About Me

THEN: twenty years ago you would have found us in the attic playing school. jen and jen were of course the teachers. emily and katie humored their older sisters and held on to their every word. NOW: We all became teachers (except for Em, she's the business saavy one.) More importantly Jen and Jen are now mothers of boys.. Lots of boys! Jen W. is in Wisconsin only 4 hours away from her dear sister in Milwaukee (Katie.) Jen K. and Emily are in Nashville house hunting and job hunting. We hope you find our site useful and interesting. If nothing else it is a way for the four of us to stay in touch.

When you buy a pair of TOMS shoes a person in need gets a FREE pair. This company was started because they wanted to help give shoes to children in developing countries shoes.

Cows for sale


Okay you don't actually get to keep the cow because it goes to people that need an animal to become self -reliant. You will not be sorry if you chose to become a part of the Heifer International Organization. They help out people who are truly in need. It is easy to sit in your nice little homes and wish you had bigger and better stuff but when you go to this website you realize how blessed you are.
This is great for a group that want to have a fundraiser. They will send buttons with fun sayings, fliers, and tons of other stuff to help promote the fundraiser.

There is no such thing as too much chocolate

Are there times in your life when you need to bring a dessert but don't have that much time to put something together? Try making a box brownies mix and then adding this glaze. The glaze makes the brownies taste so much better. My favorite brownie mix is the one with Andes mints.

Glaze:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons butter
2tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine chips, butter and syrup in pan over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Spread over brownies.

DSW

I went to DSW to find a good deal on running shoes. I left the store with two cute pairs of shoes but no running shoes. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Travel Zoo!

If you are one of those people who sees a plane flying overhead and thinks "I wish I was on that plane.. wherever it may be going" then this website is for you! TravelZoo.com has a team of travelers dedicated to researching the top 20 deals of the week for travel around the world. It could be a deal for a trendy hotel in NYC or an Egyptian cruise for 12 nights with air. And for those of us not able to have the luxury (or desire) to travel abroad they also have "deals near you" and "last minuet deals" for shows, hotels, restaurants and flights around where you live. Even if I can't afford to actually get any of these deals right now, a girl can dream right??

Take a look for yourself! www.travelzoo.com

Space Saver Tips


Try hanging bags or purses on the back of your doors. This works well in bathrooms with limited space. Bags or large purses are a great place to store curling irons, straighteners, hairdryers ect. The "appliances" are also at easy access behind the door.
