Summers in the North East are pretty much like riding in a roller coaster while jumping up and down. Exciting, interesting, and bound to make you sick. The last few summers here in Rhode Island have been a stretch of wet weather followed by a stretch of heat wave weather. I can’t say we’ve had [...]

Okay, I usually don’t like to complain (oh, okay, maybe sometimes I do) but when I buy something is it foolish of me to expect it to…I don’t know…work? Years ago, for my very first desktop computer, I purchased a Gateway. Last year when I was shopping for a laptop to make work easier and [...]

Hey, let’s face it, we’re all getting older. And the older you get the more you seem to hear about fighting the signs of aging – wrinkles, age spots, fine lines, crow’s feet, etc..etc..etc.. Luckily, I’ve been blessed with smooth skin. Unluckily I’ve been cursed with skin that breaks out easily and eyes that naturally [...]

One of the missions of Living My Big Dream is to help people make their dreams come true. Changing or starting a new career is a common dream, especially in this economy. If your dream is to become a lawyer you already know that you have many years of schooling ahead of you. You can also [...]

Despite (or maybe in part because) my birthday being in July this was not a good month for me. First of all my oldest son has to go to summer school which, in my school district, costs $300 that my husband and I really didn’t have. While I understand the supposed reasons behind charging for [...]

While I don’t advocate watching too much television, there are a few shows I try to never miss even if it means recording them. At the very top of my favorite program list is House starring Hugh Laurie as the witty and damaged Dr. Gregory House. So why is House my number one when there [...]

Well, better late than never should be the topic of this month. Unfortunately I’ve been out of commission since July 3rd. Somehow I sprained my back and the inflamed muscle put pressure on my sciatic nerve causing quite a bit of pain. In fact there were two days I couldn’t even get out of bed. [...]

Sure, life is messy but that doesn’t mean your house has to be.
