Maybe I'm not Martha, but these things are awesome! I didn't make all of the things on my freezer cooking plan, but I did spend my Happening-Saturday-Night making these breakfast pockets, and they're the best ones I've made so far. I don't know if it made the difference, but I used bread flour this time, and they taste fabulous! When I was a … [Read more...]
My Decluttering Progress for April
I can't believe it's May. When I wrote the title for this post just now, I had to stop and think which month to write, because April just started, but I already had a post about March. Actually, April just ended. Wow. I did pretty well last month, moving steadily toward my garage sale. I was supposed to have already had it, but rain was … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Again, I regretted neglecting a menu plan last week. Even my kitchen seems to stay cleaner when I have a plan, and the reverse when I don't. Who knows how that works? And thinking about my menu now probably saved me a decent chunk of money. I have a roast in the fridge that needs to be cooked, and knowing my scatter-brained self, I'd forget … [Read more...]
More Freezer Cooking Plans!
I've done this for several months now, and I find it quite funny that just as hubby ran out of breakfast pockets, Money Saving Mom is doing another Freezer Cooking Days. So . . . um . . . obviously I'm doing more breakfast pockets. I made them with ham, eggs and cheese last time, but this time I bought some HOT breakfast sausage to use as the … [Read more...]
My Vacuum Cleaner’s New Frontier
It's Friday . . . so I dusted and vacuumed. In the past two months or so of this new Task-a-Day thing, I've developed a bit of a method for vacuuming my house. Since all the main areas of the house have hardwood floors, I go through first with the broom and get the corners and edges swept out into the middle of the floor. Then I can vacuum … [Read more...]
Laundry Day’s Fatal Flaw
So I'm loving laundry day. Mostly the lack of the nagging I-should-be-doing-laundry-right-now feeling. It's an almost perfect plan. Focus for one day. Forget it - sans guilt - for the other six. I've even proven that I can do it on days when we have a field trip to the zoo. Nothing's stopping me now, right? Right? Nothing except … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today has been better than yesterday's Day of Funk. I made my bed when I got up . . . a good sign.I emptied the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen after last night's excessively messy rice-krispies-as-a-chicken-coating episode. (Do NOT get distracted while crushing rice krispies with the bottom of a cup and talking to your husband on the phone and … [Read more...]
Curing My Funk
Me and my moods. I call this a funk. It's not like I'm down or anything, I just don't feel like doing anything. I'm tired, run-down, listless . . . maybe I need some Vitametavegamin? It isn't that anything is wrong. It's a normal crazy Wednesday. I discovered while sitting in my discussion group at my Bible Study that I had finished last … [Read more...]
Accepting How I Learn
First, let me clarify a few things. 1. Flylady is awesome. When people ask me for advice here, I try to make it clear that I'm no expert when it comes to cleaning, organizing, etc. and I generally send them her way. If you want to know what it takes to get your house under control, she's your woman. And she'll tell you exactly … [Read more...]
