4th of July Picnic Ideas

June 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

June will be over in a jiffy, which means that my American and Canadian readers are scrambling to prepare for 4th of July and Canada Day. If you’re planning a picnic or backyard BBQ, I have some ideas to get you started. And if you don’t live in the United States or Canada, don’t worry because these suggestions will work for any outdoor party. Just swap out some of the red, white, and blue (or white and red for Canadian readers) for other colors.

Last weekend, Anne (one of my sisters-in-law) threw an early Independence Day party for family and friends. Mr. Handsome and I were unable to attend, but we loved seeing pictures. Anne has a knack for party planning, so she went all out. There was a particular reason that she hosted the party a couple weeks before July 4th, but I’ll share that in my next post. Hope these suggestions are helpful as you plan your outdoor gatherings. …

While planning meals for the week, I decided to try a few new recipes. I’ll admit that Mr. Handsome was a bit nervous when he heard, but he has been pleased with the results so far. Two nights ago, I experimented with potato soup, and we both loved it. Picture a loaded baked potato in…

On our trip to Hawaii’s Big Island, we stayed in a vacation village called Waikoloa Beach Resort, located on the west side of the island, about 30 minutes north of the town of Kailua-Kona. Most tourists book hotels and condos on the west side because it has the best beaches and the driest weather. The…

Shared Cell Phone Wrap-Up

June 6, 2018 32 Comments

Over the weekend, we posted a video explaining Mr. Handsome’s idea of a shared cell phone. Many of you responded, so we thought we would do a wrap-up video (embedded below) revealing the results of the poll. Mr. Handsome also has another “interesting” idea for saving money. I want to apologize in advance for the…

Shared Cell Phone? What Do You Think?

Yesterday morning, Mr. Handsome and I stopped by the Verizon store to purchase a new smart phone for him. He wasn’t so thrilled about the monthly price tag, so he came up with a “solution.” Check out our video below, and let me know in the comments section what you think of his proposal. I’m…

In celebration of my new website, I’m hosting a summer-themed giveaway! I was at Kohl’s this morning returning a few bathing suits that didn’t fit Mr. Handsome–due to his height, it’s a challenge to find swim trunks that are long enough. While I was walking through the store, I happened upon a section of metal…

Being the avid fisherman that he is, when Mr. Handsome heard that Kona, Hawaii, is known for fishing, he just had to give it a try. We attempted to go bank fishing, but then we learned that shoreline fish in the Hawaiian Islands can contain a bacteria that causes a type of food poisoning, called…
