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...]

Peace . . . Defined
I recently read a definition of peace that I'd never heard before. "The conscious possession of adequate resources." Ummm . . . wow. Possessions? I've got plenty. Adequate? Yes. Even though sometimes the budget feels tight, we have clothes to wear every day, food to eat for every meal and lots of snacks, and a climate controlled home … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking For People Who Can’t Remember to Thaw (and my Mexican Casserole Recipe)
Before my second child was born (7 years ago yesterday), I shared with my mother-in-law that I was trying to freeze quite a few meals to make life easier after the baby arrived. Later, a mutual friend asked me what kinds of casseroles I had frozen. I had no idea what this person was talking about. After a very confusing conversation, I … [Read more...]
