It's been a while since I have done this, but the recent addition to my extended family has me giving advice about making baby foods. 

While I realize the new moms in my family think my ideas are a little crazy sometimes, they also know that I have money in my pocket because I spend carefully.  Still, they purchase baby foods at full price and complain that they are broke.  

For this reason, I'm grateful to have an audience who is actually looking for these ideas.

Do you travel on airplanes a lot?

Jim has been flying a lot more lately, and one thing he saw in the airport recently is definitely something I'm looking forward to trying.

Now you really can have a burger just the way you want it at Wendy's. You just have to be the winning entry.

This is my niece, Karly, trying out a lemon for the first time in a restaurant:

"When life gives you lemons...

Wow, there certainly has been a lot of controversy in the news lately!

By now, you've heard about the peanut butter recall...

And the latest wacky Britney Spears stories (as Jimmy Kimmel said last night: "It looks like Britney Spears has decided to give up rehab for Lent")...

And, of course, JetBlue's unfortunate chain of events which kept airline passengers in limbo for hours, which turned into days...

Not to mention the 3-ring circus surrounding Anna Nicole Smith's death right now...

What do all of these things have in common? And what does this have to do with peanut butter, you ask?
