It's how it always happens. Even though you have the best of intentions and create umpteen lists for the umpteen meeeeeellion people on your list, you still have changes to that gift list ... and your still searching for the "perfect" gift even when you're shopping on borrowed time. And then your borrowed time is exceptionally limited, so the fun shopping turns into stressful-must-find-perfect-gift time that isn't so fun anymore, right? It's not just me, right? Anyway, that's when I start … [Read more...]

Back when the boys were little, I did quite a bit of selling on eBay. I'd become a diaper bag collector and found there was a huge resell market (being honest... I only found that because I was always so interested in buying.) Well, buying and buying led to selling and, pretty soon, I learned how to sell bags, clothes and movies, CDs... Not only did I learn all of that, but I started to get good at it. It becomes sort of old-hat. The more you do, the better you do. And with each sale you realize … [Read more...]

Mother’s Day Memories with a $100 @eBay giveaway

April 25, 2012 by

Last May, my son quizzed me on my favorite cereals. He asked how I like my coffee. If there's a special fruit I like to eat for breakfast. I recall laughing, after all, when do I have time to make more than a quick bowl of cereal? Fruit?! Rarely. That Sunday morning, I awoke to whispering as my husband quietly closed the door to our bedroom, signalling me to stay in bed. So I stayed. For 30 minutes twiddling my thumbs as I was supposed to be sleeping.  Finally, I heard tiny footsteps coming up … [Read more...]
