What’s the best family Christmas gift you’ve ever received? Hands down the best gift I ever received was the biggest surprise too. My daughter couldn't walk for 5 years and she surprised me 10 years ago by walking across the living room. At first I felt like I thought I was hallucinating and...

What are you going to do this weekend? I started mine with wrestling with the pool cleaner hose. It is a constant battle with that thing but I've been so proud of myself being a single woman buying parts and replacing for $50 instead of close to $400 for a new machine. I got a much needed...
