Given the recent events, mainly the pandemic, not everyone has had the best time regarding their financial situation.

People are out of work, and they are looking for ways to create a source of income before things get even worse.

I’m so excited that there is hope on the horizon and we are seeing vaccines being administered!  That means that our time of quarantining and isolating won’t last much longer.  There is less than a month until Valentine’s Day though and the love in the air is thicker than the Covid 😉  We’ll still be celebrating at home, and the quality of our evening will not be diminished thanks to the French Blue Wine in our glasses.

If you feel like you have been stuck in a rut at work, you might think that it is time to search for another job and start again. However, instead of returning to a blank slate and working your way up the ladder, it might be time to pay attention to your career objectives and work out whether or not you are doing the best you could be, to help you advance your prospects.

Will you be shopping with cash or credit this holiday? The coronavirus pandemic will likely sway your decision, according to a new survey by Accenture.

The 14th annual Holiday Shopping Survey polled 1,500 U.S. consumers about their holiday shopping plans, and a whopping 61 percent reported they want to reduce in-store shopping to limit the health risks to retail workers.

If you are shopping for new suspension for your truck, you may see that you can choose between suspension kits and lift kits. In some cases, you may also see suspension lift kits.

If you’re entering into the golden years and considering downsizing, you’re not alone. According to research from Bankrate, a projected 10 million retirees will downsize over the next decade

Today was one of those mornings that my coffee needed coffee!  I definitely wanted to trade my mindless grab-and-go for something more magical.  A few weeks ago I received a package from the coffee delivery service, Amora Coffee.

We sometimes lose people, and not always because of fights, acrimonious relationships, or bitter feuds. While most families have patches of history they’d rather tiptoe around, there are many other instances where family members simply lose touch.

Tracking absent branches of your family tree can be a challenge in more ways than the obvious challenge of picking your way along a cold trail. Tread carefully around sensitive family secrets such as adoption situations or other taboo subjects, and do consider that perhaps cousin Hilda dropped out of sight for a reason.

Specific fears that drivers share are potential breakdowns or involvement in an accident. Some of those feelings have a basis in the notion of abandonment in unfamiliar territory where there may be little traffic to offer help. Paying close attention to maintenance requirements associated with the car, not to mention being safe and conscientious behind the wheel, can help minimize these situations.

All y’all!  I know you are busy, busy doing ALL the homemaking things right now.  Busting out the sewing machine and mixers, making masks and baking bread.  Yep, me too.  And if you have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer like me, you may also be missing your speed control knob because it broke (insert sad face here!).
