Someone New to Love

By
Introducing... my newest grandson, Damien!


Babies epitomize maximum gratitude and minimal stuff.  They come to us with nothing but themselves, yet we are thrilled to welcome them.


My daughter is well, despite some last minute complications.  My son-in-law continues to be a kind and supportive husband and father, and my favorite little boy, my grandson Elliot, is excited to be Damien's big brother.  Love seems to fill all our hearts and overflow with thanksgiving for the new member of our family.





Damien is satisfied with so little.  


What he really wants is Mama's milk, a clean diaper, a warm blanket, and enfolding arms.


Along with his car seat, a cradle, onesies, swaddling cloths, booties, a cap for his head, a baby wrap, and maybe some diaper cream, his basic needs will be met for the first few months.  Just add smiling faces, quiet words and songs, cuddling and kisses, and you've covered the essentials!


What are our essentials... really?

Everyone benefits from a hobby or two.  Hobbies reduce stress by letting you spend time on something you enjoy provide scope for creativity and imagination make you more knowledgeable and interesting help you develop patience and skills improve your sense of accomplishment and self-esteem promote mindfulness and concentration can create a social life and let you bond with others who share your interests can allow you to stay active and physically healthy I've known people with entire rooms dedicated to their hobby – studios for painting and pottery, sewing rooms, woodworking sheds, and basements filled with wine-making apparatus or a model train setup. But even if you live in a small space, like my husband and I do, or you want to pursue hobbies that require less equipment and expense, you're in luck.  Many hobbies take a lot of space and tools, but many do not, and you can probably find one of those that you'll enjoy. There are some tricks to making a hobby work in a small...

14 Mistakes that Make Your House Smaller than It Has to Be

I lived in five different houses before I went away to college at age 17.  That's a move every three to four years, each time for a slightly larger house.  My mom never felt we had enough space, enough closets, a big enough kitchen, a large enough yard. Her feelings weren't unusual then (the 1960s and 70s), and they're even more common now.  The average home size has grown from 983 square feet in 1950 to almost 2,200 square feet today.  Families are smaller, but we seem to need more personal space.  Or at least we think we do. There are some things a lot of us do that make our homes feel smaller.  I think we can be happy with less square footage if we learn to make our spaces look and feel larger.  Read on for my best tips. 14 errors that make your home feel small, and how to fix them 1.  Shoes If your entry hall hosts a pile of shoes, that's what greets you every time you come in.  Not only does it look like a mess, but it makes the entry f...

The 3 Expenses that Matter Most

Back in 1906, an Italian economist named Vilfredo Pareto noticed that just 20% of the population of Italy owned 80% of the land. That makes sense.  Few people are rich, and they're the ones who own most of the stuff.  So, Romanian-American management consultant Joseph Juran developed the concept further, by observing that 80% of results come from 20% of causes .  For example: In 1988, the New York Times reported that about 80% of video rental revenues came from just 20% of the stock. Microsoft has noted that 80% of crashes can be prevented by fixing 20% of the most-reported errors. 20% of the best professional baseball players account for 80% of total wins. Studies show that approximately 80% of healthcare expenses accrue to 20% of patients. The frequency of words used in most languages, the size of cities, the magnitude of earthquakes, and even the intensity of solar flares all follow similar distributions. If the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule, shows up in so many...

The Surprising Benefits of Being a Homebody

By

One of the best ways I've found to save money and live within a budget is to learn to enjoy staying home.   I know that not all of us live in the dream home we imagined when we were young, or the ones we collect images of on Pinterest.  I live in a small apartment, not the cozy cottage in the forest I might wish for.  But making the most of home and the time we spend there can make a huge difference to our spending and saving patterns.  Becoming a frugal homebody might be the best way to live within our means and stay out of debt. Why stay home? Obviously, staying home saves on gas, but it also rescues us from a multitude of temptations.  The minute we leave home, most of us are hit with marketing.  I only need to walk a couple of blocks west to arrive at a small shopping area with a convenience store, a Mexican restaurant, and a consignment shop.  If I drive about a half-mile further, I reach Highway 99, and turning north I see billboards and sho...
