The church where I live at, is having their massive annual rummage sale. I mean this thing is 2-storey huge. The kids and I were helping sort out the boxes. The kids were occupied with sorting cars in one box, and I was displaying various stuff. This way, I get first dibs on everything  What [...]

Mega Monday MoneySavers Part II

BL(who writes the most mouth watering blog) in a previous post informed me about Villeroy and Boch dinnerware. I have never heard of it when she wrote that comment so I googled it and hmm it was expensive, $30-40 per dinner plate and a 12 piece setting costs $400-$500.  So imagine my surprise when I walked into [...]
