I’ve read in a few sources now that guest posts (posts written by special guests) are a great way to get more readers and interest in a blog. I am, of course, willing to try most anything so I thought I would offer readers an invitation. Do you know something about a...

Why I Paid A Pro To Deal With My Taxes
Two weeks ago, I sat down at my computer with all my paperwork and began my taxes. With four jobs last year, a move, and a retirement account, I was left paying over $400 in federal taxes.

A Bathroom Transformed
Handyman: Handier And Cheaper Than A Plumber
I am the last person who will give someone grief about not being able to be handy around the house, probably because I just learned how to use a drill last year.

I also pointed our that someone who did this for a living may have things like tools and spare parts that we didn’t have.
The “odd jobber” came to our house and put in the sink in about two hours. He was pleasant, showed up on time, and he all the right tools (which helps when doing this sort of work). There were a few runs to the hardware store, Sean being the gofer/eager learner and me being the constant offerer of food and drink. In the end, he did a pretty good job.

Is It Getting Hot In Here Or Are We Playing The Stock Market?
I’m In A Couple That Knows The Meaning Of Romance
