It's déjà vu, y'all. (And yes, I had to google how to spell déjà vu and then copy/paste it to get the marks correct.) Remember a while back when I revealed the scary underbelly of my living room couch? And then remember when I had to let washing machine delivery men into the house just hours after I returned from a trip? Well, my age-old …

Because They Just Don’t Care as Much as I Do
A better blogger might name this post "Labeling Shampoo and Conditioner Bottles to Keep Teenage Boys from Washing their Hair With Conditioner," but I have a very hard time believing anyone would search for that. In case you're one to follow along closely, you know about our broken shower. Which might mean that when I mention it's still …

The After After Post About the Laundry Room
I promised a real before-and-after post about my laundry room. Because here was the real before picture of one thing that had been in my way in the laundry room for weeks months: My rolling cart which never fit after I got my last washing machine.

The Good and Bad of Cleaning with Baking Soda

Dealing with Rust Stains on My Stainless Steel Appliances
About four years ago, I got stainless steel appliances. I love them, but they are definitely hard to clean. To clarify, though, I'm not one to notice little smudges here and there so all appliances of any finish or color or type are "hard to clean" for me. I generally don't see any issues until I know a guest is on her way. For the first …
Another Favorite Delusion: Tomorrow, I’ll Be a Potato Farmer
Oh my word, y'all. I abound with delusions. All sorts of them. Someday, I'll be crafty, efficient, excited to exercise, and who knows what else. When these potatoes started sprouting, it seemed like a great idea to hold onto them and start potato farming. I mean, I saw an instructional video years ago that sounded like it was super easy and …
Decluttering Duhs: The Stink Test
I loved these shoes. Loved them. Hubby gave them to me for Christmas a year and a half ago. Somehow, he knew exactly what I wanted. (Maybe because I ordered them myself.) I bought them before we spent Christmas at Disney World because I knew there might be capri days. Y'know. Days when it was too cool for shorts but too warm for long …
