Back, and Announcing a New Series!
I’m back! While we’re nowhere near done with the settling process in the new house, I just couldn’t wait to jump back in and share with you some of my newest tech loves (Hello Uverse!).
While I was away, I had what I think is a great idea for a new series on the blog. I am fantastically anal when it comes to making big purchases – televisions, a new cell phone and carrier, etc. It usually takes me months to research, debate and find the best deal I can before pulling the trigger. (Which I’m certain stems from my mom – the woman once took nearly two years to decide on a new couch!) I thought it would be fun to share my decision-making process and show you how much money I saved through my efforts. I’m calling it “The Selecting Saga” and while it won’t be as enthralling as The Twilight Saga, I hope it will save you a little time if you’re considering a similar big purchase.
First up – “The Selecting a Cell Phone Saga: Evolution” Coming soon to a computer screen near you!
Tech Loving Mom is Moving!

No, not the website – the woman! We have more than outgrown our adorable but tiny first home and are so excited to be moving to a new, roomier place. Doubled our square footage – hello! I’m not sure what we’ll even do with that much space, but it’s a problem I look forward to having. 
The blog will be on sporadic hiatus over the next month or so as I attempt to pack up this little tech family and move across town.
If you’d like to keep up with us, follow me on Twitter for the latest updates as the move progresses…
Modern Appliances with Retro Design
A friend of mine bought a home with a late 50’s kitchen – complete with metal cabinets, original appliances, the whole nine yards. It is cute as a button but less than practical for today’s cooking needs. If you love the retro look (or love to mix and match like I do – how cool does an old-school style Kitchenaid mixer look on the counter of a sleek modern kitchen?), check out these modern appliances styled to look like they came straight out of your grandma’s house.
Smeg’s very cool European-sized pink retro Washing Machine with built in sink on top – genius! (from CNET.com)
Heartland Appliances Classic line of Ranges, available in electric, gas or the ultramodern dual fuel
Northstar Appliances 1950s-style Refrigerators, complete with with a full complement of modern features, including adjustable shelving & door bins, dual temperature controls, and optional ice maker.
Cool!
