Going to Disney World is expensive. Sure, there are ways to do without spending quite as much money, but it is still an expensive vacation. What can you do to help ease the cost on the things that you actually have control over?

This time of yeardoing home renovations is the last thing on my mind. I don't want all my decorations getting dusty. And this is the only time of year that I feel my house looks "finished" or company worthy. Thinking about home renovations is another story. Let's look back on the list I posted last year and see how much of it has been done.

Oh it is that time of year, where the winter snow and ice storms threaten to knock out power and close roads. As a storm is bearing down upon us right now, I have this on my mind. What do you do to prepare in advance? Here is my list. Note that this is by no means an exhaustive list. Think of it as a jumping off place for your own preparations. I mean, you may like beer in place of wine, I don't know.

Disney World.

Denise asked me to write a post about the one thing that I am planning to do this holiday season even if I do nothing else. I have been thinking about it ever since. Maybe I could say that this year I would finally donate my time to serve a holiday dinner at the soup kitchen. And get my children involved. Or maybe I could say that this year we are going to have a completely green Christmas. And I don't mean the color of my tree. Except that would be lying.
