Thanks Martha!

Finally! A solution to something that I find incredibly irritating. Growing up my mother taught me to cook and to do laundry, but somewhere along the way I missed the lesson on folding fitted sheets. They would just sit there in a jumbled mess on the shelf despite my best efforts.


Recently, I received my daily tip from Martha Stewart.com which included instructions on how to fold a fitted sheet. It took a little practice but it is incredibly easy once I figured it out.

Cruisin' into Spring!

We had so much fun on our cruise last December that we just booked another one for next month. This time we're headed to Cozumel. In an economy were most people can't justify taking a vacation, we have found cruises to be such a great value. A five day vacation for two is costing us around $300 per person and that includes all our meals. If you break it down, that's $25 per week for three months. If you search hard enough there is a vacation out there that fits everyone's budget. I'll blog more about budget vacations later. 

P.S. Wouldn't this Kate Spade clutch be perfect for the trip?
