We’ve been puttering around the idea of getting a Magic Jack device for the home. The landline is just TOO expensive. And we really don’t use the telephone a whole lot. I have a hard time seeing why we should be shelling out $60 a month so telemarketers can bombard us with their calls. :-p [...]

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
