Shopping. I started learning about shopping very young, tagging along with my mother to the mall. Everything happened at the mall. I remember meeting cast members from the soap opera General Hospital at West Town Mall in Madison, and standing in line to meet Lee Majors, (aka the 6 Million Dollar Man), at Toys r Us at a mall in Milwaukee. Malls were full of adventure, but the actual shopping, well, that wasn’t so magical. [Read more...]

It’s been a week since the largest earthquake ever recorded rocked Japan with a Tsunami chaser.

But you aren’t, not completely. There are a number of ways that you can reach a hand across the water to help the people of Japan. [Read more...]

It is the beginning of the month a particularly tough time for those of us Living with NonCents. Too many bills, and not enough money to go around.

I want you to fight that depression and resist the instinct to revert inward. Instead I want you to reach outward. [Read more...]

Level 11: Miss Lori was compensated for administering this contest or party.
When I went away to New Jersey to shoot my first season with PBS it was supposed to be a 15 day shoot. To go and do the job I left 3 children at home, ages 3, 5 and 8. They were home with their father, a great babysitter, and my mother who spent a lot of time at my home helping out as well. But “Mommy” wasn’t home. That 15 day shoot turned into the better part of 2 months; 12-14 hour days, 6 days a week. [Read more...]
Quaker Oats wants you to CrEATe Your Day
March 2, 2010 By 15 Comments
I started my day with a very happy tummy this morning thanks to Quaker Instant Oatmeal. When I was a kid I used to eat oatmeal all the time. But it was very plain, (and kind of lumpy to tell you the truth). But lately I have gone back to the future. I have been eating oatmeal, but not my mother’s oatmeal, my children’s oatmeal. Oatmeal of the future. What is oatmeal of the future you ask? It’s whatever you want it to be. You get to CrEATe Your Day. The great folks at Quaker Oatmeal want me to think outside the box and get creative with my oatmeal. [Read more...]
