Living In Norway Is Expensive!
2008-01-31 23:47:00 Which you all already knew…but sometimes when I buy groceries, it is just painful how much we spend. AND we are trying to get the “less expensive” items.

2008-01-23 14:48:00 I remember when I was little and we had one of the coolest swing sets in our back yard at home.

Did You Hear It?
2008-01-15 23:16:00 When I come across companies that are very sure of themselves and that are extremely confident in themselves, it tends to make me have a little more confidence in them too.
