Sometimes I believe I have the jinx. Most of the appliances here at home need some repair and I just blew a couple of bucks for the repair of our washing machine and rice cooker a couple of days ago.
Im keeping an eye on our ref as it may need maintenance too. Once the light [...]

Sometimes, given that we don’t own a piece of land yet, I want to give in and get one of those mobile homes I see in movies. I thought they are more like trailer vans (big ones) but I was wrong. These are real houses made in factories that are transported to customers when they [...]

Almost a year into being on our own, we realized we don’t have any home improvement tools – even screwdrivers in a kit. What would have been a painless and short replacement of a lost faucet thread had to be a prolonged wait for a plumber to fix, which he did, in less that 10 [...]

I am a night owl – a nocturnal being. While I would like to believe that is because of choice, I have to admit that because of work, I am forced to stay awake at night so I can get more deals. What can I say, money is hard these days. And then it becomes [...]

I am now lead to believe I might have a domesticated bone in my body, after all. I have been obsessed with finding nice things for the house lately. Remember my goals? Aside for saving this year, I really want to make our house a home too. I want to challenge myself that I can [...]

I have been itching to redecorate our house. We are decided to splurge (wisely) on new furniture – mainly shelves, beds and study tables for the kids and a workstation for me and the husband. I just know we need to have individual spaces. All our knick knacks are also disorganized I have a hard [...]
