This post brought to you by AutoAssure. All opinions are 100% mine. We haven’t purchased a car in eight years. We have a 2002 Hyundai Sante Fe and a 2003 Ford Excursion. (How many vehicles seat a family of eight?) The former has over 100,000 miles on it and the...

I was invisible once. For a long time. And I couldn’t figure out how I got that way. I noticed it first when I moved back to the States from Germany, and the ward I was in for the first five months never bothered to learn my name. For five months the young women...

Lifestyle design is the brainchild of Timothy Ferriss of The 4-Hour Workweek. He’s a superuser of the Pareto principle and Parkinson’s Law. He uses geoarbitrage to allow multiple mini-retirements throughout life, instead of the 9:00 to 5:00 until you...

You know I love holidays. Every one is an excuse to celebrate with traditions and family fun. But St. Patrick’s Day is near and dear to me ever-lovin’ ginger-headed heart. Not awash in Irish culture? No problem. It’s easy to make St. Patrick’s...

Social networking is an interesting thing. I’m not sure when we got the idea that everyone would want to know what we are having for breakfast, when we are mad at our husbands, or when we have a cough…but I’ll admit I’m hooked. I’ve really...

Nothing is better on St. Patrick’s Day than a hearty dinner of corned beef and cabbage. It’s fattier than most meals I serve, but we like it once a year to celebrate our Irish heritage. Serve this vegetable rich dinner with Irish soda bread, and...
