  Mailerlite vs Mailchimp: A warning (it’s not what you think)

  So about 12 months ago, I was using Mailchimp and there was suddenly a huge drama because they changed their fee structure and got a LOT more expensive. Customers started leaving them in droves.

  Wedding Wednesday: The Rings

  I struggled to write an introductory paragraph for this post on choosing wedding rings, buying them, etc, but I hope this post is helpful for anyone struggling with decisions such as: “Is it okay to buy a second hand vintage wedding ring?” Or: “Is tungsten carbide a good material for a wedding ring?” The answer is…

  Wedding Wednesday: The Entertainment

  This week I want to tell you about the entertainment.  This post contains affiliate links for those people who don’t know about certain games I’m referring to.
