I have deprived my children of a major joy of childhood. Hiding under the bed. If they were to see a television show where kids hid under a bed, they would probably react like my husband did as a child when he saw women's shampoo commercials. His mother always went to the beauty shop to have her hair done. Like him, my kids would be … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
I'm a little antsy/flustered/discombobulated/out-of-my-groove today as my 8yo is having a medical test tomorrow. He is on a liquid diet today, which is hard since he's officially entered the hollow-leg phase of life lately. Thankfully, he's a pretty happy-go-lucky kid and thinks it's cool that I picked him up for lunch and took him to Sonic for … [Read more...]
Here it is: My Laundry Day in all of its Glory
Last week when I made the shocking statement that I was beginning to enjoy Laundry Day, I was asked by MJ to explain the day in more detail. With all of the things going on in the life of a busy woman, the thought of devoting an entire day to laundry is daunting. I know this. Because remember, I'm no expert here. I'm just a woman who has … [Read more...]
How to Get Buyers to Your Garage Sale – Tips for Effective Advertising
You can put a lot of work into getting ready for your garage sale, but if no one comes . . . you’ve wasted your time and energy.

Menu Plan Monday – The Early Edition
I haven't planned my menu in three weeks. I have no real excuse. And I regret it. During week one, I realized that I'd made a mistake, and by week 3, I was desperate to get back to it. Last week, I did think through my menu for the week, but not having it written down meant that the stress was still lurking. Baseball season is upon us, so … [Read more...]
Sharing My Deep Dark Secret
My mind is blank. Today was a bit crazy, driving an hour to sell our van, spending the day with a friend who was willing to drive me an hour home, being totally paranoid that the guy would offer us a ridiculously low amount and my time would have been wasted, being excited that he offered a good price, blah blah blah. Some people have days like … [Read more...]
Mopping Again . . . Already?
I did something crazy this morning. Even though I have a perfectly good excuse to not do Thursday's task of mopping on the days when I have my Moms' Group meeting at 9 am, I guess I felt reckless and . . . . I mopped anyway. And I was done at 8:45. A.M.!!! And guess what? Even though I mopped last week, ONLY last week, the water . . . was … [Read more...]
My Weekly Tasks
It's Wednesday. I'm rushed for time. Same old story as every Wednesday. So since I haven't been home and therefore haven't made any progress, I thought I'd share my weekly tasks and how they're working for me, all together in one post. Here goes: Monday - Laundry. Tuesday - Bathrooms. Wednesday - Out all day, but I do my grocery … [Read more...]
Free Deodorant, Master Bedroom Chaos, and Me
If you've been here before, you know that I have "Master Bedroom Issues." It's my catch-all place for the many things that don't have a proper home. It's the door I can justify closing when company comes over (and it locks). I've had many a post about it, and slowly but surely, it is getting better. Slowly. But surely. I'm working in … [Read more...]
