Gather Little by Little

I am really enjoying my vacation from my “real job”. I’m getting some time with my family and my kids and gaining additional appreciation for what my wife does and deals with while I’m at work. The real fun starts today at 3:00 when the kids come home and start [...]

Ever since I rolled out my new theme, I’ve noticed that my RSS subscriber count seemed to flatline. I’ve been wracking my brain for weeks trying to figure out why, explaining it away to the holidays, normal feedburner fluctuations, etc.
I finally decided to ask my M-Network buddies for their help and plonkee [...]

A reader named bmhumphries made the an interesting comment and asked a great question recently on my How to make paying your year end property taxes painless:
I have a question for you and your readers. How many separate accounts do you have in you on-line banks? I had to [...]

The first time I heard MercyMe was on our local Christian radio station. The station was playing their first big hit, I can only imagine. The song is powerful, and both Bart’s voice and the band’s sound was unique. They quickly become my favorite band. Not only were they incredibly good, [...]

Just a quick post to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I won’t be posting an article today as I’ll be spending time with my family and eating way too much. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. I would encourage you to spend some time [...]

I finally bit the bullet and established a profile on Facebook.  I’m still learning the ins and outs, and not exactly sure just what to do with it yet.  Here’s a link to my facebook profile if you would be interested in adding me as a friend.   So, maybe I’ll see you on there and [...]

The new theme is now live.  I still have a couple of minor issues and some tweaks I’d like to make, but overall the implementation went very smooth.
Please let me know what you think!!

While the current theme here on Gather Little by Little has served this site well since it’s inception 4 months ago, I have been finding various issues with it that are both limiting what I want to do with the site and causing it to not display well at various resolutions.  As a result, I’ve [...]

For those of you that might be wondering about the extra big Friday Gathering I promised…Well, it’s in process and will be up this evening.  I had some unexpected issues at the “real job” today that I hadn’t planned for, and behind on getting it formatted and posted.
I promise though, I haven’t forgotten!

I’ve mentioned in a past article that the M-Network bloggers, including myself, will be participating in Blog Action Day. If you aren’t familiar with Blog Action Day, it occurs on Monday October 15th. Bloggers around the world will post about a single topic: the environment and in their own way relate it [...]

This is not a paid review nor am I receiving any financial benefit from this article. Just One Club Card is a service that I use and find value from and I thought you might too.
Until recently I had at least 10 different “club cards”. You know, those cards you can now get [...]

Let’s face the facts, bad things happen and usually unexpectedly. Regardless of your age and how healthy you think you are, accidents and sudden illness can happen to anyone. Various studies show that medical debt is one of the leading causes of financial chaos and turns out to be one of the main [...]
