For me, this is an easy question. I am a Jeopardy fan especially when it is teen week (which is about the only time I know a good number of answers). For me, I choose Jeopardy for several reason. First, it makes you use your brain. On that show, being smart is a good thing. You don’t see people having to do stupid stunts to be able to make money. I also have a family connection to it. As a kid, we actually played this as a family. My mom would keep score, and we would see who did the best every day. It’s those kinds of memories that make me love the show even more. My kids are too little to watch Jeopardy, but I hope when they get older that I can play against them too.
Now, I am a Press Your Luck fan too. Who can resist the Whammy guys?
What’s your favorite game show and why?

Of all our modern conveniences that we have, what can’t you live without? In my house, it would have to be disposable diapers and cell phones. My son, aka the pooping machine, has so many dirty diapers a day that I would seriously go insane if I had to wash all those. Seriously, the kid poops a minimum of four times daily. My other convenience has to be cell phones. I remember a time when you only used your cell phone for an emergency because otherwise, it was sooooo expensive. However, in time, prices have come down, and people actually get rid of their landlines for these. I can’t imagine not being able to get ahold of my husband at the drop of hat like I can now. He is often driving from job site to job site, so without this convenience, I wouldn’t know where he was or if he got stuck in traffic on the way home. I couldn’t call him to pick up a gallon of needed milk either.
When Madison had to get stitches (this is when she was 2), it was a day that Bill forgot his cell phone at home. I can’t tell you what a pain it was to try and get ahold of him. I had her at an Urgent Care, and my mother in law called my father in law who called the office that Bill was at to let him know to come home. It is almost scary how much we rely on cell phones.
Speaking of convenience, you should check out the coupons here to get yourself some Yoplait yogurt. Can you imagine life without the convenience of plastic? I know, me neither! Thank you PBN for this great coupon!

We have remodeled one bathroom and completed designed the one downstairs. When we did so, we were in the market for a bathroom sink vanity. There are so many choices out there from contemporary bathroom vanities to double vanities. In the upstairs, we went with a a single sink vanity with a custom made granite sink. It looks awesome. Bill is actually the one who picked it out — I would have been okay with a cheap sink. However, I know when we go to resell our home, that will definitely be a piece that is noticed. When people come to my house, they often mention how nice our sink and vanity are. Downstairs, since it is such a small bathroom, we went with a very simple contemporary vanity that is very kid friendly. However, I just came across a site called Bathroom Vanities that we should have taken a look at during these remodel projects. They offer free shipping and are pretty competitive on their pricing.
They have some really cool vanities to pick from like this one:
Granted, with two little ones, that would not work for me, but it is cool looking. Do not like that? Then they 150 different kinds of bathroom vanities and linen cabinets. Something that is a tad more kid friendly would be something like this:
Still very classy yet somewhat contemporary. Wouldn’t you like something like this in your house? I know I do (however, my bathroom is way too small for this). However, this would fit, I think:
Small, yet very pretty. It will still a talking point too for your house! The next time we are in the market for a sink vanity, I know one place we will defintely be checking out: Bathroom Vanities. How about you? Which ones do you like?
