Hi!! Welcome to my blog. :Wave:

Happy to have you here...not sure what you are looking for but what you see is what you get. Heck, I have no idea what I could even blog about that anyone would find interesting but there are lots of things folks watch, read, and listen too that aren't really interesting so what have I got to lose?!?

As for introductions, I am BzyBee and my whole clan is around here somewhere. DH and two kiddos...rapidly turning into real people from the children they used to be.

We coupon and bargain hunt, the kids go to school, DH and I putter around with projects around the house, I work from home, we are debt free except our house, we enjoy our quiet life and family time.

There will be more to come on the above subjects..and probably others. Interesting?? I'll report....you decide.

Where have I been? Posted 06-22-2008 at 02:39:49 PM by BzyBee I wish I could say that my time spent away from HCW was spent fulfilling some lifelong dream or greater purpose. I was in Kenya, working with orphans or building houses with H4H, or even filming an episode of Wife Swap. But no, I just got overwhelmed. My WAH job that supposedly had a 'busy season' Jan. to April is really just busy all the time. By increasing my work hours we are able to pay off our house way before our first kid goes to college and increase our... Continue reading... BzyBee

Friends and far away places... Posted 01-17-2008 at 04:00:30 PM by BzyBee We have moved 6 times over 16 years and while that sounds like a lot the average is decreasing as the years go by. That is a good thing. In each place that we have lived we have developed friendships, but they don't all last, we know they won't. As well as you get to know some folks you just know they won't be friends for life..KWIM?? But the others, the few you know that every time you call it will be like home again, they are the ones I miss over the years and the miles. Perhaps... Continue reading... BzyBee

The Master Bathroom project. Posted 10-16-2007 at 03:12:45 AM by BzyBee We have been working on this for a while and I am finally getting around to posting some pictures. For a little background see this thread, and this one that details the kids bathrooms we did last year. Just to update a bit. We did decide to move the bathroom so this will end up a bathroom, closet and bedroom remodel by the time we are done. The old bathroom will become the new closet with a space for the treadmill (maybe a smaller one). This is the pit we found... Continue reading... BzyBee

It's Only A Quarter Posted 10-10-2007 at 10:08:53 PM by BzyBee 25 cents. Some people wouldn't even pick it up if they saw it in the parking lot yet one little quarter matters at one discount grocery chain. At Aldi's you have to rent your grocery cart for a quarter. When you return the cart to the corral you get your quarter back. What is the big deal? I don't know but I have never yet seen someone leave a cart in the parking lot at Aldi's. No dinged side panels, no carts to dodge while trying to park, no long line of carts blocking me into... Continue reading... BzyBee
