We paid $30 for a programmable thermostat that my husband installed. We can already see the savings!

This is a gift we gave our daughter last year when she graduated with her master’s degree. I wanted her gift to look extra special, so I wrapped it a lot fancier than I usually do.

If you’ve never seen Walt Disney’s movie, The Parent Trap, then I recommend it. It’s a fun, entertaining movie about two identical twin girls who were separated at birth and know nothing of each other’s existence…until they meet at camp. And then the fun begins!

The movie has all sorts of twists and turns and is delightful to watch.
