I'm not planning to keep track of the days forever, because, after all, this is the rest of my life, right? Today was another one of those days where all plans went out the window. Another sick kid and another doctor visit. Looks like we're on the healing side of things and we should be back to normal very soon. Ahhh. Again, getting up a little …

Menu Plan Monday – My First Time
I'm soooo excited. This is my first time to do Menu Plan Monday!!! And my first time to participate in anything like this. And maybe . . . just maybe . . . someone will visit my blog! Of course, I do have mixed feelings about that. But if you are here, I say "Welcome!" So I'm trying to get our home under control. You know, to the point that I …
One week down: The rest of my life to go . . .
I started this blog on Monday, and today is Sunday. So with this post, I've been blogging for a week now. I'm proud of the fact that my bed has been made everyday. I used to think that there was no point in making your bed, because you're going to get back in and mess it up that night. I . . . was . . . wrong. It feels nice. We don't lose the …
ONE Big Mess (Instead of 8!)
I'm messy. Clutter is a constant struggle. The monotonous task of keeping my kitchen sparkling after three meals a day is not on the top of my priority list. I wish it was, and so we have this blog. I love it when I come up with something that helps me minimize how messy my kitchen gets. About six years ago, I went to a …

Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Is it just me, or can you feel the "I'm not going to want to cook tonight" funk coming on early in the day sometimes? This is my go-to meal when that hits. First of all, it can be put in the crockpot at noon, sometimes as late as 2 if you aren't going to eat until 6:30 or so. Second, everybody loves it. Third, I've always got Kraft BBQ sauce in …
A Day of Real Life
Today was one of those "real life" days. I've been home most days this week and today began with a dentist appt and marathon coupon shopping. Fun day. So what did I get done? Nothing. I even have to go check to see if I made my bed. . . .I did!!! I'm so excited. That was not what I was expecting. Made bed. Go me!!!Now to get back to doing …

What should I be doing?
So I've blogged for two days now. Not exactly a marathon accomplishment, but you have to start somewhere. I'm guessing that if anyone was reading this, they'd probably want to tell me about some great resources to help in getting my house in order. I'm very open to reading things, but I should probably share that I've read quite a few things on …
