You know I love taco salad as a picnic option, right? Well . . . soon after I posted that idea, I needed to feed a crowd, and I needed to keep things simple. Both of my boys were baptized on Mother's Day (BEST Mother's Day gift EVER), and both sides of the family were coming. I wanted to serve lunch in our home, but it was going to be a busy … [Read more...]
Gooooo Toilet Paper!!!
Have I mentioned that I was a cheerleader in Jr. High? Actually, it started way before that. From doing stunts with my best friend on the sidelines of my brother's pee wee games to studying books of proper stretching techniques . . . cheerleading was EVERYthing to me. I had the silver megaphone dangle-ring. I covered my walls in blue … [Read more...]
Some People Need Clear Instructions
I was putting together a new cleaning tool and had to giggle when I saw the last statement on that piece of paper that was attached to one of the parts. "Discard paper." I mean, who needs to be instructed to do that? It's like . . . the lasagna that has "Remove from Freezer" as the first step in its cooking instructions. Or the … [Read more...]
Back to School Boost
I'm sorry.  This bundle is no longer available. Seven days of an (icky) anti-biotic and I'm still feeling exceedingly lousy. A friend's horror story of her brother's experience with a similar illness has convinced me to head back to the doctor in the morning. Meanwhile, I thought I'd mention a big sale going on for an e-book … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts from Nony
1. There may be disadvantages to the world knowing your Slob Secret, but it sure is nice when old friends who read your blog and know your heart come over and you don't have to worry about having a perfect home. 2. How much would you be willing to pay to have your bathrooms wiped down nightly? My 8yo is currently obsessed with getting this … [Read more...]
Decluttering Kids’ Rooms: Drastic Measures with Positive Results
A week or so ago, Erica shared an AWESOME idea in the comments on Things a Mother Might Say When Helping Her Sons Declutter. I loved the idea so much that I asked her if she'd be willing to write it up as a guest post! If you're at your wits' end feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of STUFF in your kids' rooms, this idea might be for … [Read more...]
She Won’t Look in Here . . .
I promise, it's not Mother In Law Week around here. But really, a visit from an MIL is pretty much guaranteed to inspire a few posts for a Slob Blogger. As I was frantically getting my house cleaned up for her visit last Friday, I stopped for a moment to . . . well . . . you know. Anyway, as I was sitting there for a moment, I looked … [Read more...]
Making It Look Like I Haven’t Cleaned
We all know I have issues, right? Good. On Friday . . . when I should have been basking in a kid-free morning while the kids were at my mom's house, I was cleaning. I'd been putting off any and all cleaning tasks all week under the assumption that I was going to start feeling better the next day. Except that I felt worse each day than I … [Read more...]
Dusting with Kids
Last week I shared this picture on Instagram and Facebook. It was Dusting, Vacuuming and Mopping Day around here. This kid (who claimed complete exhaustion and likely-devastating-disease in an attempt to get out of participating in DVM Day) changed his tune when he remembered these dusting slippers. So he called dusting. First . . . and … [Read more...]
