Poll Results: Do You Take Reusable Bags to the Grocery Store?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again . . . I hate those little plastic grocery bags.  I can’t stand how they accumulate in my house.  It drives me nuts that I put them in my van so that I’ll take them to the store to recycle, but forget to take them inside and […]

Burning Question: Do You Buy Souvenirs?

My friend and I were having a discussion the other day and I disagreed with her.  When she takes her kids places she always buys them a souvenir. 
Last year she took the family to Disney on Ice.  The tickets alone cost her more than $100.  Then she bought each child a souvenir and I think […]
