I can be a shy person myself, but the thrill of a good deal keeps me haggling. I always haggle at our huge local consignment sales. I walked away from one lady who wouldn't go lower than $60 for used clothes. I could tell my low-ball offers offended her. Oh well. At least I didn't "ruin her family's livelihood" like I would have in another country! Shopping Tips: How & When to Haggle |

I scoured online, but everything was out of my price range. Then I stumbled on my local sheep and wool festival. It only happens once a year, but there was so much seleciton. I got a high quality pelt for a faction of the price. The farmers gave me great advice on how to care for it as well. It's worth waiting for! How To Shop For a Sheepskin Rug? Good Questions |

I found it uncomfortable to sit upright and nurse in a rocker. I much preferred to lounge on a comfy chair, sofa, or spare bed. There are so many good nursing positions. I feel like a rocker limits what I can do. Is a Glider or Rocker a Nursery Necessity? Nesting a Nursery |

My husband is very decided in what he likes and does not like. I was not expecting that when we got married. Right now our condo has bare walls because we can't agree about window coverings or decorations. Though--Victory!--we have a wall color.

As a Siberian dwarf hamster owner, these little guys are incredibly cute. But like any hamster, they are messy, will poo on everything in the cage, and are master Houdini's.
