I saw that one of my favorite always-honest-and-very-funny blogger friends, Mary at Giving Up on Perfect was participating in a 2010 Recap Carnival over at Musings of a Housewife. The idea is to share the first lines of your first post from each month. Hmmm. I went to January, and saw that what I thought was my first post of the year was … [Read more...]

Considering a New Label for Myself
Labels. Some are good and some bad. While I don't like being labeled, sometimes labeling myself is a good thing. Call me a slob? Them's fightin' words. But deciding to call myself a slob? That has been very freeing. If someone else called me that, I would wonder what they meant. Are they calling me lazy? Inept? Gross? But … [Read more...]
Blogging Goals for 2011
It's that time of year for goal setting. I've been thinking about goals/resolutions/whatever-you-want-to-call-them in the area of my deslobification process, and I'll be sharing those in the next few days. But of course, I'm also thinking about my blogging goals. And since Savvy Blogging is hosting a blogging goals linky, I thought I would go … [Read more...]

Solving the Messy Bedroom Mystery
Solving. Not "I solved." Definitely not "How to Solve." I've been thinking about this post for at least a week, but it was going to be "Solving the Messy Master Bedroom Mystery." But then, today, in preparation for my 9yo's slumber party tomorrow night, we tackled the boys' room. Oh my. I know/knew that their room was a disaster. … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – The Leftovers and Easy Meals Edition
I'm so relaxed right now. My house is a wreck, with Christmas candy and boxes still strewn all over the floor since we left the house at noon on Christmas day and arrived back home late last night. And I'm just not the type who has to have things picked up before I can think about going to bed. Wish I was . . . Anyway, I thought I'd … [Read more...]

I'm taking a break, and doubt many will be on their computers, but in case you snuck away to get a break and check my blog, I thought I'd share a few links to past posts. Feel free to comment on any of them!

My Christmas Eve To Do List
Other than flying by too quickly, this has been a lovely week. We've had a nice mix of piddling around the house and going and doing fun things. I've had a few gifts to search out, but overall it has been great. The kind of week after which I've heard normal people say, "It's been so nice and relaxing. My house is actually clean!" With me … [Read more...]
Scatter-brained Mommy Gets a Second Chance
I tend to be scatter-brained on a good day. Add the natural craziness of Christmas prep and the added stress of directing a production in the first week of December, and I can't be trusted to remember anything. In the week after the play, I forgot two major things. One was a girls-only party given by a good friend. I honestly had no nagging … [Read more...]
