There's an Amazon affiliate link in this post. Yes. There really is. I believe that optimism plays a part in my excessive losing of things. Things always turn up. Eventually. The lost hairbrush or the lost shoe or the second set of keys? We'll find it one of these days. We always do. So I don't usually stress out about looking … [Read more...]
Family Pick-Up Time (Or The Benefits of Random Intentionality)
Five times five equals twenty-five. For real. It totally does. Now. A few years ago, though, five times five equaled three. Sometimes seven. I'm talking about minutes. Five people doing a five-minute pick-up equals twenty-five minutes of picking up. But in the beginning, when Family Pick-Up Time was a totally new thing, five people … [Read more...]
Building My Organizing Cred
Depending on where someone first lands in this blog, he/she might be totally impressed or totally horrified by my organizing skills. And then there's Hubby.

Jealous of Other People’s Houses

One Thing You Should NOT Put in Your Dishwasher
This post contains one little ol' Amazon affiliate link. As you know, I'm an Anti-Pre-Wash-Ite. I get a thrill from putting stuff like this in my dishwasher: Even my converted-from-pre-washing husband questioned my sanity, but it came out perfectly clean and totally chocolate-cake-less. BUT . . . one thing you should never put … [Read more...]
Putting My Best Food/Foot Forward
Confession: That picture above is what my freezer looked like the day before Paula came to my house. With excessive explanation, I could have pointed out the homemade meatballs in the freezer bag.
