Garage sales. Love 'em. As I've shared before, my slobbish ways came perilously close to hoarding when I discovered eBay and the whole "buy it for a quarter, sell it for 17.01" fabulousness. Garage sales became less of a shopping experience, and more of a grabbing experience. Up at 6:30, crazy-eyes aglow with the anticipation of finding … [Read more...]
Forever Re-Prioritizing
Mamas know all about re-prioritizing. Whether it's the big and noble stuff like adjusting your vision of the mom you dreamed you would be to the mom you are capable of being, or the little stuff like shortening an already short list of must-have items from the store when your toddler falls and puts a gash in her knee. Or maybe it's the … [Read more...]
Ever Thought About Trying the Coupon Thing?
Sorry! This offer has expired. While this isn't a frugal/money-saving blog, I do mention my love of coupons fairly often. If you've thought about getting started, but don't know where to turn, I highly recommend Grocery University, by Carrie Isaac.

Right Place at the Wrong Time?
I talk a lot about my Selective Slob Vision. It is totally true that I tend to not see clutter until I trip over it. And sometimes not even then. But I'll give one to the skeptical-normal-people here. Ummmm, sometimes I choose not to see it. Today I was at the sink at 12:11 p.m. Normally, my daughter and I eat our lunch at 11 a.m. … [Read more...]

Hi, My Name is Nony . . . and I Have Toys-with-lots-of-teeny-tiny-parts-a-phobia
"They" say that the first step is admitting you have a problem. I have a problem. Actually, I have lots of them, but I'll focus on one for today. I have a fear of toys-with-lots-of-teeny-tiny-parts. Like Legos. This is a prime example of my slob-tendencies affecting my real job . . . being a mom. I've successfully avoided Legos … [Read more...]

Reality Check
A few days ago, I was talking to a friend. We're friends . . . even though she's normal. She's one of the few real-lifers that knows about the blog. She's the friend who had kids first and used to have hubby and I over all the time when we were newlyweds since she needed to keep her kids on a schedule, while we were footloose … [Read more...]
