I have never understood why finding rental homes online is so much more difficult than finding apartments. When we moved out to Flagstaff, AZ we rented several apartments over the course of 2 years. Apartment complexes just don’t make things easy for multiple pet owners and families with kids seldom want to live in an […]

Bleach smells bad so I used it to clean the old home.
We seldom use bleach because of the environmental/ health impacts but had acquired a few large bottles of it some time ago. I don’t like the smell of it and I always seem to mix it with something that I shouldn’t (like cat urine in the litter box or whatever).. I was determined to make […]
Fun with the family.. Video with adult language!
We made my yummy salt roasted chicken for dinner and then made some smores for dessert. Were having some fun before we start the moving process from the one rental to another… Here is a snapshot of our evening, good times! [youtube I90WJeO9RDg Fun with family- video]
Our oven works?? Now what do I do?
It’s been a long and annoying 2 weeks since our stove caught fire and today I am here to report that it appears we can actually use the oven on our new for us/ used stove. Oh, joy. Guess that means I can stop eating large dishes of jello like it’s going out of style […]

My interview by Janelle
I participated in the citizen of the month great interview experiment and totally forgot to post my own interview questions here. It was fun to interview someone and to be interviewed. Janelle over at junk food for the soul interviewed me and thankfully she asked about my interview and reminded me to post it! I […]
Yay the insainty has passed!
Mmmm buttery toast! I am finally sitting down to relax, seems like it’s been the first time in two weeks! I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am so thankful to be so fortunate. I knocked out 45 custom purses and they are on the way to their […]
Salmon on the stove top? :(
Howdy!! Do you know of a creative way to prepare salmon without the microwave or oven? I still only have a working stove top … the oven still doesn’t work and no resolution has been offered yet. We have to be out of here on 24 days anyway so WTF?? It would be nice to […]
When life gives you lemons…
… smash them into a sorry pulp, take some photos and blog about it. Things are crazy right now (that is quite the understatement)… Our living situation saga just keeps getting more and more interesting as the days pass. Back on January 15th 2008 I wrote “You broke your toe? Want to buy a house?” […]
Our stove was on fire!
Yep, you read it right… Our stove caught fire tonight! I baked some chicken breasts in the oven and then turned the stove off. N and I were eating dinner and this repulsive smell was wafting through the house. I mentioned it to N several times over dinner. Eventually the smell got stronger and then […]
The economy and house prices….
Well, today the owners of the place we are renting made us another offer.. You see when we first agreed to rent this place we were in the middle of contract negotiations and we were interested in buying a home but were not finding anything at the right price. We agreed to rent on a […]

We have been home hunting for about a year now and we are still in no position to buy but the reality of the situation is that it’s quickly becoming a buyers market. A buyers market “is one in which there are too many homes on the market for the number of buyers. Homes take […]
