We have been fortunate enough to be members of this credit union for over 7 years now.  We have never been disappointed.  They are always friendly.  They still have face to face service, unlike the new trend to put the tellers behind a video camera and make you talk to them over a phone. I do wish they had 24/7 customer service over the phone, but they are there for 12 hours a da...

We recently purchased this bike used.  It is a 1999 and has just over 85,000 miles on it, but since it is a BMW, we know it's good for at least 3x that.  It rides like it's brand new!  The suspension is adjustable, so when my husband and I ride on it together, we can stiffen it up.  The seat is adjustable, so when he rides, it can be on the lowest setting as he is 6&...

We live under a Home Owner's Association now, so when we got the letter in the mail informing us that we needed to trim our weeds, we realized we weren't going to get away with letting our yard look a bit "shaggy" anymore.  What can I say?  We both despise yardwork and we are from North Dakota living in Texas where it's too hot to go outside so we never see our y...

This is a great helmet!  All of the protective qualities of a full face with the benefits of a 3/4.  When you are riding, lock the chin bar down in position.  When you stop, you can lift it up to talk and cool off your face.  The face shield still raises and lowers in addition to the chin bar to give maximum flexibility.   There is only one button to press to raise...

When my husband and I started thinking about adding a third child to our family, we also started thinking about what we were driving and the fact that my Jeep would not fit another car seat.  So, we set off to see what the market held in terms of vehicles.We drove a number of vehicles over the course of a week.  We drove everything we could think of that would fit my husband.  Di...

We were in the process of moving from CO to TX.  My husband had to move first so we found him an apt and were there for a couple of days getting him settled when my daughter woke up a 2am and was incredibly warm to the touch.  I had nothing, so I had to go to the store for a thermometer and some medicine for her.  Thankfully, there was a 24 hr Walgreens just down the street, so o...

We've owned a few treadmills and each of them ended up dying quickly.  When my knees started to bug me, then we started to think about getting an elliptical.  We wanted to invest wisely this time so that we wouldn't need to purchase a new one 6 mos down the road.  We talked with the salesperson about our concerns and he recommended the Precor EFX 5.23.We are really enjoyi...

My husband has been bugging me to get a pda/cell phone since they came out with them.  My excuse was always that they didn't come in red as I didn't want to spend the money and since they didn't come in red - he had no argument and would drop the subject.  Well, then they came out with the Palm Centro - in red.  I had been thinking about getting one anyways since my s...

reclinesMy kids love riding in a stroller.  When my first jogger got a flat tire, instead of buying cheap off Craigslist again, I decided to look and see if they had anything new out there that wasn't as expensive as the BOB stroller.  I found the perfect stroller at One Step Ahead.  I knew I wanted a front tire that swivelled, cupholders, a sun shade for the kids and underne...

We have two kids that are 19 mos apart in age.  Our oldest is 2.5 and she has always been very cautious.  We never needed to do all that child-proofing with her when we moved in our new house because we knew she just wouldn't try it.  Our youngest child will be 1 on May 17.  She is another story.When she was 8mos old and just really getting good at pulling up to standing...

Our old toaster oven was broken in our latest move, so we found ourselves looking for a new one.  We went to Target because we love that store, and took a look at what they had.  My favorite color is red, so my eye was immediately drawn to the Oster Inspire 6 slice toaster oven because it came in a lovely shade of red.We took a look at the features and decided it would do what we need...

Our 2.5 yr old loves sitting at a table and coloring.  We bought the Ikea Latt table and chairs and needed a couple more chairs to go with it because we babysit two little boys from time to time.  We got two of these stools.As is the case with most things purchased at Ikea, they required assembly.  It was quite simple though, the legs just needed to be snapped into the seat. ...

Febreeze Allergen Reducer is a spray made by Febreeze.  It says it will reduce the effects of allergies, and when I went to stay at my parents' house with their 2 cats as well as my sisters' 2 dogs and cat, my mother in law bought a bottle for me.  She had no idea whether or not it would do anything, but I needed all the help I could get.I wasn't there for very long when m...
