I'm tired. Crazy tired from my fun, mind-boggling, and totally-worth-it trip to the Savvy Blogging Summit. A menu plan is the last thing on my mind, but I know I'll be grateful for this blogging-for-accountability thing tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. if I can get one done tonight. And in an effort to not have to use too many overworked brain cells … [Read more...]
Introducing Myself as a Slob
I'm at the Savvy Blogging Summit, and that's my view as I write this morning. This very early morning when I should be sleeping, but can't. Perhaps that is due to my still-spinning head after only a half-day in the presence of blogging greatness. It's fun (and frightening) to go into a situation where I openly introduce myself as Nony the … [Read more...]
Tunnel-Vision – (I Like It!)
I've had tunnel-vision lately. It's a good thing, and a bad thing. Honestly, I like it. In dealing with my Slob Problem, balance is my biggest challenge. When my house is under control, my brain is free to be creative, and I can do small projects here and there more easily because I don't have to clear a spot or dig around (as much) to … [Read more...]
My Bed: Our Home’s Housekeeping Barometer
Please note: I'm claiming artistic license more than scientific fact in this post. I'm okay with that. I think I have some sort of disability when it comes to caring about weather predictions. I can not watch the weather. I'm incapable. I've tried. There are times when I know inside my logical-grown-up brain that I need to find … [Read more...]
I’m Off to Learn More About Blogging (Way More)!
Later this week, I'll be heading to the Savvy Blogging Summit to learn more about how to improve this little ol' blog of mine. And I'm so very thankful that part of my trip is being sponsored by Clever Girls Collective. If you've been around here long, you know that I don't apologize for wanting this blog to be my gig. My paying gig. I … [Read more...]
Practical Tips for Teaching Kids to Cook
I've shared that one of my summer goals is to teach my boys to cook. Nothing fancy. No chef hats or complicated techniques. Just survival cooking. The kind that will keep them alive in their bachelor years. They are seven and nine, and they've helped me in the kitchen in the past, but I want them to gain some independence. I had each … [Read more...]
A Small Improvement for Those Reading Backwards
If you were in the middle of reading backwards when I switched from Blogger to Wordpress last month, you were probably frustrated that the way you were reading changed. I was frustrated too. Frustrated doesn't even describe it. I'm still working to figure out how to make it the way it was, but I did happen upon the "Calendar" feature this … [Read more...]
Organizing Systems Don’t (Do the) Work
I've purged. I've figured things out. I've established routines. And yet, there are still days when I could totally qualify for "one of those" shows. The ones where they take before pictures and viewers are horrified. Then a heroic organizer comes in and establishes wonderful systems that will forever change the person's life. Many … [Read more...]
Hearing a Strange Voice
During a conversation regarding whether the Chinese umbrellas that were used for VBS decorations should be saved or included with the things passed on to another church, a strange voice said: “Can you think of ANY specific reason that you might need them? No? Get rid of them!” After seeing that my mother has new deck chairs and finding the … [Read more...]
