Good Thing I’m Not a Coffee Drinker

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 12, 2008
I don’t drink cof­fee.  In fact, I have never, in all my 44 years, had a cup of cof­fee.  Why?  I don’t know.  I guess because I hate the smell. No mat­ter my orig­i­nal rea­sons for eschew­ing Java, the list of ben­e­fits just increased from two to three. We all know about the “Latte fac­tor.”  I’m not inclined to [...]

Someone Pinch Me!

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 4, 2008

8 Things I Don’t Buy (a new meme maybe?)

By Suburban Wife | Published: April 24, 2008
I spend a lot of time on this blog enu­mer­at­ing the things I spend money on.  In fact, that’s its main intent and pur­pose of this blog — a daily account­ing of my expenditures. I think you can learn a lot about a per­son and a fam­ily sim­ply by look­ing at how they spend their money. In the same [...]
