Knock, knock... don't worry, it's just housekeeping! I have a couple quick things to share with you...

It has been awhile since I have done a giveaway for our site. I am happy to announce that I am giving away a lifetime membership to PearBudget, an amazing new website where you can track your family finances. Don't worry- you don't even have to give them access to your bank account. This is just a simple straightforward budget sheet that you can use to track your expenses. Head over there by Wednesday and leave me a comment (entries that are left here cannot be included).

While you are over there, you can see our latest review on the Sony HDR-SR10 Camcorder! You have not lived until you have zoomed into your cat's nose and watched it in high definition. Yes, this is the first project that my husband did with it...you know, just to see if the zoom was really that awesome. And it was. But...the cat's nose? Boys!
