It's day two of Project Home Recovery. In case you missed yesterday's post, this isn't a noble, I'm-cleaning-my-house-for-all -the-right-reasons series. People will be coming to my house in less than five days, and my house was a disaster after the last few crazy weeks. I have no choice but to get it into shape. Here is my Day Two … [Read more...]
Project Home Recovery – Day One
I had big plans for April. It was supposed to be my get-some-major-writing-projects-done-so-I'll-be-ready-for-the-loosi-goosiness-of-summer month. I planned to hole up in my house and accomplish big things. But then, my daughter decided she wanted to have a birthday party. Let me explain. I was well aware her birthday was … [Read more...]

Accepted
I blog about my deep, dark secret. It's why I'm "Nony" here. Short for aNONYmous, I never, ever planned on putting my face to that name. But a lot has changed over the past almost-four years. My deep, dark secret is now my (full-time-hours/part-time-pay) job. And I've stopped hiding. I still don't immediately volunteer the information … [Read more...]
Non-Clutter Easter Basket Fillers
(Click here to re-pin this post.) What do you see in that picture? I see clutter. As fun as a cymbal-clapping bunny may be for a whole three seconds, I don't want to have to find a home for him/her/it. I remember longing for these pre-made baskets as a child. Then I finally got one. After that, I was glad they weren't the norm in our … [Read more...]
Remembering Kids’ Medicine
On the morning of March 19th . . . an exciting thing happened. I gave my 9yo his last dose of an antibiotic. Exactly on time. Meaning, not one of TWENTY doses had been missed. I shared on Facebook, and you celebrated with me. Evidently, I'm not the only one who has stretched a ten-day antibiotic into sixteen days. I've … [Read more...]
But I Actually Remembered to Write it Down!
THE #1 most frustrating thing for a scatter-brained mama? When you actually think ahead and do the non-scatter-brained thing, and it STILL doesn't end well. I went to Blissdom (a blogging conference) this past weekend. It was in the Dallas area, so I drove. Now let me say I do have a bit of a fear of parking garages. This is partly … [Read more...]
Can Bounty DuraTowel Paper Towels Hold Up for a Tough Job?
I'm so excited to serve as a spokesperson for the new Bounty DuraTowel paper towels! The basic premise behind these new paper towels is that they're durable enough and strong enough to be used in place of a dishcloth. Because "even after just one day's use, dishcloths can harbor and redeposit millions of germs." Nobody had to convince me … [Read more...]
Cute Idea for Normal People, Bad Idea for Slobs
I've liked Rachael Ray ever since her first quirky 30 Minute Meals show on the Food Network. I like her magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray. Good recipes. Good tips. (Normally) good ideas. The April issue that we just got has some ultra-creative egg decorating ideas. They give techniques for making eggs REALLY hard to hunt. They show … [Read more...]
