I think almost every woman I know is pregnant.  Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but several of my friends are expecting babies.  With babies come baby showers (and oohing and aahing over tiny clothes and gadgets).  Printing off a baby registry list and walking the aisles of Babies R Us can be a daunting and expensive [...]

Packing Lunch to Save Money

February 25, 2011

I have the luxury of being able to go home for lunch most days.  On my way to and from work, I see crowds of people going to the different restaurants around my office.  I also see a lot of people waiting for their takeout orders.  Even before I could walk home for lunch, I [...]
