I'm over-committed. That could possibly sound noble, while this is most certainly not noble: Especially since the oft-repeated instruction in my e-book is "Do the dishes." I have a mostly-written post that I was going to put up today. It's all about how there is a limit to how much I can handle and how once I go over that limit, … [Read more...]
The Waiting Room
We looked at a house recently. My main concern was that it had too many rooms. I know. I can't believe I said that either. As someone with an unhealthy love of closeable doors, I used to assume that additional rooms would solve ever-so-many of my problems. The room I had envisioned (from the internet description) as my "Project Room" had … [Read more...]
Cleaning Wood Furniture
Have I ever mentioned that ONE of my problems is . . . if I'm not confident about how to clean something, I let my fear of doing it wrong keep me from doing it at all? No? Well, it is. (One of them.) I love wood furniture, and as long as dusting is all that needs to be done to keep it looking beautiful, I feel pretty good. But when wood … [Read more...]
No More Easter Grass! We Don’t Want Easter Grass!
Did you read that as a chant of protest? Because that's how it went in my head. I despise Easter grass, so this year I'm fighting back by . . . not having any. Except that the purpose of Easter grass is to be filler. So, to take up lots of space, I'm using: Tennis balls. The boys are heading into baseball season and we won't let … [Read more...]
Traction
No time to write today. I'm working hard on our church's Easter morning service which involves drama this year. But . . . I did want to be sure I mention that today is technically the last day of the 3$ e-book sale using the code SPRING. NOTE: "28 Days" is now in retirement, but it is now included in my books, How to Manage Your Home without … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Pie Recipe
We're not a dessert-every-single-night family. Not that my kids (especially my born-persistent five year old) don't ask for it every night. So, when Mama's in the mood for a little something special to finish off the meal, everyone gets excited! The easiest way I know to bring about those smiles is to slice whatever fruit we have on hand and … [Read more...]
Cut Off from My Safety Net
No, my dear gutter-minded reader, that is not a scarf hanging on the doorknob for the stereotypical sitcom reasons. (We have a lock for that.) The scarf was hanging on the door because yesterday afternoon, Hubby wasn't feeling well and needed to rest. At the same time, I was busy picking up the house for home groups last night, and had to … [Read more...]
Monday Night Supper (and a 3 Day $3 e-book sale)
I know there are many people who survive in the kitchen by serving certain meals on certain days of the week. Generally, we don't do this, but lately Monday has become our Chicken and Veggies night. After our Two Weeks of Only Fruits and Veggies a while back, we decided to make at least one meal a week that was primarily fresh fruits/veggies … [Read more...]
March Decluttering Report
It's the end of March. How exactly did that happen? Since it's Friday, I'll go ahead and report on my decluttering efforts for the month even though there's a whole day left. (If I happen to declutter something tomorrow, I'll add it to next month's report.) My decluttering progress: I JUST DECLUTTERED in the boys' room. No … [Read more...]
