Note #1: I'm sure I've written this same post with different objects at least once. Probably six times. Note #2: Yes. I'm aware I have issues. The only thing I wanted for my birthday was a new can opener. Seriously. I'm pretty sure I received my old one (on the bottom) as a by-request birthday present several years ago. I loved … [Read more...]
When You Can’t Remember a Memory
That broken Christmas ornament perplexes me. I'm going to be honest. It's sitting in a Donate Box in my garage. If I can't remember where it came from by the time that Donate Box leaves the house, it will be gone forever. Here's the thing. Hubby and I have a tradition of buying Christmas ornaments on vacations. Ornaments that represent … [Read more...]
So So Tempting . . . (And a Family Kitchen Clean Up Report)
We've been doing our Family Kitchen Clean-Up Time for three whole weeks now. We get off track on the weekends, but during the week we're pretty much rockin' it. And . . . it's fun. I know. So strange. But really, one of my biggest excuses/reasons for not cleaning up the kitchen in the evening is that I hate missing family time. This … [Read more...]
Giveaway!! – Fish Foam Window Cleaner
Random Observation #1: It makes me giggle that as a Known-to-the-World Slob (seriously, I know I have readers in Germany, Egypt, Serbia, Lithuania and more), companies ask me to test out their cleaning products. It's great motivation to clean! Random Observation #2: Taking pictures of dirty windows is hard. You know how a window can look … [Read more...]
How to Declutter Birthday Cards
Step One: Read the card one last time while thinking nice thoughts about the person who wrote it. Step Two: Throw it in the trash can. If the person who wrote it will be coming over soon, place another piece of trash over it so they don't see that you threw away their card. (School papers work well for this.) Now, lest you think I'm … [Read more...]
Since I Only Remember at the LEAST Convenient Time
It's winter. You wouldn't know it from the gorgeous weather last weekend, but we do have random spurts of insanely cold (for Texas) temperatures that make me want to bury myself under a blanket. Unfortunately, I can't (always) do that. And my kids really can't, because they have to go to school. So we bundle up in the coats we haven't … [Read more...]
It’s My Birthday, and I’m Having a Sale!!!
I'm sorry. This sale has ended. Partly because I'm not 39 anymore. I'm posting this on Monday evening (while I'm still 38), but by the time most of you read it . . . . it will be my birthday!!! And yes. If you just added 1+38, you figured out that I'm turning 39. For the very first time!! To celebrate, I put my e-books on sale. From … [Read more...]
Decluttering the Boys’ Bookshelf
The kids were out of school on Friday. Fun Mom took them to the park to enjoy a warm and sunny January day. (Seriously. We're in Texas.) But before she took over, Good Mom made them declutter their bookshelf. Their insanely messy bookshelf. We asked three questions: #1: Did you love this book? #2: Did you love it … [Read more...]
Making Fashion Easy
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I go back and forth between: "Seriously? I have no time to worry about fashion!" and "I would like one of everything in the store, please!" I generally settle somewhere in between at: "I need a few cute pieces that I can dress … [Read more...]
