Oh, how I wish I'd run out of things to write about around here . . . . No such luck. I'm sure it started with one little thing thrown into the laundry room just before the doorbell was supposed to ring. Then another thing and one more. And then, since it was a "junk spot" anyway, other random things that didn't have a home got dumped …

2 Minute-Task – Cleaning the Fryer
I mentioned on facebook over the summer that I was excited to find fresh okra at our local Farmer's Market. I. Love. Okra. So much. Mmmmmmm. Sorry. I got distracted.

032 – After the Fail – Podcast
Whew. I recorded another podcast. After stopping no less than TEN times yesterday, I finally blabbered my way through this one. (Ramble alert!) In this one I talk about how I get back on track after failing. (Which I have plenty of experience with . . . . ) Links mentioned within this podcast: 28 Days e-book is now …
Five Years Later, I Did the Laundry
I officially missed my fifth blogiversary. Some bloggers host parties and giveaways to celebrate the anniversary of the day they started blogging, but I'm pretty sure that will never happen around here. I started blogging the day my second child went to kindergarten. That means the first day of school (or somewhere around there) always marks the …
Parmesan Pepper Seasoned French Fries Recipe
This isn't really a recipe. It's more of a What I Did post. But I had to share. My family insisted. I've seen recipes online for french fries tossed in stuff. I'm sure that information was hiding in the depths of my brain when it burst forth without specifics this summer. Basically, this is a "recipe" born out of guilt. Out …
Back on Track: The Constant Battle Against my Delusions of “Normal”
I'm not normal. I know that. But I still live with this delusion that someday, Normal will happen. Specifically, that my life will be normal. That I'll get a routine figured out and that routine will work for the rest of my life. The rest of my entire life. No adjustments needed. I know better. Really, I do. But I still struggle with this …

From The Mailbox: I Got a Complaint, But It Wasn’t From My Family!
Oh how this letter from one of you made me giggle!! Dear Nony, I have been diligently working to get my house clean and organized before I go back to school in a week. I was so proud to be totally caught up on not only washing the laundry for my family of five but also having PUT ALL OF THE CLOTHES AWAY in closets and drawers where they …
