What: Baking from scratch versus buying from the store Why: Baking from scratch may seem like a chore for some. When time is hard to come by, baking a batch of cookies for the office may not be the first thing on the list to do. Though pre-packaged food is not wrong nor am I going…
Saving money is always a hot topic; no matter what generation you represent. Especially in the starting of a new year, budgets are looked at, wallets seem a little more empty after the holidays, and credit card bills seem to have more and more numbers in them. In an earlier post I mentioned that the…
The garage. A dreaded space to even look at, at times, isn’t it? For some, parking in their garage is not an option because they have boxes and boxes of STUFF, filling every nook and cranny. Trying to find a certain item, is a hopeless cause – it just isn’t going to happen. Walking into…
What: Candles and Air Fresheners Why: Homemade Apple Pie. Fresh Laundry. Tahiti Sunset. You name it. There is a candle scent for EVERYTHING. Candles “liven” up a room, can create a mood, and are a great way to cover up those “unnatural” smells in life. Yet, I find myself having SO MANY candles. And you may…
I recently talked about my fool-proof way to never forget to buy, do, or go to something – and it’s all in a sticky note. Well what else do I use a sticky note for? Not only for daily reminders, but to maximize my days. I am a do-er. If I can cross something off…

Great post. I have an iPad which I love. It replaced my laptop when it died. I work at home & my job provides the work PC. I have a cell phone but don't have a smartphone. I'm tethered to my computer all day so I like being away from it when I'm out & about.
I like this! Being able to step away IS a beautiful thing!
I love having a smartphone and it would be hard to live without once you get used to it but it is a convenience not a necessity. I moved up from a tracfone a year ago but still don't have a regular data plan. I mostly rely on wifi. So much is spent on expensive plans and high end phones.
The biggest negative I see is the distraction they are when with other people. Way too easy to keep checking phones or messing with them instead of spending time together.
That is exactly how I feel – once you get one, it would be hard to go back :). I agree too, that they can be a distraction – but I realize that even with my tracfone, I can easily pick it up and text someone, when with other people. It's a reality check and it's always something to think about! Thanks for sharing!
