Get a receipt October 29, 2009
A lot of people have receipts in their junk drawer. Find a place to keep your receipts. If you may return the item, an envelope in your purse or wallet is a good idea. If you don’t need the receipt again, shred it or if you need to, file the receipt for future reference or tax purposes.
Fix it or forget it October 27, 2009

Music Review: Michael Buble – Crazy Love October 26, 2009
This highly anticipated album from Michael Buble will exceed all of your expectations! His renditions of classics like Heartache Tonight, Georgia on My Mind, and You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You mixed in with his original songs is a great mix of old and new. His music is perfect for a romantic dinner, to clean the house to, or even
a run. It is definitely a pick-me-up to listen to!
Music Review: Brandi Carlisle- Give Up the Ghost October 26, 2009
Brandi Carlisle’s new album Give Up the Ghost is just what you need to shake

songs.
Not sure what to expect? The folk sound of the Indigo Girls with the
strength of Sheryl Crow. Its a complete package and a CD that will soon
become your favorite for driving in the car, relaxing after a long day or
working out.
Do it manually October 25, 2009

Kids toys October 22, 2009
Is your junk drawer filled with kids’ stuff? Ask yourself why these items are not being stored in their room. Chances are, most of it needs your attention or was discarded from their room.
