was (and still is) to have our food plan as a weekly feature on the blog but then life happens and plans change and I missed a week! I believe though, that the best way to continue is simply to carry on from where we left of, even if it not according […]
A Nice Cup of Tea
There is something really nice about a cup of tea and it brings with it a lot of associations: cake, a good book, cuddling up while it is raining outside, etc. Truth, I live in a country where it is warm most of the time, but still we drink a lot of tea, both hot […]
