This Frugal Family

This is the weekend that Tekko comes to Pittsburgh. I’ve been to Tekko several times, but today, I meet my favorite voice actor. I’m super excited, and can’t wait to see him. So, my boyfriend, and I, met our favorite voice actors. Brandon McInnis who plays Gyutaru in Demon Slayer was so down to earth and amazing. I also met my favorite anime actor, J Michael Tatum from Black Butler. He was so sweet, and kind. I can’t believe that I got to meet him. It was a dream come true. I love Black Butler so much, and he made me appreciate it even more. There’s so much going on at Tekko 2023. There are so many vendors, and cool games too. You can really get in touch with your Anime side at this year’s Tekko. I can’t believe I’ve been having such a great time. Tekko is going on the rest of today, and tomorrow. So get your behind down here to David Lawrence Convention Center, in Pittsburgh. We’re here tonight, and Tekko doesn’t leave until tomorrow evening. Today has been like a day out of a dream. I was able to meet so many exciting people and it’s…

I want to start by saying, “I love Restano”.  It’s been on my radar for a while now.  The Pittsburgh-based company is the best at what they do.  I’ve been going to them for a while now, and every time, I’m more satisfied with their work.  The Pittsburgh Plumbing Service is the Bomb!  There’s no better company to get your services from.  They take pride in their work. You could try Home Depot, or even Lowes, for this kind of thing, but why not go to a Pittsburgh Plumbing Service company, if you are in the area.  Restano will be your go-to company all the time, once you use them.  You’ll be so satisfied you won’t want to go to anyone else. Heating, Cooling and Plumbing all in one place.  It’s a great feeling when you can get everything done at one time.  You will not regret using this company for all of these needs.  My Uncle just had Heating/Cooling changed in his home, using Restano, and so far, he’s never been more pleased.  But the plumbing is the GREATEST of their assets, you really want to use them in the future. Disclaimer: This product was received from Responsival for…

Restano is a great company, that has been working in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for over 30 years.  We love Restano!  The company has a great reputation, and is the definition of “Plumbing In Pittsburgh“. On the website, you can request a quote, etc.  There is so much to see and do through their site, including HVAC.  But, plumbing is a great asset with them. I love plumbing around Pittsburgh, because Restano is the best company.  Their workers are so polite, and work their hardest to get the quality for you that you deserve. They have 5 locations, all throughout Pittsburgh.  Take a look at their page, to find out where.   You can also visit Lowes if you’d like to do your own plumbing, but I would stick with Restano.  Lowes, you have to fix yourself, with all the experience Restano has, they’ll have it fixed in no time. Home Depot is another place you can get your plumbing needs.  But, again, you’d have to fix the issue. The best thing to do, is call Restano, at above link, and let them do the work.  It’ll save you time, and money.      

100 Things To Do In Pittsburgh Before You Die is a great Second Edition book.  We enjoyed reading through it, and seeing all the great things to do, in a great city.  We’ve actually already done quite a few.  We’ve been to several tourist spots, etc.  There are a few things I’d definitely like to do, still, though. 100 Things To Do In Pittsburgh Before You Die details some great things in Pittsburgh, including Kennywood.  Who hasn’t been to Kennywood?  It’s a great place, with great food, and lots of fun to be sought there.  There’s also some other great places like Mount Washington listed.  The Incline is a huge thing in Pittsburgh, and yes, I’ve been there too. Rossilynne Culgan is director of The Incline, which is a Pittsburgh news website devoted to helping curious locals make the most of the city.  Rossilynne has a large background of work history.  She’s worked at Cargnegie Science Center, Tribune-Review, About.com, and more. 100 Things To Do In Pittsburgh Before You Die is very informative, and gets down to the best things to do in Pittsburgh.  Including:  PNC Park, and Primanti Bros. this book is a huge asset, if you are in Pittsburgh, or plan on…
