When you look at the girl that you married, does she look blurry to you? Those beautiful blue eyes, are they sharp and clear to you? Perhaps it’s not that you just woke up and maybe you need a new pair of glasses.
Does the Eyeglasses Grinch got you down? Wish that you could get a pair of glasses that could reflect the season? I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Those last glasses I bought were over a hundred dollars! Why would I buy some that I could only wear during the Christmas season? What if I [...]
Christmas is a magical time. For children (and some adults) the highlight is in getting a gift from someone that is something you want that you haven’t purchased beforehand. Each year, as my siblings and I have pretty much grown up and left the house, we have been drawing names for each other. In the [...]
My life with debt has seen its ups and downs. When I got out of college, one of my first big purchases was a used car. It cost me $6,000, for which I took out my first auto-loan. Of course, with little expenses1 and a full time job, I was able to repay the loan [...]
It never ceases to amaze me. How is it that some people can believe that something as complex as the human body could come together without a Designer. Whether it’s the fact that our body is self healing or that it can exist for so long and that it thinks that impresses you, there’s a [...]
Next week we get to find out the sex of child number 5. My wife wants to bake a cake with the frosting color of the cake being blue for boy and pink for girl and then invite my family over and have them guess and then cut the cake! This got me thinking about [...]
In this age of buying things online, I’m not sure why anyone would purchase glasses at the optometrist, besides trying to eat up a Flex Spending Account! I mean, you can get the same quality lenses and eyeglasses online without the hassle—and if you’re worried about trying them on, you can test them at the [...]
I have been a computer geek all of my life. My dad has been a software engineer since back when they took people with math degrees and they called them computer programmers. When I was a kid and had one of those memory books for every grade where you have to put in what you’d [...]
What would you think if I told you that Clark Howard, a money expert many of you have heard on the radio and television, suggested that you save money on eyeglasses and that you specifically that you can save money on discount eyeglasses?
Next week, my kids will start back up their schooling. It’s hard to believe that the oldest will be in 3rd grade! Whew! One of the things that I’ve read and I think is really neat is when you have something fun to kick off the school year. Mary, at Home-Steeped Hope, has a First [...]
Growing old stinks. No, I mean really: The body that doesn’t perform the way that it used to. The wisdom that you have, but not the energy to do it. The amount of work you have to keep the weight off. What was the other one I had? Oh yeah, the memory that you begin [...]
If you’re like me—well, then again you’re probably not anything like me. I mean, when I was just a young thing my mom took me to one of those “learn to swim at the YMCA” things and scared me away from water for life… well, I do take a shower. So, if you’re not like [...]

Costumes can be a lot of fun. My kids always like dressing up as their favorite action heroes, and acting out their favorite adventures. Do you know someone that likes to play dress up? Do you like to find unique costumes to play pretend? What’s neat is that you can find well made costumes all [...]
