The Joys of Impractical Shoes
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Friday, July 03, 2009
On our anniversary yesterday, Dan took me out shopping. He “owed” me some birthday presents from last month (he did not), he said and figured we might as well pick some things out together.
I guess I thrill easily, because my man’s voluntary company on a shopping excursion made me giddy.
And when I picked out these totally impractical shoes, ones I am quite sure will be the cause of my demise when I turn over my ankle in them a thousand different times a thousand different ways, and he said only, “Sure, if you like them,” I knew he loved me.
No wonder I married this man!

Cool Tool for the Supermarket
Posted by Danielle Bean in Homemaking on Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Here’s a simple idea to help make supermarket planning and budgeting easier.
Grocery List Wizard is a handy, free site where you can create a shopping list, automatically list items by grocery aisles where they are found, estimate costs of your purchases, and print a copy to take along with you to the store.
Very handy (and the fact that a Catholic family man is behind this operation comes as no surprise)!
