Unlike many marketers today, I have one Facebook account. All my personal and business contacts are rolled into one, so I don’t have to keep logging in & out to check each one. As a result, I sometimes miss the comings & goings on in the lives of people I really know, so occasionally I [...]

Since making the switch to almost no paper for personal use (more to come on that in other posts!) I understand why women used to iron everything. I am used to ironing shirts, pants, and dresses, and have even ironed a few tablecloths in my day. But ironing hankies is a tedious task, especially considering [...]

There are certain subjects the genteel class do not discuss, but I happen to come from somewhat coarser stock. I am one of those who wonders aloud at the whys and wherefores, and just HAVE to know the answers. I know for a fact that I am not alone, that there are others in this [...]

I’m glad to be getting rid of these Leopard Geckos. Daughter #4 couldn’t afford to keep them, so they made the trek with her from Tennessee to our home in Georgia.

Compact Florescent Light bulbs can be found in many homes today. While the initial cost can be high, the cost savings over time will be reflected in not having to replace them every few months and in lower utility bills. When we bought our home, we splurged & bought them for every fixture in the [...]

I have long said that those dates stamped on all of our grocery products are only a guideline, not an absolute date of when to throw something out. If it looks, smells, & tastes good, then This Slate Magazine article helps take the mystery out of expiration dates. http://www.slate.com/id/2244249/

I’ve been taking sometime to help hubby with our new business blog, ChaffieCooper.com. Mostly, I’ve been writing content for this site and working on some things for our marketing team. We’ve also had some recent developments in our primary business opportunities – changes for the better! – that have had me tweaking marketing strategy.

My friend Jiggy, known to school friends as Jenn, has been battling a host of health issues over the past two years. We have banded together with countless others in praying for this dear lady. Those prayers are now being answered!

We have just bought a house. It’s beautiful, with not much cosmetic work to do before we move in. For a 13 year old house that has been vacant for two years, it’s in remarkably good shape. With a little decorating and some planning to make it more energy efficient, this is going to be [...]
