Gratitude instead of a makeover
« on: August 22, 2014, 09:51:37 AM »
I saw this and knew this community would appreciate it. It's so great to see someone appreciating the awesomeness they have in front of them, without rushing out to spend a lot of time, energy, and money to get an update just for the sake of getting an update!

And it reminds me of how awesome my kitchen is, too!

I feel like the fact that I've recently caught two thread replications might mean I'm reading the forum too much.

I'm not sure there's any such thing as "too much" when it comes to this forum.

No, no, no.  You mean you'll borrow it, make it or check it out from the library

My wife found this blog post and thought it was awesome.  I hadn't ever introduced her to MMM and this was a perfect segway.  "If you like that, you should check out Mr. Money Mustache!"

I especially like the part where the kindergartener is asked what you do in a kitchen and he replies "DANCE".  So cute. 

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
