Two Second Task – Moving Things We Don’t Use
In the summer of 2012, we got a new TV. When we got it, it didn't make any sense to hook up the VCR and DVD players that we never used, but that had been hooked up to our old TV. We didn't hook them up, but we also didn't move them. Right. They sat there. Shoved to the side of a TV that didn't have a flat top for stacking stuff on it. …
An Incredibly Creative Way to Menu Plan
I'm taking a few days "off" this week to work on a book. A "real" one that will never get written if I don't make it a priority. I love this guest post from Sara of Weekend Shakeups showcasing her inCREDibly creative take on menu planning! (Haven't I mentioned before how people like us are creative??!!) “What do you want for dinner?” My …
How Habit #1 Really Does Change My Life
My friend Mary of Giving Up on Perfect offered to write this post after a comment I made in my first Google+ Hangout where she was a guest. (She was there when I messed up and it didn't record.) As I introduced her, I shared that I remember the first time I met her because she said she had been running her dishwasher every night(ish) since she read …
Is Intentional Living in the Big Stuff or the Little Stuff?
I mentioned on Facebook this week that I was giddy over the fact that for a few short hours, I was beating the Cookie Monster in the top ten list for my podcast category in iTunes. I said if I had a bucket list, I'd write that down just so I could cross it off. But I don't have a bucket list. So I started thinking about whether I should have …
Three Things I Pitched This Week
I could write an angst-filled post about each one of these, but I'll spare you. They're all things that OBviously needed to go, but still caused me to hes . . . i . . . tate before I decided to throw them in the trash. Broken kitchen scissors. I love my kitchen scissors, but as I trimmed my 40 lbs of chicken, they snapped. …

Medieval Times Tickets and Support Breast Cancer Research
Y'all know how much I love Medieval Times, right? We went recently (thanks to tickets I received when I went on their press tour), and it was even more fun since I had met so many of the people involved in creating the experience. They are having a "Joust for the Cure" campaign right now and are supporting breast cancer research. As someone …
Do it Now or Do it Later
I'm pretty sure "Do it Now or Do it Later" was a phrase my mother said to me as a child. So I guess I should give up on the dream that my children will take all of my motherly advice to heart and avoid life's struggles. The phrase came to my head on Sunday afternoon as I vacuumed. I had procrastinated as LONG as I possibly could. I was …
