You can tell that it is summertime in Alaska when there are more RVs than cars on the highways. I’m serious. They line the highways day and night for at least 2-3 months around here. Whenever I see these homes on wheels filling up with gas at the gas station, I want to cringe. I can’t imagine how much it costs to fill up a huge RV tank with the high cost of gas these days. But I’m guessing it rivals my house payment! When you’re ...

New Bedroom Bedding Commitment Phobia

(As long as the color still matches the walls!) I have been searching magazines for inspiration, shopping online and in the stores, but have had no luck finding the perfect new look for my bedroom. Zebra fans will be happy to learn that there are entire comforter ensembles with the ...
