About

Hi there! Welcome to Almost Practical.

So – you want to know what this site is all about.

Well, my name is Neena Nandagopal and I am a former CPA turned professional blogger.

I was bitten by the blogging bug back in 2007 and never looked back.

You probably won't be surprised to find out that I am an incredibly “practical” person.

I am always looking for products and ideas that make life easier.

My life consists of my wonderful husband, my four amazing young adult/teenaged children, my Shih-Tzu fur baby, and my blog.

What I Write About

Thus it follows that every product I try and share revolves around:

• family
• organizing
• house and home
• recipes and food (teenagers are incredibly hungry people),
• finances (think four college educations and saving for retirement),
• and blogging.

Why “Almost” Practical?

People ask me this a lot.

I wrote the full story behind the name – but I will give you the short version here:

First, completely and totally practical would be kind of boring, don't you think?

Second, I have a creative and somewhat impulsive side that is sometimes at odds with what might be sensible.

Third, on a few occasions that creative/impulsive, “just gotta have it” side comes out ahead.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, I go with practical but there is that one percent when you just have to go with your gut.

Welcome!

So, allow me to extend a warm welcome.
