February flew by. When I realized a few minutes ago that I hadn't written a post about my February decluttering progress to link up at Amy's Finer Things, I clicked on my decluttering tab at the bottom of the page, only to verify that I haven't done as much in the past month as I should have. But as I've learned so well in this "coming clean" … [Read more...]
Bursting my Scrubbing Bubble
I have such a long way to go in this journey. My house is looking tons better overall, but I am still so quick to ditch the daily habits that make the difference between continuing the improvement and sliding back down into chaos. The past three days have been crazy. A very painful ear infection in my 3yo, Bible Study, Mom's group meeting, … [Read more...]
The Problem with "Just in Case"
I was watching the Three Stooges a few days ago. (With the kids . . . it's not exactly my show of choice for "me" time.) This episode began with them living in a shack. In the shack, Curly was making some soup, I believe it was tire soup or something equally Stoogish. He was cooking it over a fire in a pot that was under an iron bed frame. You … [Read more...]
Taking the Day Off to Snuggle
I had a post planned for today about how my chore chart has been working with the boys for the last month. I was excited to write it, but alas, mommyhood must take priority as I have a 3 year old with an earache who needs to snuggle. I'll hopefully get it up for next Works for Me Wednesday. A few random questions for my loyal readers, if you … [Read more...]
Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets – Freezer Cooking
The picture below is my smallest, ugliest one. And I think it looks pretty fabulous. And it tasted even better! My original plan turned out to be a little more than I could do, but I was determined to make the breakfast pockets. I really want to have more substantial quick breakfasts available to my kids, and I was sure they … [Read more...]
Squeezing in my Daily Checklist
Today has been a bit crazy. I haven't had tons of commitments or anything, but I really wanted to make the breakfast pockets and participate in Freezer Cooking Days at Money Saving Mom. Not a problem, except that it's also Tuesday, my new day to clean bathrooms. Not a problem, except that just yesterday we got notice that my kindergartner was … [Read more...]
28 Day Organizing Challenge – Office Clutter Corner
February is over. Oh my. At the beginning of February, I joined in on Orgjunkie's 28 Day Organizing Challenge. So today I'm going to reveal the results of my labor from the entire . . . morning. Yes, morning. I'm a procrastinator, and although I thought I'd work on this little by little all month, the month pulled a fast one on me and … [Read more...]
Laundry Report – Week 1 and Daily Checklist
Things I've learned during this first week of my new laundry routine: The boys have plenty of socks. I do not have enough socks. Don't wear your favorite totally-comfy-but-you-tell-yourself-they're-slimming-so-you-wear-them-twice-a-week sweatpants on Tuesday morning when you clean bathrooms. You won't be able to wear them again until after … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
Just a quick post to share my plans for freezer cooking next week. I normally love to cook up a lot of meat, but at this point, I don't have any sales available to stock up, so I'm going to keep using what I have until a sale comes along. But, I always appreciate some external motivation like Money Saving Mom's Freezer Cooking Days to kick me … [Read more...]
