I'm generally home on Mondays. Generally. Translated - Usually. Most often. Probably. Should be. So, if you ask me if I can guarantee that I'll be home on Monday, I'll have to say "No, I can't guarantee it." But if you ask me if I can guarantee that after one week, will there be at least 35 pairs of dirty underwear in my house . . . I can … [Read more...]

Menu Plan Monday – Back to It
I didn't menu plan last week. Ironically, it was because I spent Monday working on eliminating the clutter corner in our office/gameroom and writing up the post about it for orgjunkie.com. And of course . . . I regretted it. Does anyone else find themselves checking their own blog to see what's for supper that night? Last week, with nothing to … [Read more...]
My Favorite February Post
I'm joining in at Elizabeth Esther's Saturday Evening Blog Post where bloggers are linking up their favorite post from February. I chose "All Housekeeping Points Expire at Midnight" because it pretty much explains so much of my slob-problem. Go check out the blog party over at Elizabeth Esther's blog. It's a great chance to get to know other … [Read more...]
My Decluttering Progress for February
February flew by. When I realized a few minutes ago that I hadn't written a post about my February decluttering progress to link up at Amy's Finer Things, I clicked on my decluttering tab at the bottom of the page, only to verify that I haven't done as much in the past month as I should have. But as I've learned so well in this "coming clean" … [Read more...]
Bursting my Scrubbing Bubble
I have such a long way to go in this journey. My house is looking tons better overall, but I am still so quick to ditch the daily habits that make the difference between continuing the improvement and sliding back down into chaos. The past three days have been crazy. A very painful ear infection in my 3yo, Bible Study, Mom's group meeting, … [Read more...]
The Problem with "Just in Case"
I was watching the Three Stooges a few days ago. (With the kids . . . it's not exactly my show of choice for "me" time.) This episode began with them living in a shack. In the shack, Curly was making some soup, I believe it was tire soup or something equally Stoogish. He was cooking it over a fire in a pot that was under an iron bed frame. You … [Read more...]
Taking the Day Off to Snuggle
I had a post planned for today about how my chore chart has been working with the boys for the last month. I was excited to write it, but alas, mommyhood must take priority as I have a 3 year old with an earache who needs to snuggle. I'll hopefully get it up for next Works for Me Wednesday. A few random questions for my loyal readers, if you … [Read more...]
Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets – Freezer Cooking
The picture below is my smallest, ugliest one. And I think it looks pretty fabulous. And it tasted even better! My original plan turned out to be a little more than I could do, but I was determined to make the breakfast pockets. I really want to have more substantial quick breakfasts available to my kids, and I was sure they … [Read more...]
Squeezing in my Daily Checklist
Today has been a bit crazy. I haven't had tons of commitments or anything, but I really wanted to make the breakfast pockets and participate in Freezer Cooking Days at Money Saving Mom. Not a problem, except that it's also Tuesday, my new day to clean bathrooms. Not a problem, except that just yesterday we got notice that my kindergartner was … [Read more...]
