Yesterday, I shared the story of two hours spent cleaning in my master bedroom to be ready for the possibility that I'd have to open the door and let the Insurance Lady see inside. I was happy with the results. My husband was happy. My daughter was in awe. Yay for middle-of-the-night walks to the potty made easier!! But there were a few more … [Read more...]
Spending Two Hours In The Master Bedroom (Cleaning)
I mentioned last week that my washing machine died. It died a watery death. A watery death that ruined the wood floor outside the laundry room. Which meant I had to call our insurance company. Which meant I had to let someone inside my house. Which meant I feared she would need to open the door to the master bedroom which is just to the … [Read more...]
Random Monday Reality Check 2/2
It's Monday. The Monday after the SuperBowl. Don't worry. You haven't landed on the wrong blog. The blog of someone who gets so excited about the SuperBowl that she writes about it the next day. You're in the right place. And I actually do love SuperBowl Sunday. I love that it makes 3/5 of my family excited. I love hanging out in the … [Read more...]
The Pile that Grew (And Grew and Grew and Grew)
And this post demonstrates why Hubby no longer worries that I'll run out of Slob Blog Material. That's the pile. I knew it was there. I knew it had grown.

Super Fast (And Almost Embarrassingly Easy) Chicken Alfredo Pasta with Spinach
Last week, I told you how I shred twenty-five pounds of cooked chicken breasts in minutes. I promised I'd share some recipes I make with that shredded chicken. This one comes together in minutes. Chicken Alfredo Spinach Pasta is one of my kids' favorites. It's so easy it's embarrassing to post it as a "recipe." Especially since I still … [Read more...]
That Trip to the Trashcan Takes a While Sometimes
Big news in our house: We got a new remote!!! Our DVR died recently. This seems to happen every five years or so, and thankfully the company sends us a new one without a lot of hassle. But as I learned last time, new DVRs don't come with new remotes. Sooooo, the remote we had was about ten years old. The battery cover was long gone. … [Read more...]
A Solution That Works! (Finally!!)
I wrote a post a while back about how I was giving up on how I wanted things to be and just going with how they are. I wanted that basket on the other side of the TV. So it wouldn't run the risk of hanging halfway off the side of the dresser. That never worked. As you can see in the top picture, the pile o' games and movies kept happening on … [Read more...]
