So NOW What Do I Do With This Stuff?
I had my garage sale. Just this week, I unloaded on, oops . . . I mean, blessed a friend with the last box of leftover clothes that had been sitting in the back of my Suburban for almost a week. And then, while folding clothes, I came across a cute little skirt of my daughter's that should fit . . . but doesn't. "Time to get rid of it!" … [Read more...]
Details, Details
Summer: Day 3 We're thoroughly enjoying our summer days. We've managed to keep the kitchen in pretty decent shape. Again this morning, the boys swept it and wiped down the table and counters. But still, if someone who didn't know how bad things can be around here had walked in this morning, clean bathrooms and wiped counters would have gone … [Read more...]
Teaching My Children to Clean Bathrooms
Today is the first Tuesday of the summer. Tuesday is the day I clean bathrooms. So . . . today was the day I taught my kids to clean the bathrooms. Overall, it went quite well. I was prepared.

My Ultra Cheap Dinner

But sometimes a girl just has an urge to link to something . . . so I'm linking up to the 5 dollar Dinner Challenge at 5dollardinners.com, an awesome site for recipes that are … [Read more...]
Summer: Day 1 – No Big Productions
Today was the first official day of summer. Waking up . . . or not . . . on a Monday morning . . . it really didn’t matter. Last summer, pre-blog, in the middle of total frustration about my home, I had big plans. I made charts and found stickers, and came up with a huge and elaborate reward system. And I was scared. I was so tired of living … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
It's the beginning of the month, and so it's time for another freezer cooking session. Not that I want to. With summer officially beginning on Monday, I don't really have the time or the gumption to do a cooking marathon, but I do want to make a few things to help summer go smoothly. First of all . . . you guessed it - more breakfast pockets. … [Read more...]
Trying to Be Cool
You may remember that I'm going to the Savvy Blogging Summit in July. I'm totally excited as I am dreaming more and more of where this blog could go. Just last night, I was at a pool party for my husband's work, eavesdropping on a conversation between several women complaining about their struggles to keep their homes out of chaos. Seriously … [Read more...]
