This morning, I awoke to pink cabinet pulls in my bathroom. The same way I have for more than five years now. Honestly, I didn't think much about them, or about how much I didn't like them, until I drove up to the building supply store and saw the ones I've been longing for . . . for five years. They were in an outdoor display, and were … [Read more...]
Dish-Drying Mat Giveaway!!!
Since big dishes, the ones that take up all of my counter space, tend to be a detail/afterthought in my mind, I think this giveaway is perfect for my 31 Days of Details series. Have you seen those microfiber, highly absorbent dish-drying mats? Have you ever wondered if they work? Recently, I was sent some mats to test out by Envision … [Read more...]
Detail First (Or Not at All)
My Father-in-Law is coming to spend the night tomorrow night. Our house is just a place to sleep between the events of his high school reunion nearby. I'm happy that we can provide a place for him. But I'm also a little panicked that he's coming . . . tomorrow! I keep holding out hope that life's craziness will decrease soon. I thought it … [Read more...]
Coming Back to a Detail
Remember last week when I made the choice to deal with sticks instead of clearing off an obviously cluttered shelf in my living room? Remember how I chose the sticks based completely on the assumption that the sticks would be quicker? I was wrong. Today, I dealt with the shelf, and it took all of about a minute. Fine, maybe a little … [Read more...]
Daisy Cupcakes – The Only Detail that Mattered Today
Today . . . was crazy. But I did empty the dishwasher and re-load it to be run again tonight. It's that warding-off-disaster thing. Anyway, the majority of my day between getting home from Bible Study and delivering frozen cookie dough that just happened to come in on the day of our first Girl Scout Daisy meeting was spent . . . . … [Read more...]
Today’s Detail: Heels
No, not high-heels as the detail to complete a stylish outfit. Far from it. Heels of bread. Lots of them. Each pair in its own individual bread bag, scattered throughout my fridge. There was no school today, so we decided to go on a (cheap) family outing. We headed to a state park, and wanted to take a picnic lunch. But I was … [Read more...]
Menu Plan – and a Pesky Little Detail Called Completion
It's over a week into my 31 Days of Details, and honestly . . . today feels like a take-a-nap-while-it's-raining kind of day. But I've promised to notice AND act upon details every day this month. Since it's time to plan my menu anyway, which means thinking about groceries, I thought I'd take care of a pesky little detail that's been bugging … [Read more...]
The One In One Out Rule – It’s a Detail
I got a new travel mug this week. A really cute purple and white one. I brought it home, washed it, and put it immediately in the coffee-mug cabinet. All in the same day. For me, an accomplishment. I can't tell you the number of times I've found cutesy stuff in a bag three months after I got it. Anyway, after closing the cabinet door … [Read more...]
Details Like . . . Dirty Laundry in the Kitchen
It's Friday of the first week of 31 Days of Details. Here's my detail for today: It kind of makes me giggle. My kids have recently been re-motivated to keep up with their daily checklists. Thankfully, I have one who is particularly motivated to motivate the others. (Born leader, desire to boss others around, concern for his siblings . . … [Read more...]
