Oaklen's 3rd Birthday Review

Oaklen's birthday was a few weeks ago and he had a fun weekend!

Here is a movie about the adventure we went on the day before his birthday:


His birthday was on a Sunday so we did the usual church, then had family over for a party that evening. I made an orange cake with an "excavator" on it. (The excavator was part of his gift.) Click to view bigger pictures.

I did a photo shoot of him for his 3-yr-old pictures. This was the best one, he loves his orange garbage truck!

Friday Frugal Tip - Free Credit Report

Here's a quick Friday Frugal Tip...

The credit bureaus are required by law to let you see your credit report once a year for free.

Go to:
www.annualcreditreport.com

You can request a credit report from the three major credit-reporting agencies:
Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

If you just request one report at a time, you can view your credit report 3 different times a year for free. Stagger your requests to once every four months and you can check for fraud or disputes on a regular basis.

(The websites will try to sell you your FICO score or other credit monitoring services but all you really need is the detailed credit report that they give you.)

It was an easy, quick process and it gave me the report online to view or print.

Enjoy! (I hope.)

Monday morning date night

My Dearest Sani Taire,

I just finished my date with you. Oh how I love you so much! I look forward to our weekly dates and always dress in my best evening gown.

I loved the way you handled yourself as we waltzed in the dining room and as you helped me up each and every step. You were so gallant when we encountered the light saber fighting child who wouldn't dare let us touch his legos. I was happy that you weren't jealous as I foxtrotted with Mr. Broom and did the cha cha with Mike Mop. You were so kind to let the 3 year old push you around as I talked with Dust-in. You're so good with children.

I love the way we get dirty. Sani, you are quite powerful. Thanks for such a good time. You always make me feel good after our date. My house lingers of traces of you and makes me smile. See you next week, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and don't worry about sending me a return note, I already know how I turn you on!

Sincerely,
Your mistress Heather
