Tiffany, from Eat at Home, is a mom of four who is passionate about cooking meals for her family. Like me. And . . . she's realistic. Like I strive to be. Her blog's tag-line is: Everyday food for busy people. LOVE it. So, … [Read more...]
Menu Plan of Simple New Recipes
Summer will be over in three short weeks! I tend to want to savor each remaining moment, and somehow this translates into a desire to grab fast food. Fast food is fun, and being in the kitchen after we get home from the pool . . . not so fun. You know I'm a fan of quick meals, and this week I'm excited to try some new ones from the brand, … [Read more...]
Decluttering . . . Genghis Khan Style
Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to see the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Irving Arts Center in Irving, TX. I'll be honest. I've never thought much about Genghis Khan other than some vague memories of him as a peripheral character in Mulan. But I love to broaden my horizons, expand my understanding of the world, and expose my kids to the … [Read more...]
Experiencing End-of-Summer Panic
It hit me last Friday that I had exactly one month until my youngest child started kindergarten. As in . . . one month until things change. Big time. I'll no longer be a mother of a pre-schooler and the nine-and-a-half-year period of my life that has included a little one by my side at all times . . . will be over. Handling it well? Not … [Read more...]
Re-Cleaning

What if You Are Ten Minutes from Success?
I'm overwhelmed right now. I returned home Sunday night from the Savvy Blogging Summit with my head still spinning from everything I learned. Everything I could do, should do, and would love to do. And I look at my home and see many MANY things that I could do, should do, and would love to do. Monday morning, as I still felt the … [Read more...]
Decluttering Decisions are Personal
When my husband gathered up trash this morning, and picked up this newly-broken lamp . . . I felt the familiar pang in my chest. Am I really going to put that lamp in the trash? But I love that lamp! LovED that lamp. Because now, of course, it's broken. When I arrived home Sunday evening from my trip, I was brought back to Mama … [Read more...]
Oh, That’s Right! It’s Monday . . .
My days are all confused. I am bone weary from my non-stop learning at the Savvy Blogging Summit, and haven't quite registered that today is the beginning of a brand new week. But when this pile outside my laundry room caught my eye, I realized that today is Monday. Because Monday is Laundry Day. And today is the day when hubby knows … [Read more...]
