I recently bought a set of storage canisters for my flour, sugar, etc. Somehow, this makes me feel like a real woman. When I first set up house, I thought I was too good for Tupperware. Not Tupperware in general (I actually sold it for a while after college and was rather obsessed with it) . . . but too good for Tupperware as … [Read more...]
Round Steak Crock Pot Recipe
Creative title, huh? I'm not feeling terribly inspired in these few moments that I have between getting home from a crazy day out, and leaving to pick up the boys from school, so I thought I'd post the recipe for round steak in the crock pot that several of you recently requested. It's not much of a "recipe." It's a … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist 2/16/11
Ummm, yeah . . . . not much of a checklist today. After a week of sickness followed by two weeks of Snow Days falling on Wednesdays, we had our first crazy Bible-Study-Dance-Class-all-in-one-day Wednesday in a while. I:Made bed. Emptied dishwasher (that I ran yesterday morning because I forgot to run it the night before, and now … [Read more...]
It’s Not Clutter If I Use It
I have boxes and boxes filled with random stuff. Most of the time, it's because I just don't know what to do with it. I hate to get rid of something that brings back a special memory. Even though I only experience the memory when I run across it in a box. I went to a garage sale a few years ago and found a huge group of collector drinking … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist 2/15/11
I'm still in my jammies, because it's been a busy morning. Not run-around-town busy, just oh-my-I-have-so-much-to-do-at-home-and-you-want-me-to-add-what? busy.I was blessed to be able to help someone out by editing an article for them. An article with a deadline of . . . today. Which meant that I had to turn on the computer before … [Read more...]
Ten Reasons I Like to Exercise at Home
I thought about titling this post: Ten Reasons I Prefer to Exercise at Home, but then realized that I've never really worked out in a gym, so I can't compare. I've had memberships a few times . . . 10. I've never been successful working out in a gym. I just don't go. 9. It's more difficult to say I don't have enough time when I don't have … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – Valentine’s Day ’11
Having our school Valentine's parties last Friday and our family Valentine's Dinner on Saturday makes today a little anti-climactic. But I did remember to wish my hubby a Happy Valentine's Day this morning. Laundry is going. I didn't get home last night until late, and forgot to get it all sorted. As I was heading to bed, completely … [Read more...]
A Simple and Easy . . . . Fancy Valentine’s Dinner
Before I share my menu plan for the week, I thought I'd share what has become our traditional family Valentine's Dinner. Maybe it's just me . . . . but I have big dreams about creating special family times and lifelong memories for my children. Dreams . . . but sometimes not plans. Valentine's Day generally sneaks up on us. It seems to … [Read more...]
Please Don’t Make This Any Harder Than It Already Is
It's difficult enough for me to throw things away. And because of my tendency to have three of every one thing I need, I often have to get rid of perfectly good stuff. I donate that stuff. Sometimes I need to get rid of not-perfectly-good-anymore stuff that's been hanging around much longer than it should. That's the stuff I have to talk … [Read more...]
