NEW YORK — Rates on fixed mortgages dropped to their lowest levels in decades this week after the Federal Reserve unveiled a massive bond-buying program to help spur economic growth.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for 30-year fixed loans fell to 4.17 percent from 4.24 percent last week. That's the lowest on records dating back to 1971.

The average rate on 15-year fixed loans fell to 3.57 percent from 3.63 percent. That's the lowest since the survey began in 1991.

The Fed detailed plans last week to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds. The extra demand means Treasurys will produce lower yields for investors. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields.

Superhero Soccer Party

A few weeks ago, Clyde turned 4 and we celebrated at a local sports park, Scor . He wanted a superhero theme to go with the soccer party so I did my best to pull that off! First off, I purchased this clip art from Etsy. I was going to try to design the invitation myself but am lacking talent in that department so ended up getting local Elizabeth from Sunshine Ink Studio to create for me. Much cuter then what I pulled together.  For the cake, I ordered plain cupcakes with green polka dots from Kroger. The polka dots were far from what I had in mind but the kids didn't care! I ordered cupcake toppers using the same clip art from The Sister Studio . Camille & Clyde both got new shirts for the occasion. Clyde's batman shirt came from TwoTwoCute Designs on Etsy.

And then free hand cut the...

Camille with my niece, Vail We woke up yesterday to an unexpected snow day! Woohoo! There is snow on the ground but I am thinking spring ! I tried on this cute dress at Kohl's earlier this week. It was more expensive in store than online! I left it in the store but am still thinking about it especially with the $32 price tag. Could be nice for Easter if it is chilly.

Guest Post....Ashley from Perk! Pilates Fitness

Recently after my barre class, I decided that I could no longer wear my Forever21 workout leggings. They were uncomfortable and constantly falling down. I asked my one of my closest friends and pilates/barre instructor, Ashley, if she could recommend some reasonable workout wear. And she had a lot to say on the matter and at that moment I decided perhaps there are others who would like some advice on the best places to buy workout garb. So I am thrilled that today, Ashley is guest posting. She has some great advice! She is not only an instructor but also the owner of Perk! Pilates Fitness in Fort Collins, Colorado. She is pretty terrific. Based on Ashley's advice, I got the Old Navy compression capris & leggings and they are SO much better. There was a sale as there always is at Old Navy so I paid less than $20 a piece!   As a person who lives in fitness gear, I am thrilled to share my thoughts on workout apparel. January allows us to welcome a new year wher...
