This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Hunger is a real issue in our community. Probably in most communities. This year, our school district began serving breakfast to ALL students in the classrooms, every morning. My kids think it's awesome. I didn't think … [Read more...]
Day Four – Everything BUT Vacuuming
Do you talk to yourself while you clean? Oh. Me neither. But if I did, today my constant reminder to myself would have been, "Everything but vacuuming." At first, I planned to vacuum. But then I got going, and decided I would leave it for tomorrow. Somehow that helped keep me on track. Every time I would think about waiting until tomorrow … [Read more...]
Project Home Recovery: Day Three
It's Day Three of Project Home Recovery. I've officially passed the halfway point between oh-my-word-I'm-really-going-to-host-a-party-on-SATURDAY? and let-them-in-the-front-door. I spent today going to Bible Study, running errands and gathering party supplies. After I picked up the kids from school, my daughter and I (once again) tackled … [Read more...]
Project Home Recovery: Day Two – Bathrooms
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...]

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...]
