I recently got a facebook message from my cousin asking if I’d mailed a check for something I had purchased from her shop when we were visiting out of town. I said, of course I had mailed it! I mean, I’m organized. I remember writing the check and setting it in the ‘to be mailed’ [...]

It’s that time of year again…kids consignment sales are popping up all around my neck of the woods. I love these sales because it means that I can get clothes, books & toys for my daughter at a fraction of the retail prices in usually nearly new condition.  And it means my clients can clear [...]

5 simple rules for kids clothing….

[ 3 ] March 7, 2011

My 9 year old daughter has a unique fashion sense. Always has. She’s also quite opinionated and, dare I say, obstinate? This has been going on since pretty much forever and we often butt heads over things. There’s some stuff I’m quite strict on: manners, food and kindness. But others, not so much. One of [...]

Test driving the Brother P-Touch 1290 label maker

[ 1 ] October 4, 2010

I’ve had my Brother P-Touch 1280 label maker for a long time, and it’s been great.  So Brother asks me if I’d like to give the 1290 a go.  Hmmm, let me think . . . yeah!  You know I love my label maker (see my earlier post about why and what to look for [...]

My computer was possessed by the letter "h" . . . lessons learned.

[ 3 ] August 18, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, my computer became possessed by the letter “h”.  It started out occasionally typing an “h” randomly while I was working and then began doing it more frequently.  It got to the point where I couldn’t backspace fast enough, log into anything that required a password, and it changed the name [...]
