On our trip in July, there was an unfortunate incident. There is one member of our family (I won't name names) who has an extreme aversion to . . . Ummmm . . . . (How exactly do I put this??) . . . wet undies. Now, before you defend this unnamed person, let me explain that I completely and totally agree that no one should have to … [Read more...]

But . . . What If She Wants to Play With It Again?
Last April, we got a new puppy. She's almost perfect. (Other than the occasional tinkle in the house.) She has claimed about four of my daughter's (400) stuffed animals as her own. We get such joy out of watching her play with her toys. She shakes them and throws them across the room to play fetch with herself. She obsesses over one for a … [Read more...]
Two Plates Left
Pre-blog, we depended on paper plates. Lots of 'em. When I forgot to get them at the store, Hubby would start to panic. We used them for survival. Their purpose wasn't to keep us from doing dishes, it was to allow us to eat when all non-paper plates were dirty. Which was a regular occurrence. Once I started doing the dishes every … [Read more...]
Turning Off the Automatic Put Back Feature
Oh, how I struggle with the Automatic Put Back. Do you? Oh. You have no idea what I'm talking about? Well, it's the thing that happens when I pull something out of a cabinet/drawer/closet and think "Oh, we can't use this because it's broken/ugly/I-just-don't-like-it." Those thoughts go through my head. My response? Put it right back … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Laundry Room
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 … [Read more...]
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. Anyway, I googled my own recipe for what I don't hesitate to declare is the very best fried okra ever. I also dug around in a cabinet and found my fryer. I almost … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
