Insurance Blog Week In Review – April 8 – 14, 2012

Posted on by

What did you miss this week? The Insurance Blog Week in Review is an excellent way to “ketchup” on everything that hit the blog in the past seven days. There can be anywhere between twelve and fourteen different blogs that appear, and it is easy to accidentally miss something that you wanted to read. Green Tree Offer Homeowners and Flood Insurance All in One Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flooding. For that, you need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy. Green Tree Insurance offers a combined homeowners and flood insurance policy. The Insurance Podcast Roundup went up … Continue reading →

Seasonal Getaways for Guys

Not all guys’ weekends during the fall need to revolve around football. After all, there’s still golf. My BFF is a golf widow during the summer months and during autumn she is a woman scorned. Her hubby rationalizes that golfing during the fall is even more critical than in the summer, because it’s just a matter of time before the courses close for the season. Unfortunately, her husband has a point. Fall is one of the best times of the year to score super savings on golf vacation packages. By bundling accommodations, rounds of play and cart rentals, golf addicts … Continue reading →

Book Review: Her Best Catch by Lindi Peterson

I recently had the chance to read “Her Best Catch,” a Christian romance by Lindi Peterson and published by Bell Bridge Books. I enjoyed the story quite a bit. Our main character is Allison Doll, a woman who’s not quite thirty and has all but given up on romance. She’s an auditor by profession, a devoted Christian, and she lives with her mother and grandmother, seeking to support and comfort them after the tragic death of her father. Each of these women is seeking comfort in a different way, and Allison finds her greatest strength in her religious beliefs. When … Continue reading →

FaceBook Game Review: Treasure Quest

If you like relaxing a little bit with a casual game on Facebook but have already built your barn, planted all the roses you care to plant and milked all of the alien cows on Farmville, then you might want something slightly different. Treasure Quest by Big Fish games has an incarnation on Facebook that is worth checking out. Oh no, you think, if you are like me, I really don’t want to blast my friend’s pages with endless requests for materials or guilt them into signing up to play with me. Well, Treasure Quest does no such thing. Instead … Continue reading →

Getting Organized with Mayfair Lane

My struggle is organization. I have a 7th grader, a 5th grader, a Kindergartener, a toddler, one dog, one husband and a home. That is a lot of work by itself but when you add in homeschooling, writing, blogging, writing unit studies, and tackling a mountain of laundry life can seem overwhelming. Homeschooling alone is a full time job. So anything that can help keep me on track, sane and organized catches my eye. However, I also need organizational tools that are easy to find, easy to manage and basically in my face. This is where Mayfair Lane comes into … Continue reading →

Flip Video Ultra Review

Posted on by

I’ve never owned a camcorder before (gasp!). My parents used to have one of those huge ones from the Eighties, and I remember using it a couple of times, but our family was never too big on home videos. Then I got a point-and-shoot camera that could take videos. I thought that was a fun option, but unfortunately it didn’t record sound, so I rarely used the function. What good is a video without sound (sorry Charlie Chaplin)? It only captures part of the action and ambiance. So when my husband came home the other day with a Flip Video … Continue reading →

Media Review: Follow that Bird!

I consider myself a book-lover, frugal, and responsible about other people’s property. Thus it may surprise you that, upon finding and reading a book in the church nursery, I ripped it up. By hand. Into tiny little pieces. I told the nursery director later that I didn’t even want someone to pull it out of the recycling and read it. Perhaps even more surprising is that it was a Sesame Street book. More surprising yet, I set out to review the movie the book was based on, and ending up thinking that it wasn’t that bad, actually enjoyable, with a … Continue reading →

Review: Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga Video Game

When you have an elementary school boy, then chances are pretty good that he is into both Legos and light sabers. Even before seeing the movie, my son was turning paper towel tubes into light sabers. So when we spotted Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga at a local GameStop, I wondered if I would ever get out of the store. Pop-pop came to the rescue, as pop-pops usually do, purchasing the game for number one grandson, along with a few others. Hey, at least they were used and on sale for a buy two get one free day. The … Continue reading →

Get Your Wiggle on at Six Flags

My preschool daughter has never been a huge Wiggles fan. What’s more, she screams like a banchee every time I try to put her on an amusement park ride. And I’m not talking about those baby roller coasters that travel on a flat track, or those crazy toddler swings that spin around with modified reckless abandon. For the past three years my child has unleashed glass shattering, ear splitting, high-pitched shrieks each time I’ve tried to place her on merry-go-round horses (the paralyzed ones that don’t move up and down), baby boats (that barely move in a pool no bigger … Continue reading →

Frugal Month in Review: November 2008

November to be is the beginning of two things. The holiday season starts with Thanksgiving, and then there is winter. Despite the fact that winter doesn’t officially start until next month, the fall seems to give way to the winter in November anyway. We had a day of snow already. Here is looking ahead to December and the end of the year! November 1st Frugal Month in Review: October 2008 “Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” – George Eliot. November 2 … Continue reading →
