I loved this picture and note that Angie shared on my Facebook page SOOO much that I just had to share it here! Nony, I just had to share this with you and would like to thank you for introducing the concept of CONTAINER into my slob brain! This is a picture of my son's dresser. All of the drawers are full and all of those clothes … [Read more...]

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.

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.

Organizing (in my mind) meant finding a way to keep all my stuff under control. A way that would work perfectly for the rest of my days upon the … [Read more...]
The Make or Break Step of Using a Dishwasher
See that? That's me on a day when I am rocking my dishwasher routine. Hooking four coffee mugs on one hand to take them all to the coffee-mug-cabinet in one trip.

Sometimes a Big Event Is Just the Push I Need
I can think about and hem and haw over changing up something in my home for, ummmm . . . a really long time. Then, we have a party or a special guest or something bigger than your normal Girl Scout meeting and I suddenly look at my home through brand new eyes.
