Cleaning the Inbox
Oh what a distracted web we weave...when we sign up for every newsletter! I've been so guilty of this lately. I got into this horrid mindset that I didn't want to miss anything. Can't miss out on the latest and greatest so-and-so released. YES, I CAN! This isn't close to the first time I've had to do major inbox weeding. I won't kid [...]
Pen to Paper
Last week was our spring break and I did the unthinkable. I unplugged and didn't even bring my laptop to my in-laws. I confess I logged on to their computer once and answered an email. But it was only a 3 sentence reply. Oh I also returned 1 text and checked voicemail once. But that was it in 4 days! The latter 2 were work related and they [...]
Plan Your Vacations
I never had vacations until 2 years ago. Hubby worked construction and wasn't paid unless he worked. It just didn't happen. Now that he has paid vacations it's a whole new ball game and so many things have changed. We used to try and get away at least once a year without the kids for a weekend. But now that the kids are getting older we are [...]
Getting Ready for Vacation
I still have 10 days left until we leave on vacation, however, I am not going to work on anything constructive for the 8 days I runaway with hubby. lol I will check emails here and there and make some quick answers, but I will be mostly away from the computer. It will be very good for me to step away from the day-to-day of owning [...]
Vacation Time?
I'm trying to work out a new time frame in my head. Well actually, I'm trying to keep track of how many months I can go before burn out sets in. That will of course depend on a lot of variables, but I'm thinking two vacations a year is a minimum. Now I'm not shooting for the moon and saying Hawaii and Mexico twice a year. Not yet anyway ;) But [...]
Thinking of Vacation
Our holidays have been truly great. Even though we did scale back on Christmas like we said we would (umm, yes we've tried to before, lol) the kids had the best year ever. My worry is always that they will be disappointed, I'm sure this is every parents worry no matter how much they buy for their kids. Ugh, what a society we've created. But [...]
Vacation is a must
Going where it's warm is top priority for us on vacation. If we are flying out, it just depends on the money situation to whether we can go to Jamaica or a Vegas vacations. As long as the snow stays away we are totally happy with Vegas until we make a good chunk of extra money and can run away for a week down farther south. Taking vacations [...]
Speaking of Canada
Again, I'm excited to go on vacation considering how much work I can take with me now. Last year when I took vacation I was mostly working offline and I didn't make enough money to pay my bills. But boy did we have fun! It's only a few weeks until we leave and I still haven't gotten our passports. I've heard that at this time they aren't [...]
