My in-laws Tony’s parents arrived yesterday, and they’re staying with us until Wednesday morning. (I hate the term “in-laws,” don’t you? It just sounds so cold.) I don’t know about you, but whenever people come to visit I struggle to avoid falling back into my old spendthrift habits. For some reason, I still feel like [...]

This weekend, my husband’s parents are coming to visit. We’re excited to see them and spend some time with them, but I must admit I’m feeling a little unprepared for the visit. Because we were out of town last weekend, we didn’t get a chance to do a lot of the errands and chores we [...]

photo by yoniamir As much as I love the holidays, I breathe a sigh of relief when Christmas is over. This year I managed to escape the pressure to spend a ton of money on gifts and entertaining.
