Last week was quite productive. It's amazing how much you can get done in a week when you have a sick-enough-to-be-stuck-at-home-but-not-the-kind-of-sick-that-makes-messes kid. While working on the laundry organization project, I pulled out my small vacuum that has the hoses and such so I could suck up the dust behind the dryer. I started to … [Read more...]

Menu Plan Monday – the Uninspired Edition
Have you seen my new Recipes page at the top of the page? I'm thankful for the motivation from Laura over at Orgjunkie to make one. She now has an ongoing link-up where bloggers can share their recipe pages. Such a fabulous resource of real-life recipes! I'm calling this the Uninspired Edition because I'm feeling . . . uninspired. As I began … [Read more...]
Organizing the Laundry Room
The initial title that popped into my head was "Re-organizing the Laundry Room." Then I thought, "Ummm, who am I kidding?" I've cleaned my laundry room before. I've even given another go at using my unbelievably-cool-so-why-can't-they-solve-all-of-my-problems stackable laundry baskets. But still, that was my before pic. This time, … [Read more...]
My Life of Irony
I've said it before. I live . . . a life . . . of irony. I should really expect these things to happen. Last Friday, I wrote a post about my friend whose home is always clean and who finds joy in her cleaning routine. I mentioned how she regularly moves her furniture when she vacuums. I might have just thought I was pretty funny … [Read more...]
A Belated Birthday Giveaway! – And My First VLOG!!!
There you go. My very first vlog. (That's a "video log," in case anyone thinks I've acquired a potty-mouth.) It's belated, because I'm a belated-kind-of-gal. My great ideas tend to come to me right when it's almost too late to implement them. But since this is my very own blog, I get to do what I want and host a birthday giveaway 5 days … [Read more...]
What to Do With Dirty Kitchen Towels When Laundry Day is a Week Away
There's laundry. And then there's kitchen laundry. Meaning, wet laundry. My mother did a great job of instilling the fear of wet laundry in me. Not that I always handle it like I should . . . but at least I'm afraid of it. I've seen wonderful ideas from people who have it more together than I do. They have special drying areas, or … [Read more...]
When "So Much Better" is No Longer "Good Enough"
When I began this blog, perfection was definitely not my goal. I just wanted a livable home. One where my family could relax. And find things. One of my proudest accomplishments has been our office/game room. It's the room that sold the house for us, and I'm guessing it would sell the house to someone else if we ever need to move. It's … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – the Birthday Cake Edition
It's official. I'm in my late 30s now. 37 to be exact. And since my sweet little family made my favorite cake, that will be the dessert on our menu every night until it's gone. Wondering why the "HIRT" candles? Hubby said they couldn't fit the entire set of "Happy Birthday" candles on the cake, so they settled for "Happy B … [Read more...]
Aaaaahhhhh . . . Dust Bunnies
OK, before I get into this post, I want to let you know that the friend I'm going to talk about knows that I'm talking about her. In fact, she's excited about it. There may be bloggers out there who have to worry about friends and family being upset if they write about them, but I'm not really one of those bloggers. I do try to be careful, … [Read more...]
