Staycation - a Vacation You Can Afford to Take Every Day

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:56:04 GMT

Have you heard the new buzzword?

"Staycation”

It seems to be popping up everywhere: on TV, on the radio, even online. A staycation is vacation that you take at home. It offers families a chance to play, relax, and spend quality time together, without the stress and cost of a “traditional” out-of-town vacation. A vacation at home? At first it may seem a little...

Direct Selling is Hotter than Ever

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:11:45 GMT

I love being a member of a profession that dates back to early 1900’s.

That means that at least 8% of the U.S. population...

On February 12, SimplyFun celebrated National Pancake Day (our hats off to IHOP for promulgating this worthy holiday).

Only 22 days to Thanksgiving, 55 days to Christmas and 62 days to New Years, (and 119 days till I turn 50!)

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 11:02:06 GMT

The holidays are upon us in full force. I love this time of year. Everyone in my neighborhood has some kind of fall festive d�cor up including pumpkins, yellow mum plants, and even the trees are cooperating with a full array of colorful orange, red and green leaves. I love the smell of freshly baked pumpkin bread, mulled cider, caramel popcorn, holiday fresh cut trees, cinnamon and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. And, I dislike the time spent at crowded shopping malls, time spent...

The Chili Recipe

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:47:54 GMT

Summer has finally arrived in Seattle. We can almost be guaranteed that the weather will turn nice right after July 4th and stay that way through September. My tweenagers could hardly wait for our community swimming pool to open, to hang out with their friends, and most importantly, to sleep in. Summer brings to mind memories of barbecues, road trips, camping, fun in the water and July 4th celebrations. Independence Day. I look forward to this patriotic celebration every year. It is one...
