But Slobs are So Much Fun . . . .
I visited Lifeasmom.com's Birthday Cake Round-up. Why? Because I love love love themed kid parties and making the cakes to go along with them. This is the ladybug cake from my daughter's 3rd birthday. I used my big glass measuring thingy from Pampered Chef because I remembered hearing at a party that you could use it to bake a cake. I … [Read more...]

A "Great" Cleaning Tip from a Slob
The Best Way to Clean this Play-Doh "Doolally": First, thank the mother of the child who gave it to your child. Then, allow your child to enjoy the "moment" and play with it to her heart's content. At clean up time, remove this tool and the other 15 parts of the toy and place them in a cabinet that looks something like this: Pile … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist – Sick Day
As a mom, there's no such things as concrete plans. Normal cold/flu season sickness probabilities multiplied by 4 (you plus 3 kids), multiplied by all of the kids whom your kids come in contact with, who may or may not grasp the concepts of mouth-covering and hand-washing, and you learn very quickly to clarify all commitments with the phrase … [Read more...]
Painful Drawer Clean-out
Why painful, you ask? I cleaned out four, yes FOUR, kitchen drawers last night and today, and EVERY SINGLE one of them had tacks spilled in them. LOTS of tacks. Really? Is this some cruel joke I play on myself while sleepwalking? I have quite a few pictures I could show you. About 10 in fact. But I'm only going to show three since … [Read more...]

The Pantry Challenge is OVER!!!!!
Today is PAYDAY! Can you feel the joy? I enjoyed the pantry challenge. Really . . . I did. The first three weeks I was excited, felt a great sense of pride and accomplishment, and thought I could probably go on doing it indefinitely. Last week, I was mad. I think I actually said at one point to hubby when he was tiptoeing around me, "And … [Read more...]
My New Non-Negotiable for the Week
My checklist was pretty pathetic last week. The first two days are partially filled, the third has three checks, and then I forgot that it existed. I could come up with a fabulous list of totally legit excuses, but I'll spare you. I have been asked to post the actual checklist, and if I can figure out how to do that, I will. I listed all of the … [Read more...]
