I love pulling these ornaments out each year! It's so fun to remember what we chose each year in the past to show each child's personality. These are definitely on my list of things to make next week! Go here to see a post I wrote back in 2009 with instructions on how to make them. I promise, they're EASY! … [Read more...]
Decluttering an OLD T-shirt (12 Days of Decluttering)
Whew. This has been (as expected) one crazy week. But that still-mostly-empty box keeps staring at me, so I'm trying to add to it a little at a time. Today, I threw in an old t-shirt. A very old t-shirt. A t-shirt that is half-of-three-decades old. Which, somehow . . . sounds more dramatic in my mind right now than 15. I bought … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts Tuesday
It's Tuesday. And last Tuesday, I met Stacy of Stacy Uncorked who hosts Random Thoughts Tuesday. And last night, I wrote an entire post that was eaten by the internet. And I didn't like it enough to justify re-writing it. So when I saw that Stacy had put up her Random Thoughts Tuesday link-up, I figured why not. Here goes: Random … [Read more...]
Twelve Days of Decluttering
How in the world did December already happen? The past two weeks have been crazy around here, and the next few promise to be pretty wild as well. Our church's big Christmas production (which I wrote and am directing) starts Friday night, so blogging will likely take a backburner to life. I wasn't going to worry too much about that, … [Read more...]
Planning to Be Desperate
Several years ago, I read about someone making the decision to immediately throw away any pen that didn't write. Sounds logical. I was relieved to know that an otherwise normal-seeming person struggled with this, and I determined to do it too. As someone who was forever finding and then re-finding pens that were out of ink, I've tried to be … [Read more...]
Maytag Tips
Sorry I've been silent. I've been touring the Maytag headquarters for the past few days and staying in the "Real Whirled" House. I thought I'd share a few facts and tips I've learned in the labs. 1. You can go to cee.org with the model number of your dishwasher and find out your water cost per load. 2. USE the heated dry! It makes a huge … [Read more...]
Laundry Day Loopholes
I love cleaning routine loopholes. Love them, as in I use them at every possible opportunity. Don't love them for what they do to my house in the long run. Like this: Fine. These loopholes are pretty much excuses. But most are so legit as REASONS that it's easy to justify them. So I'm calling them loopholes. Confusing … [Read more...]
Ugh. Time to Cook Again.
We've been well/over fed for the past week on our cruise, but it's time to get back to real life. Sort of. On Tuesday, I'm heading up north for a few days with Maytag, so this menu plan is mostly to keep my family alive while I'm gone and to ensure there are at least the ingredients for my mom to make a few meals while she's here helping out. … [Read more...]
